Nice to see the fog and drizzle back, Siutik may recover from her lethargy now that it is cooling down.
There are bear sightings around town again, early in the week one attached the cloths dryer vent at the side of one house and there was one minding its own business up the back of here on Nain Hill.
The humans are restless too, the warm weather maybe, or drugs and or booze. Early Monday morning there was a commotion at the back and side of our house. I thought maybe dogs or even a bear. No, it was Homo Sapiens in all its basic forms.
If the barstards want to play silly buggers with each other then I don’t know why they can’t do it near their own homes instead of interfering with others people’s space and peace.
The irony is that if Ursus Americanus behaved in a way that Homo Sapiens are they would be shot. I don't want them shot, just maybe injected with some common sense and respect for others.
Finely some news [all be it from the other side of the country] on the review of the Food Mail Program.
It would be great if any changes to be implemented could be put in place before the end of the summer shipping season but Government being what it is I won’t hand by the short and curlys waiting.
In one of the comments there was a link to this supplier in Quebec. To my mind that model would maybe work in Labrador through the Terrington Consumers Co Op.
At the moment I am not a strong advocate for any retail, wholesaler or shipper, I could even see my way to support the status quo if there was openness, transparency and accountability involved. Until there is I am not willing to contemplate the status quo.
Officials from INAC should make a visit to Nain before the marine shipping ends to do a base line study of what is in the stores at the moment then came back around February for a follow up.
The fresh foods departments have taken a nose dive in the variety and quility. The worst section is the frozen meats departments, it is pitiful to go in and see what is available.
I sure hope that we do not see a repeat of last year where the stores flew in untold amounts of frozen meats under the subsidy, the way things are going I suspect that is what the intentions are.

Why on earth do they not let the consumers place orders with wholesalers and ship on a bulk multi- customer basis? The current system seems a boon to freight services underwrote into food prices.
I've been researching starting an export/import business utilizing the SEUS/CP agreement and local trade incentives here and through the USA Oceans Task Force here in the states.
Really, though I'd like to explore opening up shipping to the entire North Coast, there is a serious lack of information involved. But something like it will have to be em placed if the North Coast will ever hope to have it's own local economies.
How many bright individuals have worthy business ideas there, with no way to market? Not in an economical basis anyway. There are government tools on both side to engage that sort of trade, but the discussion needs to happen to foster it.
