My thoughts or opinions on some of the articles in Wednesdays April 15 Yellowknifer:
With all the hype in the paper this past week about Fishing Licenses I am amazed they missed one. One what? One location that also still sells Fishing Licenses. Everyone seems to be complain about how now only 2 government offices sell them and are only open 9-5 on weekdays as well as Co-op which also has select hours. Well I have news for you. Shell Gas Station located in a highly populated traffic area sells them too and oh guess what, they are open 24 hours of the day and all 7 days of a week. They even have a huge sign on there door with BOLD letters that says “We Sell Fishing Licenses” and they have always sold them. Last year I took upwards to 30 American Hunters there. No not all at once but when they came into Yellowknife late one night and left early the next morning it was the best (and only) place to go. So now you know.
Okay Mr. Dan Wong I will give you the fact you’re standing up for what you believe in and I by no means support the scholarship cuts but it has happen and yes it sucks. We need more positive thinking. I realize you can’t afford going to school for 6 years to but I have to ask if you are willing to spend that amount of time at school (using the government’s money, with no guarantee you will stay in the north) shouldn’t you be willing to take out a loan or line of credit to pay for it yourself. Once again I have to say that I believe if you want something and you want it bad enough you would be willing to do what it takes to achieve it. I’m sure you have an opinion on the matter, I want to know.
