Meanwhile life in Nunatsiavut speedily heads

for the precipice of the middle 20th century.

Yesterday our MHA reported that he was informed that the mv Sir Robert Bond was “gearing up’ to take freight from Lewisport to Nain and Natuashish.

CBC asked CIA-Nunatsiavut if this was the case, CAI said that was the first they had heard of it.


The MHA is now saying that he is being told there ‘could be complications’ with that.

Meanwhile the Astron has made it into Makkovik, unloading containers and freight sitting around the dock in -16 to 20 degree wind chills. 


Then this morning I called the company that was due to install the oil tanks on the coast under the oil tank replacement program of NL government.

A company representative said that they are no longer interested in the contract as ‘complications’ arose in dealings with government.

Lots more on the go but it is getting too ridicules for words.

Meanwhile our elected NG officials will be getting handsome pay increases, yet can’t find the wherewithal to even make a public statement as we head towards the abyss.

President, ministers, speaker, AngajukKaks will be getting 65,400. Plus 36,000 indemnity for President then decreases down to 7,500 as lowest indemnity.
Then there are travel and other perks.

Base Salary* Indemnity
President 65,400 36,000
First Minister 65,400 25,000
Ministers / Speaker 65,400 15,000
Deputy Speaker 65,400 7,500
Ordinary Members 65,400
AngajukKak 65,400
Chairs of Inuit Community Corporation 65,400
