Spink About It: Reaching for Mediocrity
http://spinkaboutit.blogspot.com/2008/07/reaching-for-mediocrity.html
Tuesday, July 8, 2008. There were three articles in the Daily Gleaner today (Tuesday 8 July) on the EFI debacle. The first was an editorial letter from professor Robertson at Mount A, that says the Government's approach to fixing the literacy woes by killing EFI was and is wrong. Then the Editorial basically accuses Lamrock of striving for mediocrity rather than excellence in education. (An almost 180 change from their previous praise of this forward thinking, loquacious politician). Don't think so Kell.

Spink About It: Price of Steel
http://spinkaboutit.blogspot.com/2008/07/price-of-steel.html
Thursday, July 17, 2008. I hope they can change materials and keep the seats and the larger ice surface. No point having a rink without it being a venue. Can't attract larger events and completions if there is no place to sit. But you have to ask. if the price of steel is a concern, why isn't it also affecting the construction of the new Conference center and Government office tower? Why is it only affecting the City's costs for the new arena? How come we don't hear about that? 11 - Ivan Fecan.

Thursday, June 12, 2008. Maybe CTV getting the HNIC theme wasn't so bad. It could have been worse. At least it stayed in Canada. 11 - Ivan Fecan. Brian Cormier’s Blogtastic World.

Spink About It: Guest Blog - CBC's driving me batty
http://spinkaboutit.blogspot.com/2008/06/guest-blog-cbcs-driving-me-batty.html
Friday, June 6, 2008. Guest Blog - CBC's driving me batty. Guest blog below sent to me by a friend. Interesting take on some recent CBC stances. There's been a few stories lately at CBC where I've been concerned they've been taking a stance as opposed to reporting the news and letting the listener decide. I see I'm not the only one thinking that. Lengthier than my regular posts but read on. Despite the CBC's constant crying for government accountability and openness, the taxpayer-funded CBC opens its boo...

Spink About It: Time for some ideas on French language instruction in New Brunswick
http://spinkaboutit.blogspot.com/2008/06/time-for-some-ideas-on-french-language.html
Tuesday, June 24, 2008. Time for some ideas on French language instruction in New Brunswick. Education Minister Kelly Lamrock takes to the air of CBC Radio on Wednesday morning (7 to 8am I believe) for a province wide call-in regarding changes to delivering French language instruction to English students. Open houses on the issue start that day around the province and continue on Saturday. I fully expect the call-in to be an hour of him getting slammed. Maybe he deserves it but here’s the problem.

Spink About It: You say tomatoes, McDonald’s says no tomatoes.
http://spinkaboutit.blogspot.com/2008/06/you-say-tomatoes-mcdonalds-says-no.html
Saturday, June 7, 2008. You say tomatoes, McDonald’s says no tomatoes. McDonald’s in Fredericton has stopped serving tomatoes . Signs are everywhere but offer no explanation except to say if you have a beef talk to the manager. Wendy’s did this a few years ago when the price of tomatoes went high. You could still get them but you had to ask specifically for them or you were without the “T” in the BLT. 11 - Ivan Fecan. Brian Cormier’s Blogtastic World. Countering the Nanny State.
