  1. #Mining companies taking resources from #SubArctic and #Arctic regions in #Canada are #corporateWelfare bums who don't pay their bills, expect public bailouts and leave #toxic messes behind. When will #nwtpoli and #cdnpoli finally stop these abuses? cbc.ca/news/canada/north/ekati

  2. #Yellowknife's recent 4 hour power outage at -25C was initially blamed on #ravens (as power outages tend to be in the #subArctic). But this time it wasn't the fault of this smart #corvid.

  3. In #Yellowknife #NWT #Canada, people, animals, land and water have to live with the toxic Giant Mine and perpetually care for 230,000 tonnes of toxic arsenic trioxide. This project asks for people to join us in witnessing this monster's life.

  4. “The reason we were able to see that, much more clearly than for other #wildlife, is that #beavers build ponds using dams. They construct these ponds that you can see from space and satellite imagery,” cabinradio.ca/266494/video/wat

  5. The northern #BorealForest is burning after yet another summer of #drought. The #NWT in the #subArctic has had two community evacuation orders in as many days. Fort Providence on the shores of the mighty Mackenzie River in recent years sheltered so many #climaterefugees especially from #Yellowknife now are climate refugees themselves. cbc.ca/news/canada/north/fort-

  6. Northern people love #harvesting #berries. We love it so much that we tell stories, make art, write books, and complete academic studies about picking berries. Here's the latest contribution to our love for berries. gov.nt.ca/ecc/sites/ecc/files/

  7. #Yellowknife is a multi-cultural community in #Canada's #SubArctic and has a growing South Asian community. These irresponsible guys just blew a huge hole in community relationships in their celebration of #guns and #gunculture in a part of the world where guns are used for subsistence hunting only. cabinradio.ca/253088/news/yell

  8. “As we get warmer #water with less ice cover, you’re more likely to extend the growing season so there’s more opportunity for these cyanobacteria to grow,” even in an inland ocean like Great Slave Lake. cabinradio.ca/249051/news/envi

  9. The #municipalgovernment in #Yellowknife in the #subArctic has no vision and no willingness to use policy and taxation tools to require owners of vacant lots to construct affordable #housing. Instead it wants to gobble up green space and make the city unlivable. cbc.ca/news/canada/north/yello
