Are you offended?
According to officials in Sydney, Australia, you might be by Santa's trademark greeting.

Little by little, Christmas keeps getting ruined every year, doesn't it?
-people don't say Merry Christmas anymore
-no candy @ the parade of lights
-no more Ho, ho, ho??
Is Santa going to be banned because he's a poor role model in terms of healthy body image or something? This world is out of control!
We have to band together and save Christmas!!! Are you with me?
I was watching the Mayor's Roundtable on Violence on Eastlink during the show today. There were a lot of people speaking like Deputy Police Chief Chris MacNeil and Stephen Kimber. The focus groups were outlining their reports today. Even though everyone slams the Mayor for too much talking, I think a lot of really important information was presented - let's just hope some concrete action comes of it and it doesn't just sit there collecting dust. During the lunch break, they were showing all the councillors' contact information ad nauseum and I discovered something new: Hendsbee's online! Check out his website:

My fave: Late summer sunset...somewhere in District 3.... and he's an Aries! Seriously though, his Communiques are very informative. Good job, councillor!
The Ernie Fage trial is underway - here's a link to a story about it on the Daily News website:

I really thought he would plead it out, but it's going ahead. In fact, Rodenhiser can't come in tomorrow because he's covering the trial. A little dishy so far, eh?
So, I've decided to change careers. Please tell me you'll patronize Amber's Convenience Store! I mean, not like I'll need the money with all my retail lottery wins!! Over the past 4 years, there have been 29 wins over 25-thouand dollars and 7 of those were won by the same retailer. Now that's lucky. I'm not buying any more lottery tickets until Michelle Carinci steps down. The head of the B-C Lottery Corp. stepped down for similar allegations. Ridiculous.
Hey.....Celine Dion tickets go on sale November 24th! I'm just putting that in the blog today for the whopping 1 person who responded to last week's poll about Celine and clicked on the "I'm sooooo excited" option! I do think it's great that a star of her stature is coming. She was on Oprah on Monday and she is a great singer, no doubt. I'm just being selfish, hoping someone I like comes, like Elton John or Justin Timberlake (despite the fact Rick will make fun of me - he's very talented!!) Actually, I'd take the Eagles over all of them so we won't have to hear Rick massacre Eagles songs on the air. See, that's how much I care about you, the Hotline listener!
I know some people might hate me for this, but I really want to leave this Brian Mulroney thing alone. Estimates of 30 million dollars for this inquiry? We already hate Brian Mulroney, is it possible to hate him more? Even if he's clean as a whistle, it's not going to improve his reputation with Canadians, so let's just let it die! I'd rather take 30 million dollars worth of tax cuts. Let's move on! Fun Brian fact: I'm reading his book right now (which contains exactly 0 mentions of Karlheinz Schreiber) and turns out in 1959 Brian Mulroney was hired to read commercials on....wait for it....CJCH.
Have a great Thursday!

Hi there Amber....Yourrrrr lookin good.
I never got to hear the show today although I was talking toa friend of mine from Middle River CB, Lillian MacLeod informed me she was on the show for a while talking about Crowdis Mtn and the sewage lagoon.
The Dept. of Environment out of Sydney and Halifax have messed up this project for the word"getgo"...Right now they want to just bury the contaminated soild still left there. Back in the 60-70s according to the regulations of the day, their practice back then and beyond was to bury everything. Same as the Tar Ponds and other environmental disasters in CB and NS. But as they put it " that was the practice of the day"
So right now , in 2007, government departments such as the DOE &DNR are still using the practices of yesterday as the practice of today.
Its sad and scary what government departments are allowed to get away with ; as they allow the breaking of regulations and laws , that they themselves are to enforce according to the Environment Act.
They themselves are breaking the law by not enforcing the law.
Its NOT concerned watchdog citizens like Lillian MacLeod that are breaking any laws by trying to prevent these crimes against the environment and ecology. Its the people we elect to represent us such as MLAs amd MPs ,that become puppetts to the 'puppett masters" the "beaurcrats" and 'Big business".
We have killed our oceans and now we allow the governments of the day to detroy the planet, all in the name of 'economic development".
Something seriously wrong with this pic.
And folks please do not forget to get out and join concerned groups in your neighbourhood on Wed. Nov 21st at 10 am as we send Rodney MacDonald's government the message of many concerns about the way they are allowing the environment to be destroyed by big business
check out the web site www.c-a-s-m.org for details.
just 15 mins of your time to show your concern about what is happening to the environment.
Talk to you tomorrow.
and don't forget to SMILE
Amber.
Good Evening.
In response to your comments today all I will say is this.
Some People are so concerned about being "P.C" the true meaning of Christmas has been long forgotten?
We beleive that you should be the best you can be. However at the end of the day it is difficult to be everything to everyone.
If it is like this now I ask you what will it be like in five or ten years from now?
It is truly unfortunate but for what it is worth Merry Christmas and Ho,Ho Ho!
Santa.
