instead of Uggs, mukluk boots

I have no idea.

Here is a Canadian lawyer who lives in Iqualuit, capital city (town) for Nunavut on Baffin Island in the far Arctic on food pricing, both fair and gouging: http://sybaritica.me/2012/09/07/nuna...esee-papatsie/

(I like reading blogs of the lawyers who serve in legal aid for the locals in those communities....strong advocacy and passion for the locals and situation up there.)

One of the focuses of the Nutrition North Canada program is to get fresh and dried fruits and fresh and frozen vegetables to the isolated northern communities at lower costs for the consumer. Your first linked article talked about a lower cost for those things now in those areas so I assume it’s helping. Hopefully the corporate greed in the subsided program (more about it in your first link than this link) can be corrected and costs lowered even more for the people of those isolated areas.

I looked into the Iqaluit greenhouse and it seems to be a community effort with help from the Nunavut government and the Cold Climate Innovation program at Yukon College. That greenhouse has been around for 6 years now and so far has been replicated in two other communities.

Hopefully this all will mean more nutritious and varied meals with produce most of the year for the people in those isolated areas.
