The House? No the house.
I've decided to do a curling post in the hope that the Curling News links to me and I get to put up big numbers like the indomitable Townie Bastard. I went to the final game of the Canadian Mixed Curling Championships down here in Iqaluit, which I mostly spent distracting the said Townie Bastard…

I’m going to take my ball and go home.
I have to say that I am, um, disappointed in Paul Okalik. His decision not to let his name stand for a cabinet post after losing the Premiership to Eva Aariak smacks of nothing more than sour grapes (Tagak Curley also didn't let his name stand and the same goes for him, but truth be…

Congratulations Eva
Nunavut has a new Premier and she's from Arctic Bay! What's more, she's my daughter's daughter. I suppose I should explain that last statement, Hilary is named after the new Premier, Eva Aariak's mother – Kautaq. I'm tickled that I actually know one of Canada's Premiers, and consider her a friend. Heck I've had supper…

Okay, the other Arctic Bay bloggers were doing photos of the full moon.
So I figured I better jump on the band wagon. I had to be up at 3:00 am to get the moon in this position though. Time for bed.

Note to Iqaluit bloggers
I'll be down your way in a couple of days, I'll be there all next week teaching a course. Coffee anyone?

Each a story
You get some sense of the scale of the enormity of it all when you walk through the cemeteries of Northern France. Row after row of white headstones and crosses, or the black ones of the German Cemeteries, interspersed with the headstones with the Star of David on them, or the large section of Muslim…

With complete disregard (Part five)
Link to Part 1 J had a long history of dealing with the police, many of the incidents involved weapons. Shortly before I arrived in Arctic Bay, he showed up at the house of the Constable in the early morning hours, drunk, armed with a knife and a replica handgun. It was, in all probability,…

Nine am
The sky this morning at 9:00 am. A photography obsession to take over from the iceberg one.

Jayko
When I first arrived in Arctic Bay, one of the first people to go out of his way to make me feel welcome was Jayko Tunraq. He spoke very little English, and of course I spoke no Inuktitut, but with a few words he knew, and a lot of gestures, and a big smile, he…
