My Little Corner of Canada

JOHN AMAGOALIK

People will get tired of talking about El Nino.

The Government of Canada, the Government of Newfoundland, and the Labrador Inuit Association will sign an agreement-in-principle for a land treaty.

The French will have to prove that they are not buddy-buddy with war criminals in Bosnia.

The debate over the Newfoundland seal hunt will have comical dimensions.

The chair of the Baffin Health Board will have to move to the Baffin.

The Keewatin Health Board will get a new chair.

The Nunavut Teachers’ Association wili begin to act more independently.

Zebedee Nungak and Lucien Bouchard will meet and have very frank discussions.

There will be more pressure on Jean Charest to jump to the Quebec Liberal Party and replace Daniel (Gomer Pyle) Johnson.

Lucien Bouchard will not call a referendum. Jean Chretien will continue to baffle his opponents and remain popular.

Jane Stewart will represent a new attitude towards aboriginal peoples.

Ethel Blondin will get a promotion.

First Air will raise air fares and freight rates.

No one in the west will be able to think of a better name than Bob.

And the predictions which I take much more seriously than the above are as follows:

The final four fighting for the Stanley Cup will be the Detroit Red Wings, Colorado Avalanche, New Jersey Devils, and the Philadelphia Flyers.

The final will be between the Flyers and the Avalanche. The Avalanche will win the Cup in six games. Peter Forsberg and Patrick Roy will make the difference. The dark horse could be the Dallas Stars.
