Tuesday is Inuktitut only day at CKOK.

A little impromptu video, no commentary: It is of K Naimee at the board and Maria reading the news.

Other goings on.

At the moment three candidates for President of Nunatsiavut have Facebook pages up. Not much dealings with the issues stuff, mainly fluff, but that’s what Facebook is all about.

Talking to folks around I get a real sense that change in approach and direction in government is desperately wanted. Also people want to be informed of what the candidate’s platform on day to day issues are. I have not heard/seen any of that to date.

Food security is one that comes to mind. Further to that we have not had any feed back from any level of government from previous meetings on the question; how much does the consumer benefit from the two levels of food freight subsidies.

I have not seen/heard anything from the candidates on the environment, how to better protect it, is it possible to introduce renewable energy into Nunatsiavut, what about those plastic bags eh?

Gas [petroleum] is 140.6 cents a liter on the North Coast at moment. There are some comparisons here of prices across the country, some out of date
Iqaluit has a price of 128.0 as of February 08. I think the government subsidizes fuel in Nunavut, but can be corrected.
There is a large discrepancy with what you get with the link here to what you get by going directly to the PUB of today's prices, seems we are paying less now than in 2005, you would think Bourque would have up to date information on his site.
