Is Y-Town Gonna be Like Nunavut?
“The Nunavut government is boosting the price of fuel to help prevent the territory from sinking deeper into deficit, Finance Minister David Simailak announced Tuesday.”
So are our fuel prices gonna be raised to fund for the new municipality building as well..?? in the future..?? The government is taking back $9million of the $10 million set aside for the proposed Nunavut heritage center, saying the government needs the money elsewhere.
Will Y-town face the same questioning..?? as to whether the town has taken on more projects than what it can handle? We are all very concerned about the $5 Million that will be spent on the new municipality building. As to where the money is coming from.. as to who was awarded the project..?? as to who will be paying for the new building..?? we all donch quite know what it is all about. Wouldn’t the tax payer of this town.. be interested to see some transparency in this matter..?? I would..!
But donch even get me started on it..! Arrrghhh..!! Aida..! what’s your take on the fuel prices..??
increase fuel price? well my view is on a tiny community but that probably is good cause it will make the locals WALK instead of using their quads around town and revving that thing up to high speed!
we do use fuel for heat though, but good thing is, in Nunavut, any increase in utility will not hurt in a huge way cause a lot of things are subsidized. if they take the subsidy away, then a lot of people will protest.
but the downside with increase fuel prices? arrggh, means more expensive flight tickets and general stuff will be more expensive as well esp groceries cause everything comes in here by plane unless its summer months.
honestly, a heritage centre? they have a few, but i dont know if they actually maintain it. with nunavut, a lot of things, they WANT to do and make but dont maintain it and then say need more money. its annoying cause its all taxpayers $$$$.
