Happy B day Nunavut
Haven't been there but still Hbd
Let’s hope sometime in the next 25 years Canada develops a coherent, intelligent arctic policy that enables Nunavut to reach its full potential. Been on minimal life support for the first 25.
Good luck with the government.
I sincerely hope that the gun ban hasn't affected your way of life too drastically.
51st State when?
