There is a black bear whose time is numbered, depending on the authorities hunting skills that is.

Sunday evening saw it down on the dock of all places. A bunch of kids were harassed [or the other way around] until the bear was chased off along the shore. Late last night it was on a back porch of a house about 300 meters from our home. The clock is ticking.

Came upon a neat business while checking out northern bloggers. I shop 4 you seem to be filling a void, not to mention giving people the opportunity in minimizing using Nunavut based retailers.

Boy do we need something like that in Labrador. In the past I made a habit of using local business for a lot of our dry goods and fresh fruits and vegetables. Not so now, I am feed up with the negative attitude and disdain the two larger retailers have for the residence of this town..

Any opportunity to avoid using them would be welcome. So if any enterprising folk want to set up a similar business in the Lake Melville area let me know.

Why could the Nunatsiavut Government not become involved in something like this too? A joint venture or run it themselves on a cost recovery basis or small profit.
It is not like the precedence has not been set. NG is in partnership in a pharmacy in HV-GB. This allows anyone in the area to avail of lower cost drugs and over the counter items.

So why not do something for the people in Nunatsiavut, the people who contribute to the NG tax base. The NG beneficiary population may be larger in the HV-GB area, but they contribute 0 dollars to NG tax base.
