Interesting Weekend, Eh?

My deepest apologies for being AWAL since Friday morning but I had obligations relating to work, volunteerism and family to attend to.

Let's hear your thoughts on the weekend that was.

• CBC has launched it new election website, NB Votes 2006. The site is a decent resource for election-related information. Notice how there are three leaders profiled on CBC's page, representing each of the three parties? That's right, Telegraph Journal: there are three.
• Jacques Poitras even has his own column. They call it a blog. Normally, when a mainstream media outlet furnishes us with a "blog", it is received with an appropriate amount of skepticism as it often represents a ploy to co-opt the medium and push bloggers/non-jounalists who are not beholden to large corporate interests out of the picture. I have a soft spot for Mother Corp. and its public mandate, though, so perhaps we can treat this one as a noble, unbiased venture. We'll see.
• The Liberals are promising to remove 3.8 cents per litre from the cost of fuel. Yep, $1.50 per fill up. I haven't been this excited about personal savings since Stephen Harper's GST cut shaved nearly a penny off of the cost of my morning cup of coffee.

Back with more later on.
