It's Already Been a Year

I was just looking at my blog and I just realized that my blog has had it's first birthday. It happened on the 9th of January, but I just realized it today. I didn't really start posting until January 14, but I did create the blog on the 9th. I know this has absolutely nothing to do with anything, but I just decided to post this little bit of information.

Also, while I am here, I am going to let everyone know that I am going to start using this blog for more of my random rants as opposed to being a political blog. Since I created United Liberals, I am going to focus my political blogging there. I will be doing some political posts here, but they will be in my traditional uncouth fashion with a lot of f-bombs. My articulate side will be on United Liberals and I urge everyone to bookmark this site as we will be doing a lot of posts and it will become the next big political blog. If you do it now, you can say you were a reader of the blog before it was cool and before we all sold out for the all mighty dollar. It also has an e-mail subscription so you can read what we have posted the very next day while checking your e-mail. You can read about us while pretending to work. How cool is that!!!

Anyways, I am getting tired now and it is my last day of vacation so I am going to play a little PS3 and then go to bed.

*The New United Liberals Blog*

**More in depth details can be found here. Any comments should be posted on the original posting here as this post will be deleted and reposted to get it back onto the Liblogs Blog Roll. Also, the blog will officially be online on January 15, 2007. We are trying to get it on Liblogs/Progressive bloggers blog rolls and I am trying to get the CBC news roll on there as well. Unfortunetly, it was declined.**

After watching the Liberal Leadership Convention and the calls for unity, I have decided to make a very ambitious undertaking. (Hopefully) with the help of the other Liberal Bloggers, I want to spearhead a new United Liberals Blog designed to be one voice for the blogging community. My goal is to have 25 Liberals from across Canada from various cities and hopefully even some Liberal MP's so we can spread the message of a new Canada with new ideas and a new Prime Minister. If you are interested in participating in this new united blog, please e-mail me at unitedliberals@gmail.com. I have a few choices for bloggers or blogs from certain areas which I will post with the area that they are from. They will be in quotations as possible, if they confirm that they are on board with this idea, then they will be placed in brackets beside the city. The cities I want representation from are as follows:

***And then there were Eight, Rob Edger is now an official Saskatchewan blogger, Dave Monroe is now the official Northwest Territories blogger, Ruth Ellis Haworth is now an official Ontario blogger, Audacious Ontology is now an official British Columbia blogger, Sebastian Jodion is now an official Quebec blogger, Darren McEwan is now an official Ontario Blogger for the new United Liberals Blog, and Scott Robarts now an official British Columbia blogger***

**Update, I have decided to change the format of the contributors of the blog. It will now be based on provinces and not cities. See below for the values for each province. People in brackets are confirmed, quotations are for people I wish to have.**

British Columbia
1.(Scott Robarts)
2.(Audacious Ontology)

Alberta
3. (Me)
4. “Calgary Grit”
5.

Saskatchewan
6.
7. (Rob Edger)

Quebec

16. "Fuddle Duddle"
17.

Prince Edward Island
18.

Nova Scotia
19.

New Brunswick
20.

Newfoundland
21.

Nunavut
22.

Northwest Territories
23. (Dave Monroe)

Yukon
24.

International
25.

Alternates that I don't know where they are from: Warren Kinsella, A Canadian Leaf, Scott Feschuk.

Now, there are still some bloggers I want to contribute, but I don't know exactly where they live, so they may conflict with my choices. The people I posted up top are my first choices for those areas/cities but you are still welcome to put your name in the hat for those areas if they decline. As I said, this is a very ambitious undertaking and the contributions by the bloggers I stated, will definitely help bring a strong voice to the blog and get people to listen to the Liberal message.

I also want to get Liberal MP's, both current and former to be a part of this blog as well. As this will be a major Liberal Blog, having their voices will help them reach the common people and in some cases show a softer, more natural side of them. If any Liberal MP wants to be a part of this blog, send me an e-mail at unitedliberals@gmail.com using your parliamentary e-mail address. This way, we can make sure that you are who you say you are and we don't have people posting using your name and tarnishing your image.

Once somebody accepts the invite, they will be involved in the selection process as well. Once you are in, you get to decide who else gets in...if you are number 25, then you don't get to use that decision until somebody drops out and we go on the hunt to replace them. We will try to make this completely bilingual and hopefully, we can find a person who knows something about html scripting so we can have a pretty site as well. If all goes well, we will consider a petition to become the first full time Liberal Blog. This will also be a group decision with a majority rules vote.

I hope this interests a lot of you people out there as this can potentially be the biggest thing to hit Canadian politics since my blog.....or something that actually has had an impact on politics. Once again, if anyone is interested in joining this blog, please e-mail me at unitedliberals@gmail.com and we will all join together to bring a strong United Liberal voice to Canadians.

Thank You,

Milan Maligec
