Moncton.net was once Greater Moncton's online hotspot for advertising and forum activity, but as of late Moncton.net has become a hotbed of controversy as it's owners and members have come to a standstill in how to deal with spammers.

Spammers are individuals who sign up on a Forum for the sole purpose of wreaking havoc or posting links to websites which are questionable.

This is the case with Moncton.net but the facts as given paint a very grim picture for the owners of Moncton.net as they have lost the majority of their members approximately one month ago.

Vote for Bay of Funday in New 7 Wonders of Nature contest‏

Bay of Fundy gets another crack in 'wonders' contest

2009 06 30

Claire Ryan

Telegraph-Journal, Saint John, New Brunswick

In the spirit of Canada Day, people across New Brunswick and throughout the Maritimes are being encouraged to parlay their patriotism into a show of support for the Bay of Fundy, Atlantic Canada's newly reinstated contender in the New 7 Wonders of Nature contest.

The contest is being run by the New 7 Wonders Foundation, a Zurich-based non-profit organization established in 2001 to contribute to the protection of the world's human-built and natural heritage and to foster respect for cultural diversity. During the first round of voting, the Bay of Fundy lost by a slight margin to Alberta's Dinosaur Provincial Park, which was later removed from the contest because it did not meet participation requirements. The Dinosaur Park's loss was the Bay of Fundy's gain, and the bay now has the opportunity to be voted through to the next round contest, wherein the top 77 sites will be selected.

Canadian Tire fires gas station worker for stopping crook

Canadian Crime News, National:

2009 06 07

ctvbc.ca

A Kelowna gas station attendant is in hot water with his employer - for stopping a thief from making off with the store's merchandise.

Canadian Tire gas bar employee Roddy Fuhr says when a man using a stolen credit card tried to make off with an armful of cigarettes, lottery tickets and snacks, he couldn't help but jump to action.

Fuhr turned on the magnetic door locks, trapping the suspect in the store. He told a female customer to lock herself in the washroom, and kept the suspect there until the police arrived.

The man was arrested, and the store lost nothing. But when the owner called him, Fuhr discovered that stopping crime doesn't pay.

Fuhr was fired.

Rural tax payers on hook for 'dog constable?'

Rural residents take pride in their self-sufficiency. If the power goes out you have to man your own sump pump, and if an unknown dog is hanging out in your yard you have to call your neighbours to find out where it belongs.
