The easiest way to get it is to go to google. Type in Graeme Decarie. (Youtube also has some videos I've done.)
On the first page that comes up when you google my name, You'll see one entry, probably several, that refer to Moncton Times and Transcript or Moncton Grimes and Dripdrain. Any of those will get you to my blog.
You have to understand that the Irving family owns most of New Brunswick, including all the newspapers and some of the radio stations. They run endless propaganda for whatever the Irvings want. And much of the "news" is just trivia. They're a stunningly greedy and ruthless family - and quite apart from that, the newspapers are unprofessional, sloppy, and unethical. I know a bit about journalism. While I was teaching, I was many years on radio twice daily as a commentator; I wrote for newspapers and magazines; I was often on television for CBC, CTV and Global. and, at the invitation of a tough-minded editor of the old school, I taught journalism to working journalists in Hong Kong. And I spend much time checking out news sources all over the world.
there's no doubt the western world press has gone way downhill over the last thirty years in terms of ethics and honesty - and that includes even the New York Times, The Globe and, of course, the gutter National Post. But the Irving papers of New Brunswick are the worst I have ever seen. The only honest and intelligent news services in English that I know of are The Guardian, CBC (NOT the BBC), Haaretz from Israel and, sometimes, Al Jazeera.
And, Mandella, the intelligence service doesn't waste much time on terrorists. It's real job is to report on people who don't agree with the government or with big business, especially on issues of oil and shale gas. Gotta watch them there 'preverts' who call themselves environmentalists.
