I am hopeful that they and others will continue to use this platform to address the many issues plaguing Newfoundland and Labrador. For my own part, however, after an exceptionally busy year working with the other Members of the Muskrat Falls Concerned Citizens Coalition while maintaining the Blog, I plan to post less frequently and, in particular, free myself from the self-imposed requirement to post every Monday morning.
Change continues to be necessary in the fiscal arena. Denial of this fact by the public and reckless partisanship on the part of the political leadership constitute the fuel thwarting measured change. An informed conversation around the perils of the status quo and the cost of "rate mitigation" remains an imperative.
As to the Uncle Gnarley Blog, the chief change that readers will notice will be found in the timing and frequency of the posts. Instead of slavishly adhering to a timeline, I will post when I feel compelled by the urgency of specific public policy or political issues — and when time permits — unless, of course, the work of other writers is available.
As always, when a new post is made, I will link it to my Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter pages. All readers are welcome to follow me on those platforms, and to friend or follow me on Facebook for easy notification when a new story — mine or another writer’s — is posted.
But, in case you’re wondering? I'm not going away. I'm just freeing up time to do other things.
Thanks for reading the Uncle Gnarley Blog.
