I was listening intently to CBC Labrador Morning as I was of the understanding that we would be informed of how the show would be impacted by the latest round of staff and funding cuts.
Listening to CBC morning, noon and afternoon shows is an integral part of my day. Even when it’s bad it is still better than any other……………..OK it is the only MSM we get other than on the internet.
Any way I was a little disappointed when the CBC honcho from St. John’s finely came on and all we got was information already available. That is that Labrador in HV-GB and Labrador City will loose 2 to 3 positions and the format of Labrador Morning will change.
We have to wait until May to find out how the format will change and until September until we find out how many positions will be lost.
On the upside of that is that the positions are around a little longer, but the people working there will I guess be on tender hooks for a little longer.
And, with any luck the Conservative Government in Ottawa who has perpetrated this travesty may not be in power by then, though by looking at the opposition in Ottawa that is an outside chance at best

I am not sure if this is a serious bit of news or what. But I can imagine the uproarious shenanigans that would go on in the city hall of St. John’s if something like this was allowed in that city of potholes and drive throughs.
Starbucks filling pot holes outside Tim Horton’s, Burger king outside McDonalds, KFC outside Mary Jane’s; it would be a laugh a minute down in the bunker on Gower Street, or whatever street it is on.

On thinking about the potentials maybe some version of that could work up here. This collage is just some of the garbage boxes round town, the condition when the photos were taken is the norm rather than the exception during winter.
Perhaps NICG could construct new boxes and make it known to business that they could buy advertising space on the boxes. It would be particularly helpful for those outside businesses that continually send paper flyer's in the mail, most of which end up on the post office floor.
Sort of like killing two birds with one stone [inside joke in there somewhere], you eliminate all those flyer's, reduce the need to cut down trees, help the community with their finances and at the same time contribute to a cleaner user friendly environment for the towns residence.
OK there are more than two birds there, but who’s counting.

we have a local guy here who makes them (garbage boxes)for a hobby and sells them for about cost price. i don't se any old deep freezes in your photos. i use to see a lot of those around our community a few years back.
Some householders have various forms of “garbage bins’ TM, some home made others using whatever is at hand, can’t say I have seen an old freezer, plenty down at the dump though.
My little rant comes out of frustration with the collection system and the apathy towards large amounts of garbage being scattered over the towns roads. The pictures in post are all of ‘communal’ garbage bins.
It is a long convoluted story and I just decided to vent my frustrations with some facetiousness.
Then again on reflection it may not be a bad idea selling ad space, as long as it helped reduce those pesky flyers.
