You're the media. OK should attend too! (-OBT)

Update on different subject:

Here is a pod cast of interview with the President and also the former Minister of Health of Nunatsiavut.

I don't know who is telling the truth [if articulation counts there is no contest] but I do think that the former minister is closer to the truth than the president. I say this from experience and from observing the behavior of NG and the former LIA over many years.

I would add that if NG does not have any warnings to the former minister in writing then they are in big doo doo. You have to follow due proccess, and one of the rules of a democracy is due diligence and openness and accountability, sadly lacking within NG.

While on the subject of bat poo; Fran and I came across these bats while walking through the gardens back in July last year. I did not believe the signs warning of bats, [flying foxes] but lo and behold they were there, quite amazing in the middle of a city that size.

For one CBC HV-GB are short staffed, not sure about OK yet, and as to me being media, poor excuse in absence of any alternative.
