Hey fans of ‘North of North’!

To celebrate the announcement of the show’s renewal for season two, CBC has put together a compilation of season one’s funniest moments.

CBCWe collected North of North's funniest moments from Season 1 (you're welcome) | CBC TelevisionFull of love, laughter and authenticity, this breakout series will be back for Season 2 on CBC Gem

Nanuraq Uttak won the #NunavutQuest traditional dog team race. Just under 41 hours of mushing from Pond Inlet to Iglulik #Nunavut. Nanuraq is still in his 20s and this was his second year racing. He's from Iglulik but lived here in Arctic Bay for a while. A really cool kid.

This is likely my favourite photo from last year's race. Nanuraq is at the back in the blue jacket, behind his team. His dad and a younger brother flank the team. My son is named after Nanuraq's grandfather.

Arctic sovereignty overshadowing everyday issues in federal election for some Nunavummiut
While federal party leaders have been focusing on Arctic sovereignty in the lead up to the federal election, some Nunavut residents say it has been overshadowing more urgent issues.

From Alex Usher for people in the network of @NunavutBirder "As an aside here, I would really love it if someone from Nunavut could write an explainer about the politics of the national Inuit organization trying to start a post-secondary institution that will almost certainly overlap with and duplicate programming at the already mind-bogglingly expensive, territorially-controlled Nunavut Arctic College. Please and thank you." #nunavut #inuit #canPol

Das Auftauen des #Permafrosts setzt in der #Arktis giftige Stoffe frei, darunter #Methylquecksilber, das sich über die #Nahrungskette in #Fisch und #Wildtieren anreichert.

Besonders betroffen sind indigene Gemeinschaften in #Grönland und #Nunavut, für die etwa #Robbenfleisch ein zentrales Nahrungsmittel ist.

Le Monde · The invisible poison threatening Arctic communitiesBy Juliette Pavy
I've voted in Canada's federal election already. Advanced polls are open this long weekend, including Monday!

Go vote if you can, and tell your friends, colleagues, and family to vote too. We're facing a well-funded Conservative party backed by the alt-right that is pushing an agenda of gutting public services to enrich private industry, attacking science and academics, and holding in contempt the rights and freedoms and dignity of all. We need to hold the line.

Get out there any vote!
