BURLINGTON, ON

 

Remember her? When she was just a citizen Marianne Meed Ward delegated frequently. What happened – was she just padding a resume ? And look at the number of people in the Council Chamber.

From a dedicated reader:

If you have had enough of COB’s engagement record, it may be time for the real Engaged Citizens of Burlington to join together en masse for an engagement sit-in at a COB council meeting?

Just show up, SIT THERE, SAY NOTHING, AND DO NOTHING.

Why?

Speech is silver, silence is golden.

Where is ECoB when you need them ?

Speaking of engaged citizens, the Gazette uses a number of analytics to learn where are readers come from, what they read when they are at the Gazette and where they go when they have finished reading.  How many articles have they read and how many times habve they visited the newspaper ?

We ave no idea who the reader is – just that they read the Gazette.

Some of the data:

 

This reader has visited the Gazette 2605 times – the data for this visit whow what was being read.

This reader is close to their 4000th visit Somewhere in the data there is a reader who has read the Gazette more than 8000 times
