Happy Monday, or at least I hope you are having a good day. Sometimes I think that some posts get lost in the feed, and become buried down underneath more recent useless posts. So one thing I may do from time to time is try and dig up those old posts and see if we can’t get more conversation going.
Banning Cell Phones While Driving: I stated some points to ponder about the law, and Megan also has given some excellent points as to why it shouldn’t go through at the moment. Now it is your turn, are you for it or against?
Uptown Vs. Downtown Debate: Many stores over the years, and two just recently have moved to the uptown part of Yellowknife. What is your take on this. I tried to bring up the pros and cons of both but would love your say on the topic.
Yellowknife Food Prices: There has been good discussion about this already and many readers from down south commenting. How do you find the prices of Food in Yellowknife compared to else where?
And Finally.
Northern Airlines taking a hit: Seems as though our Northern Airlines are taking a hit with the arrival of Westjet and now Air Canada will be flying to Iqaluit. Some say competition is good, others will not give up supporting the north. What are your thoughts?
Please leave your thoughts on some of those posts and join in the discussion. Have a Good Week. If you ever want to leave me any feedback go over to the contact page or comment below.
I should probably make it clear that the reasons I gave in the cell-phone post are not my opinions about why we should not have a ban; they are simply some legitimate reasons I would accept from people who believe we should not have a ban. (You can see that some of them conflict with each other.)
“Most of my constituents do not have cell phones” is not on my list of legitimate reasons to be opposed to banning them.
Sorry Megan I didn’t mean to make it sound as if you were against it. Should have reworded it to say you pointed out why the government can’t go through with it at the moment.
Heh, not even that! I honestly don’t know whether the government can or can’t go through with it.
I’ll try to be clearer about what I was saying earlier: If someone told me that he didn’t support a ban because we already have legislation that covers distracted driving, I would accept that he made that decision after thinking through the issues. I would feel the same way if someone said that he supported a ban but thought that other things were higher priorities. I do not have the same confidence about the reasons that were given for voting against this motion.
Clear as mud, I know.
