Is there life on Mars?
Earth’s neighbor once had a climate conducive to life. Now scientists are trying to learn if the Red Planet turned those chances into reality.

Why Apollo 10 Stopped Just 47,000 Feet From the Moon
Soon we will recognize the 50th anniversary of the first humans to walk on the moon. We remember and celebrate the heroism of the Apollo 11 crew: the humility of Neil Armstrong making those first bootprints; the cool bravado of Buzz Aldrin during the critical moments of the Eagle lander’s final descent; and, the lonely vigil of Michael Collins in orbit above his mates, waiting to bring them back home. But we also need to celebrate the many pathfinders who made this historic mission possible.
Anchorage said ‘no’ to the alcohol tax. Now what?
On April 2, Anchorage voters were asked whether or not to amend the municipal charter and create a modest sales tax on alcoholic beverages. The votes are in, and the tax has failed. Had it passed, the revenue generated from the tax would have been dedicated to some of the most essential services in our city, including detox, behavioral health treatment, housing options, camp abatement, and public safety.
Legalization of recreational marijuana leaves employers in the weeds
While we hear a lot about the benefits of legalizing recreational marijuana — the business opportunities it provides, expungement of criminal records, where dispensaries will be located and the like — no one is talking about the human resource ramifications. Yes, decriminalizing recreational marijuana is a step forward in many ways, but there are holes in the legislation that leave lots of questions for businesses.
Meet our newsmaker of the year: the polar bear
So who’s Nunavut’s biggest newsmaker of 2018? This past year offers a predictable list of usual suspects. You could probably put together your own list of public office-holders and regional celebrities who, in 2018, managed to generate headlines and entertaining gossip. But for this year, we’re not choosing a person. For 2018, our newsmaker of the year designation goes to an entire species: the polar bear. To earn that, the humble polar bear didn’t have to do much of anything.

by Jim Bell — December 21, 2018 An asteroid passes by Earth in this NASA illustration. Credit: NASA This article originally appeared in the Dec. 17, 2018 issue of SpaceNews magazine. It is a sobering fact that for every one of the amazing deep space robotic missions carried out by NASA, ESA, JAXA and other space agencies, at least 10 others were proposed but never flown.

Another mandatory minimum flunks the Charter of Rights
A 30-year-old Rankin Inlet man with six children should not serve a three-year mandatory minimum prison sentence for firearm trafficking, Justice Earl Johnson ruled recently in a written judgment. That’s because the mandatory minimum sentence for the offence—when applied to the man’s circumstances—is unconstitutional, because it’s grossly disproportionate and breaches the Charter of Rights prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment, Johnson said.
By any other name, the ujarak’s just as sweet

It’s about nutrition, stupid
You have to feel just a little bit sorry—though not too sorry—for Northern Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc.

Prior to the defeat of Stephen Harper’s Conservatives in the October 2015 federal election, Liberal and NDP opposition members huffed and puffed about the NNC program every time they got close to a microphone.

After Pauloosie (PJ) Akeeagok takes his oath of office this January for the top job at the Qikiqtani Inuit Association, he’ll already know what to put at the top of his to-do list: reconnection with Qikiqtani region beneficiaries. “They want the president to talk about the key issues that QIA does, and more importantly, to hear the concerns from the people directly,” Akeeagok, 30, said Dec. 12 in an interview with Nunatsiaq News. “QIA is very disconnected now,” he said.

Nunavut government bungles attempt to collect property tax from Mary River
The Government of Nunavut continues to be thwarted in its attempt to impose property taxes on the fee simple lands that Baffinland Iron Mines Corp. leases from Qikiqtani Inuit Association for the Mary River mine.
