The AngajukKâk of Nain was on Labrador Morning this AM handling questions about happenings here in the spring and things that are planed for the summer.
At the end of the questioning it was asked what the AngajukKâk thought of Minister Trevor Tailor’s contribution in the series “the Road Ahead”.
There was silence, some clearing of the throat, some hesitant words along the lines of not being very encouraged by the Ministers presentation. Then it ended with the words in the heading, very profound words indeed.
I am sure there are many anecdotal complaints on marine shipping and transport in general into Labrador and the North coast. But if the Minister would take the time to look back at minutes and notes taken at previous meetings with officials and previous ministers of his department I am sure he would have no difficulty amassing a large file of written evidence of the dissatisfaction's people have up here.
Nunastiaq News has a good piece [again] on the food by mail consultants report and some responses to it.
You can count the words on one hand that contain Nunatsiavut and Labrador in the report, well perhaps two hands. You can read it here. If nothing else read the recommendations section.
There is a flight of fantasy here from a CP media guy, IMO any configuration that eliminates CP from the equation would be a good one.
It is discouraging that Labrador continues with this status quo wall of silence. Amongst all the players the only real voice out there is the manager of BigLand here in Nain. I understand some what the medias frustrations with the wall of silence, but I am sure more could be done to put something together of substance.
We had a couple of nice sunny days agfer the long weekend, the snow is cutting away around town, the councils big cat did a cut along our road leaving almost a snow free middle of the road.
With that came the first of many clean ups [personal] of debris and garbage. I have noticed thousands of pieces of plastic bags ground into the gravel or sitting in water and or mud, beside the whole plastic bags that is. That was predictable given the happenings over the winter.

I've found the ubiquitous "NIH" ( Not Invented Here) holds some sway with the ruling mossbacks in the provincial and federal gubberments. Gawd forbid some other country invent a useful implement or device that could be so adept at plying it's way in our Bigland. And have mercy on the poor soul who suggests modifying or changing some infrastructure or policy even one minutiae increment; to accommodate it. Sparks and smoke will surely utter forth; in company of much consternation and harrying.
