Much like the rest of the internet world, New Brunswick has warmly embraced Facebook. This is a welcoming event, if only because it makes for more interesting digital reading than Charles Leblanc. Sadly, even online our parochialism still shines through (ex: how come SJ gets a network and not F'ton? M'ton? New River Beach? South Branch?)....
There are, however, some really interesting Facebook groups that make our tiny province look like a wonderful little laboratory for democratic exchange.
Some examples?
Saint John needs a 24 hour liquor store - 833 members
Fredericton Call Centre Employees - 100+ members
Port City Gossip - 80+ members
Saint John Singles - 2 members?
Dairy Queen Fredericton Employees - 180 members!?!
Fredericton Drivers Make Me Violent - 500+ members
Bring the Eagles to Moncton - 400+ members??
I lived in Moncton now I'm gone - 350+ members
I'm drunk in my facebook picture - NB chapter - 150+ members
Is the Saint John Telegraph Journal a tabloid? - 150+ members
of course, if group memberships were linked to elections, the guy who's going to get an image of Bruce Frisko's face tattooed on his body because 25,000 Maritimers told him to is likely going to be the next Premier of PEI in a couple of weeks...
