unless you be in Labrador, and especially if you be of the small community of Norman Bay in Southern Labrador.
CBC Labrador Morning had an interview with one of the citizens of Norman Bay this morning, it was a chuckle but at the same time sad. There was no podcast of the interview at time of posting, hopefully it will be up later. Updated link to interview with George Andrews of Norman Bay.
Mr . Andrews was also interviewd on On the Go, CBC's afternoon show.
For 16 years the folks there have been trying to get provincial and federal governments to take seriously Norman Bay’s plea for a road connection to Charlottetown that happens to be connected to the Trans Labrador [cow path] Highway.
So fed up with all of the buck passing and such and in frustration the folks have written a letter to President Obama of the US of A in the hopes he can become involved some way.
If that does not work then Putin of Russia then Brown of Great Britain will be next to received letters from the good folks of Norman Bay.

Hello friends, Giant left Postville early this morning bound for Hopedale, if weather cooperates he should be in Hopedale on Monday. I had a call from Hopedale saying the walk on ice should be very good, hard packed. Giant will like it and should be faster. I would like to thank Ron Pilgrim(Postville)Randy Edmunds(Makkovik )and Clarence Vincent, Hopedale for letting Michel Giant Andrew using their cabins as sleep over places. Thanks so much.Hopedale ,it's your turn, have fun.Alex
