‘It's the dream’: Paramotoring school gets off the ground in Yukon

I met this young man and his family a few years back. They were here visiting from France, and were having fun parasailing from the top of the Dome in Dawson during the June 21st solstice. People were soaring and landing alongside the berm downtown, and Alexandre would fly them back up with his paramoter.

Federal agency touts operation of cybersecurity sensors across the North

This software deployment to all territorial government networks (NT, YK, and NU), by the federal gov't agency - Communications Security Establishment (CSE) - appears to be a heavy-handed reactionary approach by the feds; and it implies that the territorial IT departments are severely lacking in their abilities to protect data.

Just witnessed a vile attack on a dog

52ave and 106st. 20 minutes ago, two guys with a leashed dog on the sidewalk across from my apartment ... and I suddenly hear the dog yelp in pain. I look up to see one of the guys swing down hard and hit the dog in the head and the dog collapses to the sidewalk. I jumped up and yelled from my balcony and the two guys took off down the alley between 52 and 53 aves, then they cut across someone's yard and come out onto 52 ave and run down the alley beside the gas station and out onto 51st and they went east on 51st. The police were called, and just as they arrived the dog died. My neighbour and I talked with the officers, and a blanket was found to wrap that poor dog into and she (a medium sized dog with German Shepherd traits) was taken away in a squad car.

I'm shaking ... angry and sad and bewildered.
