Polar bear hunting agreement
Canada, Greenland, and Nunavut want to come to an agreement about what the appropriate number of polar bears to hunt is.
There seems to be a dispute between local hunters and scientists about the exact number of bears in the region.
I'll follow up when an agreement is reached.

Halloween in Hudson Bay
Halloween is a little different in Hudson Bay, Manitoba. Trick or treaters have to worry about polar bear attacks while trick or treating. What's that? You don't believe me? Find out here.
Because the bears are restless this late in the season, they are predatory and dangerous. The town fortifies itself on Halloween to ensure that the kids will be safe. All of the entrances of the town are guarded by men with shot guns. Awesome.

Lynn Rodgers, you are my hero!

Interesting...how endangered are polar bears? Does the population need to be "managed" by hunters? Are we going to end up with another Paul McCartney seal hunt battle again?
Polar bears are pretty frickin cute. Have you seen them on Planet Earth?

They like minivans because they know that is where the children are.
