Being that CivicScene is a one person operation, I have self-admittedly struggled to keep up with posting during the holidays, particularly with immediate family visiting from half way across the globe for a mere few weeks.
2010 will hopefully be the anecdote to that problem.
CivicScene will return in full force with a new regime of posts beginning on January 2, and a brand new set of expectations for additional lawsuit threats from fellow blogs, more insults from anonymous cowards, and a renewed vigour for covering municipal politics within Metro Vancouver and across Canada.
I wish all of you a very safe and Happy New Year.

Tough times for resource revenues have forced Alberta to revise its deficit forecast to $6.9 billion ($2.2 billion more than April’s budget predicted) just as BC’s shortfall of $3 billion has risen to six times the figure that was reported during the election.

New kid on the block CivicScene flashes its impressive wares; intimidated blogging counterparts hover in the background
Welcome to CivicScene’s inaugural post in what will hopefully be a long line of intelligent, balanced and interesting contributions to the municipal discourse.
CivicScene has emerged to provide a new perspective in the current Vancouver municipal blogging scene, which in our humble opinion, has been lacking when it comes to progressive voices.
In addition, over the coming days and weeks, additional contributors will be signing on to the CivicScene team, bringing forth fresh perspectives and ideas from cities across North America. Keep checking back for their profiles, which will continue to be added as details are finalized.
We are anxious to receive your opinions, suggestions and tips going forward, and hope that the debates can be kept civil and respectful. Comments will be moderated to avoid slander or attacks, but never to engineer censorship.
Thank you for reading.
