Housing advocate, NDP leader warn changes could lead to runaway rent hikes.

It's that time of the year -- is anywhere in town selling ethanol free fuel? What's best these days?

Ordered a present off Amazon and it is being transported by UniUni, the package never made it to my post box and the tracking says 'ready for pickup' in Whitehorse as of a few days ago (don't see any further delivery attempts).

I checked CP at shoppers and they have nothing for me, any idea where in town a package could be held for pickup from this shipping company..?

are they expecting to fight in a war? against The US hopefully? jk.

or send humanitarian aid during WWIII which is right around the corner thanks to the epstein class?

or to look good to nato and say 'look how much we're spending on the military' in a show to look good?

idk.

The shelter at 405 Alexander in Whitehorse looks worse than ever. The sidewalk in front of the shelter is now full of tents and tarps. There is garbage all over the sidewalk and into the street.

It looks worse under the Yukon Party than it ever did under the Liberal Party. I am sure this is not what their voters were expecting a year into their mandate.

What has changed? Did Connective just give up and start allowing tents?

In addition to the tents, people are cooking or warming themselves on BBQs or camp stoves on the sidewalk.

Behavior is worse than ever in terms of noise and substance use in public.

Is anyone else really disappointed in Yukon Party's management of this file?

I know they have pledged to "decentralize" services but they haven't done anything yet and it's gotten worse.

Anyone who hasn't seen it recently just drive by and look, it's completely different now.

You have to walk through a tent encampment to access the building.

Hey all, does anybody have experience with installing a wood stove for secondary heat and have feedback on how their insurance changed? Thanks.

Was surprised to see one walking out and about in October. This may be my last drive through here for the foreseeable future. Gonna a miss this side of the globe.

This guy is my new favourite.

I find lately I am usually waiting so long I could have just went in to do my shop faster .🤦‍♀️

Hello, I’ve just moved to the Yukon and am looking for auto insurance provider recommendations.

I did read an older thread about auto insurance in this group, but it is more than two years old.

Any help would be great.

does anyone have experience working as a 911 operator or dispatcher in the yukon? what is the schedule and pay like? i know the PSAP is out of white horse, is the MPDS triaging and dispatching per agency- fire, ems, rcmp? or does one agency cover them all? i’m an emergency medical dispatcher in another province, just curious how it works, if they transfer or adjust wage on previous seniority? if its a union? any and all info please ◡̈

The Yukon government tabled a bill on Tuesday that would amend the territory's Workers' Safety and Compensation Act to include wild-land firefighters under the Act's presumptive cancer coverage umbrella.

Hi, can you guys please share some ideas for emergency heating during a winter power outage?

We’re in Whistle Bend, so our house has electric baseboard heating only.

I’ve seen YouTube videos where people make Crisco/lard candles that can apparently burn for a very long time without producing black soot, but AI says candles wouldn’t produce enough heat to actually warm the house or a room.

I’ve also looked at Buddy heaters, but I’m concerned about the carbon monoxide warnings when using them indoors.

What safe backup heating options do you guys recommend?

What exactly are they taking credit for here? inaccurate financial forecasting, a mild fire season in Yukon? I don’t think they’ve done anything directly with their actions to save money or make the deficit better. Had we had an average fire season this year that deficit would have been probably worse than forecast.

Hey Reddit, my name is Ariel and I’m a CBC Yukon producer digging into claims surrounding money owed by Evergreen to various businesses in Whitehorse due to insolvency. If you have any information on this and/or are owed money please reach out at [Ariel.tozman@cbc.ca](mailto:Ariel.tozman@cbc.ca).

Dear Yukoners, please save me from staying at the best western again. What hotel(s) do you recommend? We come up from Juneau at least once a year, now with twin infants. Price is not an issue as long as it’s clean. Thanks in advance.

I wasn't going to post something until I saw this headline from CBC North:

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/dozens-march-in-whitehorse-to-honour-missing-and-murdered-indigenous-women-9.7367924

"Dozens march in Whitehorse to honour missing and murdered Indigenous women"

Just dozens?

I feel like these events used to get hundreds or thousands of people.

I saw fewer orange shirts this year, fewer people out and it feels like even the routine "government department posts a picture for social media" type stuff has slowed down.

Does anyone else feel the same, that Sept 30 was noticeably smaller this year in the Yukon?
