Motherhood and other topics.

OooooK, I'm ready to go back in there, view right to left.



We were some what hesitant about how Siutik would handle motherhood, being so young herself [my fault for dropping my guard] when jumped by her paramour there was room to be a little worried.

Any fears in that regard are out the window, she is an exemplary mother. Spends most of the day with the kids, feeding, cleaning, and sleeping. When hungry she rushes out to let us know. Same with bathroom breaks; rushes out to the back door and as usual waits in the porch to be hooked to the running tether.

Today she is starting to take more interest in what we are doing, keen ear on who comes to the door, wanted to come shopping with us this morning, stood at the window watching us walk down the street.
Most likely take her for a short walk later, it’s such an amazing day, -20 with not a cloud in the sky, then there has not been a cloud in the sky for some time. The difference today is hardly any wind. People at the stores are all dressed for -30 and lower wind chills, many including us were commenting on how warm it is.

On a more sensitive topic. There is nothing official that I have heard but rumblings are that the election for president of Nunatsiavut has been brought ahead from September, or was it October. Any way it looks like being some time in May now, perhaps around the 6th or 8th, those dates are just speculation by me.
Have not heard a peep as to why this would be, maybe something to do with the incumbent being asked to take a leave by the other government members, or some other rational is in play, I sure hope the people are informed soon, as usual information control down at the NG GQ is as tight as a fishes arse.

One thing I have been picking up from wide and varied sources is the need for a change at the top and not just president. The same old couple of mobs have been battling it out for control for way too long. There is an urgent need for some people with commitment to the aims and objectives of the people of Nunatsiavut, not the incompetent parochial self serving attitudes of past and present.

That should up the hit counter eh? But it is true, and one would hope more people will come out and talk about these things, and be free and comfortable in doing so. I understand why most are reluctant, but it is time some semblance of democracy and free speech was allowed to take its course.
