What's wrong with Journalists going at Larry's Gulch anyway???

Charles,

Because it shows just how close to the government the Irving media really is-although its not like people didn't know that. But this issue is also the fact that an attempt was made to remove the journalists name from the register, and a denial was made that it occurred. It also shows just how lousy the media is in New Brunswick that the story is 'broke' from some website nobody heard of. Mind you, given that Charles 'broke' the story that rooming house tenants had no housing rights in New Brunswick, then that also isn't really news to anybody paying attention. But the fact is that lots of people DON"T pay attention.

Its also something of a travesty that the New Brunswick government even HAS a secret fishing lodge where it 'entertains' all manner of people. What, a hotel isn't good enough for them? Whats going on that they have to meet out in the woods under police protection? Combine that with the other fact that New Brunswick 'auctions' off pieces of rivers, something that is also illegal in every other province (technically you can't 'own' a waterway), and it shows just how much of a banana republic the province really is. That the crown has nothing better to do than prosecute an 'assault' with no actual witnesses also pretty much proves that as well. So somebody following Charles blog may very well think "hey, compared to most of the s&&& that goes on, who cares about who stays at a lodge?" But again, lots of people don't follow the blog, so this is pretty newsworthy.

Thanks to the article at Canadaland we are also reminded that a former Brunswick news official is now a high ranking official for Brian Gallant, showing that the more things change in NB, the more they stay the same.
