Yes they have quotas here as well but it's no where near as bad as the Territorial govt's hiring rules.

You're lucky. We only have one left here in the NWT. At least I know who I'm voting for.

The mines aren't run by the govt and aren't under the same hiring rules. If they were there wouldn't be more Newfies here than Newfoundland!!

Out here the mines are one of the biggest employers. They pay very well and treat their employees like gold. Excellent compensation for working on site, health and retirement plans etc. Most in camp positions are 2 weeks in 2 weeks out. 7 days a week/12 hours a day. Of course you get a 2 week vacation every month which isn't that bad. Lots of families here with a parent working 2 in 2 out in the mines.

Only the good Japanese stuff.

2 years ago the average yearly salary in Yellowknife was $97,000 according to the local news outlets.

Nice hair though!!!!

$260!!! DAYUM!!! That's a lot of cake!!!

I got this nice one in that spot!!!

Yeah, that doesn't do squat for me.

HMMMMMMMMM, I think she looks less like your grand pa and more like the South end of a North bound moose!!!

Makes no difference to me. Makes it dark on the way into work. That's about it.

I want one of these RC planes.

I've seen what happens when airplane floats find rocks. It's not pretty!!!!

Yeah, the kid is awesome!!! Was fun to watch.

Actually #4 is not a wasted vote if enough people have the courage to do it. It will send a strong message to the top parties when they see that they all lost votes to an under dog. I plan to vote for the only alternative to the big three as I would hate myself if I voted Blue, Red or Orange in this election. Send a message Cliff and vote for one of the under dogs in your area!!!

Obviously you are not watching the games properly. Sounds like there is a lack off booze involved here!!! I managed to watch the whole game but it took a few extra drinks!!!!

No kidding EH!!! What a buffoon!!!!

A batch of pics from last nights show in Yellowknife. It was a pretty good show. I even captured a couple of meteorites from the Draconid meteor shower. I really need to get out to the lake one of these nights. If they're this good in town they have to be spectacular in the bush!!

Have you ever been fishing from shore or the pier and the fish were just out of casting range? Seems there is a little trick to getting that extra distance. http://www.theonlinefisherman.com/how-to/the-amazing-fantastical-bait-cannon

HEY!!!! KESSEL is leading the PENs in +/-!!!! He has 0!!!!

I have a Garrison Heavy Duty LED flash light that was inexpensive and has performed really well now for years. I bought it @ CT but I see it is no longer available. They do have a new model with 3 watt LED which if as good as the old 1 watt one I have would be an excellent investment. http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/garrison-3w-cree-flashlight-0650059p.html#.VhfgVBFViko

A tarp with magnets @ the corners to hold it down. Remove before driving. Or, just wax the snot out of the roof to help protect it.
