Deep-sea port at Kimmirut instead?

The Harper government should get their priorities straight and look at a deep-sea port near Kimmirut as called for in the Bathurst Mandate.

The Nunavut government and NTI must talk to Stephen Harper and guide him to the right road before they mistakenly build a port, along with a bunch of disruptive military personnel in Iqaluit.

A deep-sea port near Kimmirut is sensible because the boat-shipping season would be significantly longer and therefore reducing the costs of our overpriced goods.

Why Iqaluit? Because Harper thinks that’s a great spot for a port or because Iqaluit says they want one?

Some people are being very greedy and they want most of the seal meat (pie) for themselves. It is and was customary for Inuit to share a seal and-or any other wild game, perhaps for our very survival. If unsure about our customary sharing tradition, check with the IQ people and they will tell you. Everything doesn’t need to be in Iqaluit and they have to learn to share for the good of Nunavut.

What do you want? A real deep-sea port with a road to Kimmirut and Iqaluit? Or a port and another road to nowhere!

So far, Mr. Harper seems to be on some road to nowhere finding his way in an Arctic whiteout and the Nunavut government, with NTI’s help, should guide his government to the Bathurst road. Nunavut has to be reformed the right way.
