Time change will hurt everyone

By NUNATSIAQ NEWS

The change of time zones is supposed to encourage east-west business. But all businesses rely on north-south connections for materials. Let’s not mess this up more.

Got last week’s paper? (Nunatsiaq News, September 10, 1999) Frank Pearce’s idea is to shift some working hours. That’s better. Better yet, let us continue to fit in with silaqjaurmi, with all the rest of the world.

To encourage visitors may be the biggest potential for Nunavut’s economy. Confusion and annoyance turn people off.

Must we wait until MLAs and their children miss plane connections to Disneyland? Then it will be too late to go back to normal.

Please speak up, people, to your MLAs by free local fax or by telephone.

This change can hurt everyone. It can be dangerous if there are mistakes about weather warnings or tide schedules.

MLAs and cabinet ministers: There is still time to stop this. Be brave.
