Voting by candlelight
A blizzard has struck Tuktoyaktuk in the far, far north.
Really far north:
Located on the shores of the Arctic Ocean, at the uppermost edge of Canada, Tuktoyaktuk, or just Tuk as it is more commonly known, is a small Inuvialuit community and a unique travel destination. From dogsleds, to the Midnight Sun, Northern Lights and pingos, Tuk has much to offer the adventure tourist. Approximately 150 kilometres north of Inuvik, Tuk is accessible by plane or ice-road and is well worth the extra travel time. Whether visiting in the summer or winter, Tuk will offer travellers an adventure of a lifetime.
But they are struggling in, voting by flashlight and by candle.
Thanks to all the people of Tuktoyaktuk for showing us all how important and precious a vote is.

So it has begun.
I'm outside of Canada right now, but I've heard that the weather in Ottawa has been warmer than normal lately. However, I am of the opinion that come tomorrow, Paul Martin won't be around to blow any more hot air, and things will start to cool down.
The blizzard in Tuktoyaktuk is just a sign of things to come.

I heard it was so cold in Ottawa, the politicians had their hands in their OWN pockets!
