Blog Watching, Week Ending June 8, 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 on LNG development topped our top five listings, with words of caution sounded from the national media on the ambitious plans of the province when it comes to its LNG blue print.

Also proving popular over the last seven days, was our look at the announcement of the City's plans for proposed LNG Terminal development in Tuck Inlet.

A review of the LRB ruling regarding the ongoing Teacher's dispute also found a wide audience from the readers of the blog this week.

An item from late in the week quickly gained attention, as we outlined the nature of a Public Warning from the RCMP regarding an incident on the Rushbrook Trail and a recommendation not to travel on it at this time.

The top five listings wraps up with a look at the recent success and accolades for Tsimshian artist Kelli Clifton.

Kicking off the review, LNG, and some cautionary words.
