One of Canada's most important online news sources, NealeNews, is going offline, permanently:

Today is the last posting for Nealenews. After spending five hours a day, seven days a week for the past four years updating this site, I have reached the point where I no longer have the energy or desire to continue.

In an attempt to prolong the inevitable, I recently decided to cut back on the postings, including weekends, but news operates on a 24-hour cycle and rather than become irrelevant through neglect, I've decided to pull the plug.

I would like to thank all of you for supporting this site so enthusiastically and for the many emails you have sent encouraging me along the way.

NealeNews is important to me because Brian Neale was responsible for giving Angry in the Great White North its first boost of blogging notoriety. My run-in with CBC Radio Morning Show host Andy Barrie became the banner story for a Sunday afternoon back in March of 2005. From there the blog was noticed by the guys at the National Post, and I started to connect with people throughout Canada in media and government and business.

Thanks, Brian. I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for you. Best of luck with the future!
