Let's all work towards a greater good and produce a unified voice of the province.

Charles and I have been talking as to how best transform the current state of this site to something more useful and beneficial to the readers of this blog. We think we have a good idea...

We want to make this site more interactive and expand on its growing success by allowing the readers to create posts just as Charles does. I understand that many here are concerned not with everything Charles has to say as he contributes to many topics and issues but if you would like to have published a post that reflects your views and you believe it is suitable for this site then please by all means write, write and write. You can send any posts that you would like on this site to myself and Charles and we can work towards publishing them when you see fit.

I encourage all to comment as this site is not for Charles rather the concerns of individual New Brunswickers seeking to reveal the greatness and not; of this beautiful province. I have personally invited some current and past bloggers to contribute to unify the voice of many. Lets try and make this site get noticed and use this as a catalyst for reason and change in this province.

If you have any great ideas on how to spread the word or make this site more friendly please feel free to let us know.

Reagrds,
WCIE and Charles LeBlanc.

First of all this site is a great public service. Keep it up. Most of your commentators want to remain anonymous. I do not know what your privacy policy is. Whether you note people’s IP addresses. If you do then it would discourage people to visit the site and leave comments. Although it is also understood that comments must not be in any way threatening and liable and commentators must realize that. My suggestion will be let people make anonymous comments and you can pick and choose the ones you wish to publish on the main page.

What is happening in this province is horrible. Judging by the plight of pregnant woman, woman who cannot grieve her husband’s death, single-mother with small children being evicted from public housing and denied access to her belongings (including pets and necessities for babies) are very disturbing stories and we are becoming a police state and something needs to be done to change things. Opposition MLAs need to speak up louder and more forcefully and help stop these injustices being carried out. It is frightening that it will come to this.

I fully agree that many users of this site want to remain anonymous. I myself would also like that benefit. We would only like to extend the opportunity for anyone or group that would like to voice their opinion on a current topic and have the viewers of this blog comment just as you have above. As for a privacy policy, our site changes almost daily, and a formal privacy policy is not something we have even considered. I can tell you this however, any correspondance that is sent to my email account will remain private and confidential. I think posting in this manner, where the email is sent to myself and I post it under Charles login or my own, we can keep the anonymity and indicate that the post was from a concerned or informed reader. Thats as specific as we would take it. But ultimately the option is up to ou what recognition, if any you would like to recieve.

WCIE

I have been saying exactly what the title above entails is for the last few years the lord government has created so much caos in so many areas of topics and in doing so,has to a point,broken us up into seperate smaller groups argueing out the facts of seperate issues as each group feels deserves an importance in order. But what we need to do is to get our focus together and get it right by using larger numbers to deal with each item to suceed,this point was brought up again at the meeting in front of city hall this afternoon with the fairness to taxation protest that took place I had a chat with a couple of individuals and they shared that same consern.

Does this site record the IP address of visitors?

WCIE said...

It is a fact with using the internet that every where you surf to is tracked in some form or another. This site does not log ip addresses and is not interested in logging ip addresses. However, with this said, if you click on the hit counter on the left, you will see that the site statistics are found there. Again, Charles and I are not interested in knowing exactly who uses this site rather encourage all to participate in meaningful debate.
