Over half of eligible voters exercised their right to vote.
Note official but close enough results are: Voter turnout 520. Yes votes 204. No votes 318.
The answer is a resounding NO.
So now to move on and deal with the underlying problems in an intelligent and rational manner.
We can only hope that Nunatsiavut Government can overcome it's reluctance to become involved with this issue and now become pro active.
The misnomer that the tragedies of the last several months is caused by the availability of alcohol in the community has to be put aside. Get to the core issues, no easy task but why was Nunatsiavut formed in the first place but to foster a better life and opportunities for INUIT, this goes beyond employment and investment opportunities.
NG is a government now, be nice if it started to act like one. Well OK, not like the provincial one but one that uses democracy and caring as it's core values and be willing to deal with the social problems that all, not only Nunatsiavut, have.
Pictures of cloud berries or bakeapples baking in the sun, some good.
That was a hot one boy, 28.8 at the house and it is still 19 this morning, the cooling front will be welcome by most.

WOW that is really hot for your part of the world.
So bakeapples and cloudberries are the same thing? I love bakeapple jam.
So what's the next move with the alcohol question?
Next move is an unknown, there is an ordinary council meeting tonight, maybe something will come out of that.
the bakeapples here were not that plentiful this year. we had no snow last winter and an old wives tale always said,no snow,no bakeapples. I think I'm starting to believe it.
