Our services this week are scheduled for: 9am Holy Eucharist, St. Andrew's, Neil's Harbour 11amHoly Eucharst, St. John's, Ingonish This week we will be blessed by welcoming The Very Reverend Glen Burgomaster with us as a special guest preacher. Father Glen is the Dean of the Diocese of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island and the Rector of the Cathedral Church of All Saints, Halifax . All are welcome at our services of worship. UPDATE: I just got off the phone with Father Glen, and sadly he will not be with us this week. He is suffering with a bad case of strep throat. Let us pray for his quick recovery from this painful ailment.

The folks at CBC On The Line quoted me too...

Thanks to my old friend at yougeek.ca I have learned that my blog has been quoted by another. The author(s) of TNG/TNG has pointed others my way.

Their website says that they were "forced" to lock out the members of the the Reporters' Guild, but I think if they were to be honest they "chose" to lock them out.

Now, I am not sure if anyone will actually read this but... To the managers of the CBC get back to doing what you do best so that the quality programming that we have all come to expect from your corporation can continue. Please, make the choice to go back to the table and reopen negotiations so that you can chose to reopen your doors to your employees. Everyday you chose othe...
