Blog Watching, Week ending May 18, 2014

As part of a weekly feature on the blog, every Sunday we offer up this weeks recap of the top five items viewed over the course of the last seven days.

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, items of provincial and municipal politics, education and LNG held spots in our top five items of review.

With our top item of the week being the the comments of Prince Rupert Mayor Jack Mussallem, who offered up some thoughts on the topic of provincial input on the theme of a shuttle bus for the isolated communities of Highway 16.

From there, the the discussion on LNG in Victoria claimed a spot, with Northwest MLA's seeking to engage the government in a larger discussion on the issue
