For the year-end post, you’ll have to wait until Friday to find out what the readers picked as their favourite stories of 2010.
For today, here’s another view. Your humble e-scribbler has picked one Bond Papers post or topic from each month as a reminder of the year’s events. I f you take the time to wander back through the archives, you’ll find all sorts of things from the UFO story that ran among last winter to a couple of posts on education. There are also posts on the fishery that got some public attention – h/t to CBC’s Fisheries Broadcast.
So much more happened in the province than people seem to remember and the stuff they do remember is often not the most important things.
In any event, here’s the Year in Review:
January: Spending scandal: when “facts” aren’t true
February: Three on one topic: Deep Throat, Deep T’roat and Deep Throats
March: The Fragile Economy: staying the course
April: Jon Lien: mensch
May: The search for meaning challenge – yet more unfounded news media claims.
June: Roger Fitzgerald’s bias – the House of Assembly is at the point where partisan bias openly displayed by the Speaker is now commonplace.
July: Calamity Kathy’s story doesn’t add up. The local media are already praising her political genius. Here’s another example of how short their memories are or how low are their standards.
August: Good to the last fish
September: The politicisation of public emergencies
October: Breasts: they’re not just for gawking at
November: Reversing the entrepreneurial drive
December: How to win without news media – Part 2
