Great piece by ⁦@RJSimpson_NWT⁩! He hits the nail on the head: Will we be a northern power, or a bystander in our own backyard? The North cannot simply be a region Canada defends—it must be a region Canada builds. ⁦@MiningNorth⁩ thehub.ca/2025/04/22/premier…

Huge Northern and Arctic sovereignty news here. Conservatives promise to build Grays Bay Road, build a Navy base in Churchill, new reserve unit in Whitehorse, upgrade Inuvik FOL to a full base plus a new fleet AWACS! Choice is clear for Northerners. conservative.ca/conservative…

Excellent news for the #NWT! It’ll be great for our territory to be represented by a @CPC_HQ MP and there are 2 excellent choices before our members.
Its official: we have our nominees! Best of luck to Kimberly Fairman and Jackie Jacobson. The North is very lucky to have such great members of the community working for the NWT 🤩

What a great start to our new Legislative Assembly! Bring home the common sense. Bravo.
Effective April 1, 2024, the carbon tax on diesel home heating fuel will be suspended in the NWT. We will continue to advocate for a carbon tax model that reflects the challenges faced by residents and businesses in the NWT. More: gov.nt.ca/en/newsroom/gnwt-a…

Hello #GNWT, why aren’t you posting upcoming press conferences on @GNWTNewsroom or @CabinetComms? Last one noted in either of those places was almost 2 weeks ago. I missed the one today because I was watching Session. Was the presser during a sitting? That seems odd.

👍 “there is no statutory basis for the CRTC to act in the manner it did, conjuring a gatekeeping role that protects incumbents at the expense of diversity and original programming.” #gatekeeper
We're hugely grateful to @LawsonLundell for taking our case regarding a Yellowknife FM licence pro bono. They were in touch with us almost immediately after the CRTC's decision was released and have worked incredibly hard to help us. For more details: cabinradio.fm/2023/03/23/cab…

This is critical, not just for the burden it can help take off doctors. Allow pharmacists to administer inoculations, and provide other treatments and you help free nurses up too. Check out Ontario: ocpinfo.com/practice-educati…
I have todays statement on giving Pharmacists prescription powers that exist in all provinces. This frees up significant doctor and emergency room time. Comparison of how far behind we are linked: pharmacists.ca/advocacy/scop…

This expansion of scope of service is also essential in maintaining a healthy pharma profession in #NWT Tough to attract quality grads when the #GNWT won’t let them do what they spent years training to do. Smh

Count the Northwest Territories in! Mineral resources north of 60 will play a critical part in the execution of this strategy. @MiningNorth @GNWT_ITI
“Building our domestic production capacity will strengthen both cross-border supply chains and our national security. It will also reduce our vulnerability to supply shortages in times of crises like COVID-19.” #cdnpoli
