New blog & social network website

Hi everyone!

You may have noticed I haven't posted much here lately. I've started a new blog on a new social website I started for www.NorthCoastBCOnline.com

The new blog is located at NorthCoastBCOnline.ning.com. This new site allows visitors to interact even more with the ability to post photos, videos, music, blogs, start online discussion groups, post comments, and chat with other members. It's similar to a Facebook website - without as many of the add-ons. Registration is free for everyone. It's my hope to soon move "Best of the North Coast" reviews to this new social site.

Support Red Fridays

I was forwarded an email today that I had to check out. It's promoting "Red Fridays" - wearing a red shirt on Fridays to support our Canadian troops. It is a legitimate foundation - http://www.redfridays.ca/

We had been discussing around the office just a week or so ago, the fact that as Canadians we don't wear our patriotism on our sleeves like our American cousins. Why is that? Are we taught from a early age to not show our colours - sort of like "don't rock the boat"? Is our country really that bad that we're ashamed to say that we're Canadian when we're at home? When I went to Europe 8 years ago I was told to put a Cdn sticker on my luggage, so people would know I was Canadian rather than American. So when we're in Europe we're proud to show we're Canadian, but when we're at home it's silence?

Hmmm.... I'm going to start wearing a red shirt on Fridays. And I'm going to check Wal-Mart & Canadian Tire to see if I can find a flag. Can't put a flag on my car antenna as I don't have one...
