Can We Bring Back 'The Picture Province'(TM)?
Apparently, the province of New Brunswick has a new brand.
Never mind hope restored, or any other message steeped in history or having significant meaning.
Our uplifting message is now "In New Brunswick you can be yourself, you can belong and you can be better."
It's a bit of a snore, but at least it's better than the status-quo is not an option.

Saint John City Hall, Decider
Many scorned George W. Bush when, in one of his many malapropisms, he declared that he was the 'decider.'
A similar mentality decended into Saint John a few weeks back, when mayor Norm McFarlane declared that despite upcoming consultations surrounding the North of Union development, the wrecking ball was already booked. The 'decider' had apparently made a decision.
Now, he appears to have wisely backtracked some, and allowed the public to voice their opinion in public forums and online. The only problem? When the reader attempts to get background information on the official site, he/she is told 'it's coming soon'.
Oh well, at least this city has a past record of hasty decisions. Anyone bored enough to examine 1960 council minutes will find a resolution that called upon the city to replace the historic city market with a more modern structure.
By the way, that resolution was made behind closed doors.

Thank you, Iowa....
Mega-pundit Mark Halperin has just declared Barack Obama as the likely next President of the United States.
For the record, this blog called it a few months ago.
