On January 24, 2000 Straight Goods (http://www.straightgoods.com) goes into daily publication. Straight Goods is Canada's on-line watchdog-- bringing you citizen journalism and protecting your interests daily. It's a consumer and citizen watchdog dedicated to saving you money, protecting your rights and untangling official spin. We believe education, child and family issues are critical for a watchdog publication like ours . We’ll be following these issues constantly. Our inaugural issue, for instance, features a personal and moving story by Pam Fitzgerald whose son is a recent victim of schoolyard violence. Her story shows that schoolyard violence is up, but many Canadian schools are either unwilling or unable do anything about it due to severe central funding cutbacks, such as those experienced in Ontario. Fitzgerald writes about this growing and disturbing trend in detail and offers tips on how to respond in ways that help everybody involved. Every day, Straight Goods will carry new Web journalism from working journalists across Canada. Every day, they present the goods on things that matter to you and your family - your money, health and health care, the environment, consumer products and services, public services, media, and much more. Please visit www.straightgoods.com every day and make it your homepage. Straight Goods will grow in strength as the number of visitors to our site builds. Please pass this message to anyone who may be interested. Please let me know if you do not wish to receive any more messages like this or if you have received more than one copy. We'll gladly remove you from our lists.
