I was shot down by the Charlottetown Guardian
This is a true story. No names have been changed.
I was barred from the Guardian yesterday. Was it a technical glitch or purposeful move by the Guardian to stiffle free speech?
It started about 9 AM when I commented on Rock concert costs taxpayers $400,000. I was about the 25th of eventually 51 comments.
I briefly pointed out that we had scooped the Guardian on this story 3 weeks before Myrtle Jenkins Smith on her way to first $1 million, October 25th, 2008.
A tipster pointed us to the link on the government website that disclosed Smith was one of two partners in the firm that promoted the Alanis Morissette concert. She was also the one to benefit personally from the $300,000 loan write off by Minister Docherty.
We state without equivocation we love all our tipsters, like all good reporters do. You could be a secret tipster too if you have some good dirt.

Brooke MacMillan, liberal appointee hand in the cookie jar more than once
The former deputy minister responsible for the Provincial Nomination Program admitted that he received immigrant money through this program after questions were raised Friday by the Opposition leader about his involvement.
Brooke MacMillan was appointed deputy minister for the Department of Innovation and Advanced Learning under minister Richard Brown when the Liberals took power in June 2007. He was shifted out of the department and appointed head of the P.E.I. Liquor Control Commission last August.
