Blog Watching, Week Ending December 8, 2013

Included in the countdown, we will provide links to the articles in question, offering up with one click of the mouse, those items of the week that you may have missed.

This week, issues of  LNG development, the North Coast Fishery, the Enbridge pipeline and the Potash industry grabbed attention as did the success of a young former Haida Gwaii resident, Dylan Collins who is now Oxford bound.
