Blog Watching, week ending May 3, 2015

Over the last six days, those stopping by the blog pushed a range of topics to the top of our listings for the week.

Among the notes of interest, the latest Developments from City Council and a major story out of the Provincial courts.

As well, concerns over coast guard services and the nature of CBC radio service to the North Coast also attracted a large audience.

And even though it only was posted on Saturday, our review of a billion dollar proposal for Lax Kw'alaams related to possible support for LNG development for Lelu Island quickly attracted a large audience, one which continued to grow overnight.

However, leading off the review for the week just passed, the status of a missing session from the City's Council Video archive page.
