Will GNWT caribou motion succeed?
The territorial government has filed a motion with the NWT Supreme Court, asking it to rule on its authority to manage wildlife in the territory. Environment Minister Michael Miltenberger issued a blanket ban on all hunting of the Bathurst caribou herd – including the aboriginal hunt – Jan. 1.

New scam same as the old scam?
A woman was recently deceived by a fraudulent ad that appeared in Yellowknifer. The scam invited readers to send an e-mail, after which a $2,500 cheque was sent with instructions to cash it and send a large portion of it to another bank account through Western Union, and then keep the remainder as salary. The cheque bounced, of course. Scammers have been around for a long time. Is this latest one a sign they're getting more sophisticated, or is this just another variation of an old ruse?

Would bridge money be better spent on diamond ice road?
The price tag on the Deh Cho Bridge is now at $181 million, and likely climbing. Now the government is pushing for a hydro expansion project to the diamond mines from the Taltson River. Would all this money have been better spent if it had been used to construct all-weather roads to the diamond mines instead?

Copyright © since 1996 Northern News Services Ltd. All rights reserved
Established in 1945, News/North covered the 61 communities comprising the Northwest Territories, a 1,400.000 square mile region north of the 60th parallel. The region made up the present Northwest Territories, plus the area which, in April 1999, became the new territory of Nunavut. Since then, News/North has evolved into two separate publications, each serving its respective territory. In addition, the Yellowknifer, Deh Cho Drum, Inuvik Drum and Kivalliq News serve regional interests in both territories.
