Trappers don't want to be left out in the cold - at least not without their new quick-kill traps.

As of January 1, 1995, an act by the European Economic Community will come into effect that bans the import of wild fur into Europe from any country that continues to use leghold traps or does not trap according to international humane standards. Currently 80 per cent of the wild fur trapped in Canada is exported to Europe.

A Northwest Territories cabinet minister has been fired after telling the legislation he attended a national conference and later admitted he did not go.

Municipal Affairs and Renewable Resources Minister Titus Allooloo handed in his resignation Nov. 22 at the request of Premier Nellie Cournoyea. The resignation caps a turbulent week for Allooloo, who had come under harsh criticism for dissolving the town council in Iqaluit and appointing an administrator to oversee the town's severe financial difficulties.

Harden Pruden never felt he fit in to his society. As a gay Aboriginal, he didn't fulfill any roles. In trying to find out more about himself though, Pruden discovered a Native history to which he would not only have fit into, but been welcomed.

He spoke to a full audience during the two-day Dreamcatchers Conference Nov. 12 and 13, held by Grant MacEwan Community College.

Pruden left home at 15 because he felt he wasn't wanted due to his differences.

He had always known he was gay. This though, he said, was not by choice.
