Harking back to that young woman from Natuashish who was lost; her is a map [badly edited by me] I took from facebook showing where she was found in relation to Natuashish and the old village of Davis Inlet.
Natuashish is the arrow on left, Davis Inlet arrow to the right and center is where she was found.Nain is about 80 K from Natuashish off the map the upper left corner.
The much drawn out election comes to an end this Tuesday.
In the scheme of things it has been a short election, I guess the players make it seem longer, very boring with no charismatic leaders or candidates that I can see. Then again charismatic leaders do not always work out for the best do they?
In our riding of Torngat Mountains
Things on facebook seem to be ramping up with supporters being more pro active, with some being a little over zealous and misleading. Still it is good that things are getting out there.
One follow up from a post about transport on facebook was a hurried reply from the incumbent stating they had a promise from the Minister of transport that “the Dutch” would most definitely be replaced for next seasons shipping.
Believe that if you like. It has been 8 years for this government to do something about summer freight shipments. All we have is backwards steps. Sure there are new containers, but you have to have the freight shipped and arrive at its destination in a timely manner, this has not happened. And it is not all the fault of the operators of “the Dutch”. Department of transport have their fingers in the pie, as do other players.
Time for a real good look at the transport system from top to bottom including air, marine land.
One thing that needs assessing urgently is the volume of freight being flown in during summer months that normally would be shipped by marine. This only adds to consumer’s cost at the check out, yet no one in authority is asking why this is happening.
It must be a close race as the liberal and PC candidates are spending many days here in Nain, more than I can remember in any other election.

You would think the NDP would on the leading edge of the techy edge, but apparently not. I've subscribed to Lorraine Michael's Twitter feed but it is sporadic at best and usually only about travel plans ... sitting in an aiport stuff. She needs a good comm advisor. Hmmm, maybe I should apply! :-)
