Hey Currie, it’s time to rein in your ministers. Taxpayers are not impressed with the waste, the spin, or the refusal to deal seriously with their concerns. There is a growing sense that this government cares more about looking good than governing well, and that public money is being used to court support from select groups rather than serve the broader public interest.
Many people see this as little more than an attempt to buy votes before the next election. From the start, this government has alienated its conservative tax base by doing the opposite of what it promised. At the same time, it seems perfectly comfortable with the Liberal-leaning base, which makes the whole thing even more frustrating. People expected accountability, honesty, and common sense. Instead, they got disappointment.
Absolutely this is criminal I can see that some of the videos are being removed and no longer available there goes the evidence. I remember hunting with my wife in the middle of no wear and a helicopter landing to check our licenses. I definitely see the frustration. Yukon has been corrupt for a long time starting with some of the special draws. Time for the outfitters be investigated also hearing a lot of stories. Keep ratting them out yukontario it's the only real news we got

well it looks like they got away with it, two bulls down and the show went on. All sponsors got what they payed for, the specials guide himself profited big time. The biggest problem a lot of people are saying Conservation Officers are missing and the worst Wade Istchenko still hasn't responded to email regarding this illegal activity. So we can see that it looks like the government was involved in what we see as free Yukon publicity and pretty sure there was money or pay off involved. If this offends some too bad it's the opinion of everyone that followed this bullshit hunt.
This is a warning to our government you just set a very good precedents for every Yukon hunter to profit from Yukon hunting and planning for next years hunt, is finally going to be profitable for the Yukon hunters that need the money to live in this Territory. If it's good for them it's good for us
Just looked at all the video's and YouTube about all these people profiting off Yukon. When did this become legal? As a hunter this cannot be legal and to see that it has been going on since all the publicity is unbelievable. When I got out and sit quietly and here a truck door slam and "hello" we all know exactly what it is. hunt's over. I see what going on and I'm thinking the same as the others someone is bought off. I do see it on Facebook and all those assholes in Dawson with those monster trucks pretending there hunting it's a commercial hunt for sure. So if this is legal I got a new business Why because the money and free sponsors' equipment for free is the bonus if Yukon is that corrupted I want in. What a shame !

This Bullshit Tony Barriere a Non Resident hunter now has a grizzly bear hunting license this year after his video of him shooting a moose in a full speed boat. WTF is going on in Yukon as a resident hunter this is bullshit. There's a scam with a lot of people involved here I see corruption and possibly payoff this need to be investigated. where the hell is Hon. Wade Istchenko the minister of environment.

Dear editor
This is just a comment if it's ok. Maybe we should be asking does the Yukon employees union negotiating a new contract might involve C.O"s not doing there job?

Thanks Bill yes we do comments. You point is very interesting we never thought of that. Sounds like a legitimate question?

Thanks for exposing this abuse of Quebec hunters about what they are doing in our territory's most beautiful part of Canada and ruining it for everyone that hunts for food.
I am a long-time Yukon resident and hunter, and I am absolutely disgusted by what appears to be illegal hunting being allowed to continue in one of the most beautiful parts of our territory.
If ordinary hunters were caught doing this, there would be immediate enforcement, inspections, and penalties. Instead, it looks like some people may be getting a pass because of tourism, politics, or a cover-up. That is unacceptable.
Conservation Officers need to do their job. If there is a violation, it should be dealt with immediately and properly, not brushed off with warnings or “education” instead of real fines. Yukon hunters are constantly watched, stopped, and harassed, yet serious concerns like this seem to be ignored.
As a taxpayer, hunter, and Yukon resident, I will not stay silent about selective enforcement or corruption. The public deserves accountability, not excuses. If the law applies to everyone, then enforce it on everyone.keep up the good work.
I will withhold my name because of possible retaliations.
To the Editor/Website Owner,
It is deeply disappointing that you chose to publish content that demeans members of our community. By circulating these stories you undermine the collective effort we have worked to build and betray the trust that binds us. This is not journalism—it is sensationalism dressed up as news, and it causes real harm to real people.
You should reconsider your editorial standards immediately. Continuing to promote this kind of content will only erode whatever credibility you claim to have and further fracture a community that deserves better. I urge you to take responsibility and remove or correct these pieces, and to commit to reporting that informs rather than damages.
EDITORS RESPONSE
Thank you for sharing your opinion anonymously — it clearly reveals your discomfort with viewpoints that challenge the status quo. If your instinct is to silence dissenting voices because they expose dissatisfaction with those in power, that is both cowardly and dangerous.
Freedom of speech is a fundamental right, not a privilege you get to grant or revoke based on comfort or convenience. You have no right to remove or suppress legitimate expression simply because it makes you or your allies uneasy. Attempts to censor discussion under the guise of “responsibility” or “standards” are thinly veiled efforts to preserve a narrow, self-serving narrative.
If you believe criticisms are misguided, counter them with facts and reasoned argument — not deletion. The community deserves transparency and robust debate, not gatekeeping. Stop pretending editorial control gives you moral authority to silence others.
Sincerely, yukontario.com
ARE WE THAT STUPID?
Ok I got to say it were going to support Canada
If Yukon pulls American booze off the shelves, the question is simple: what happens to the stock taxpayers and retailers already paid for? In similar Canadian liquor boycotts, the product has usually been kept in storage, sold through other approved channels, or reserved until a policy change. In some provinces, remaining inventory has been sold off and the proceeds donated rather than wasted. It is not normally handed out to politicians, really!!!
So the real issue is accountability: if the goods were already purchased to earn a profit, then locking them away means the public eats the cost while the shelf space sits empty. If the goal is political theater, fine—but the inventory still has value, and someone should explain whether it will be stored, resold, donated, or written off as a loss. I personally don't fucking believe this in retail a shelve is real-estate to make money. Look it's a TDS personal problem not business. As a taxpayer maybe I don't like Yukon party does that give me the right to band anything party? Fuck no were not fucking children now fucking grow up. You fucking bozo's were loosing tax dollars we need, just sell the stock but don't order any more so were not invested. But what the fuck do I know I'm just a taxpayer for the Yukon government banks machine.
To Kate White and the Yukon NDP,
Enough you fucking hypocrite. Your silence since the election is not just disappointing, it’s an insult. We have reached out repeatedly about critical issues facing our territory and received nothing in return: no replies to emails, no engagement on our website, no accountability. That silence speaks louder than any promise.
You talk about standing up for people well I see you stepping on their necks, yet you spent years quietly supporting Liberal budgets and backdoor deals that left many Yukoners behind. Those “agreements” benefited your party’s position, and perhaps even individuals inside it, while the real problems continued to get band‑aids and soundbites. When a chance for real change came, you chose political convenience over courage.
Don’t mistake our anger for ignorance. We see what’s happening: a fucking political class that treats voters like props, they demand our trust, then sell us compromises, fuck you . The system is failing people because parties keep propping it up instead of fixing it. Throwing money at symptoms while protecting the structures that cause them is not leadership, it’s maintenance of the status quo. Stop bitching and get with program and start working to find solutions instead of fucking bad mouthing everyone because you wont get what you want.
Then you send out a fucking email boasting your dissatisfaction on what is happening to Yukon, fuck you it's your fault as well. In your campaign sign "you can count on Kate" my ass. You can count on Kate to fuck everyone just so you can pretend you care, as you climb the political ladder. You use words like Pride fuck you and your privilege victim card. You talk about climate action fuck you, How about all those fucking diesel generators you run for hydro that pollutes the shit out of the air in the winter, that turns Whitehorse into a industrial polluting town. All you fucking complain about is holly fuck hydro is expensive and we need subsidies. fuck, anymore you would want it for free.
Free fucking bus rides, free health care, free drugs etc.. How about you get off your fucking ass and help yourself. The world we live in is not free. I can guarantee if a fucking vote came up in the legislatture that that politician want a financial pay raise you would fucking vote yes in a New York minute. So now that I unleashed my personal opinion suck it up because I don't suck dick.
We are independent and unapologetically pro–free speech; we’re not bought, and we won’t be pacified. If you want our support, start by listening and stop fucking blaming others for something you were part of. Answer the emails. Show up publicly and explain how your past choices will lead to real solutions now. Stop hiding behind party lines and start taking responsibility. Stop trying to give everything for fucking free.
Until then, don’t be surprised when Yukoners speak plainly and loudly. We deserve better than politics as usual.
Fuck that felt good
Sincerely, The Dying Yukon
Yukon Party Government hands out heating rebates to help winter electricity demand meanwhile Whistle Bend has Christmas light competition.
When Yukon Party politicians living in Whistle Bend have no problem seeing or even participating in a Christmas light competition, when the rest of Yukon has to conserve electricity is now a two class system. I live in a rural community-based on the availability of electricity and trying to do my part in energy savings but I'm not sacrificing my time for the snobs in Whistle Bend to look good and enjoy the festivities while the rest of Yukon is struggling to make ends meet. The Yukon electricity is running about 92% capacity this year in the coldest winter in recent years. Now our famous government wants to reward the abusers. Why bother while our power shuts down often does the elite in Whistle Bend think about us? I've had countless conversations in my community that Whistle Bend is going to be a real big problem for everyone in Yukon as the special treatment they receive is starting to upset a lot of people.

Will Premier Dixon appease the New majority Liberals Government's tyrannical rules and regulations for Federal Funding
To the editor,
Many Yukoners voted for the Yukon Party believing in fiscal prudence and territorial autonomy. Recent developments like new firearms regulations and buyback proposals and internet censorship, paired with measures that could limit public discourse , suggest a troubling pivot. Instead of honoring campaign promises, the government appears to be leveraging policy changes to secure federal funding and relieve budget pressure. This undermines trust and betrays taxpayers who expected conservative stewardship. If the Yukon faces fiscal strain, the government should explain the situation transparently, present alternatives, and involve the public in decisions that affect fundamental rights and local control. Yukoners deserve clear accounting of negotiated terms with Ottawa and assurance that any federal assistance won’t come at the cost of our autonomy. We must demand accountability and protect the principles that motivated our votes.
My opinion while I still have one

Yukon Party's Federal Funding Negotiations
Current Financial Situation
The Yukon Party is actively seeking to increase the territory’s debt limit from $1.2 billion to $3 billion. This request is crucial for managing a record budget deficit of $81.8 million, the largest in Yukon’s history. The increase in the debt cap is necessary to ensure the territory can continue to fund essential services and infrastructure projects.
Reasons for the Request
Record Deficit: The Yukon government is facing significant financial challenges, with a budget that reflects a need for immediate fiscal adjustments. Essential Services: The increased debt limit would allow the government to maintain funding for critical services such as healthcare and energy infrastructure. Economic Growth: By securing additional funding, the Yukon Party aims to support economic development initiatives and improve the overall financial health of the territory. Implications of the Negotiations
Aspect Current Situation Proposed Change Debt Limit$1.2 billion Increase to $3 billion Budget Deficit$81.8 million Aim to eliminate by 2028-29Financial Health Maxed out credit capacity Ability to fund essential services Infrastructure Projects Limited funding available Enhanced capacity for development. The Yukon Party's negotiations with the federal government are critical for addressing these financial challenges and ensuring the territory can meet its obligations while planning for future growth. So it looks like the Yukon Government has no choice but to back track some of the campaign promises, in other words backstab the voters in forcing them to the Liberals tyrannical laws and control with all it's chains attached to our necks like the rest of broken Canada. Money always come with a sacrifice. yukontario.com
Editor's Response
I agree Richard , it's not just the Yukon government; it's also Whitehorse's mayor and council. Yukon itself is changing: the more people you attract, the more long-term residents will suffer or have a hard time adapting to the fast paste of big city life, something Yukon is not known for. For example, jobs are being handed to Ontario residents and our infrastructure are now collapsing. Just driving around town, it feels like "Toronto on steroids" with that attitude to match. Unfortunately, I see no recovery for the old Yukon. The government will definitely capitalize and get on board to profit from new developments and "improve" Yukon. Enjoy it now, like the old days of the gold rush it will only be a distant memory.
Does anybody remember "YUKON TIME"
The government in Yukon is showing signs of corruption that benefit interests across Canada while exploiting local residents. Politicians find it easier to mislead taxpayers and continue business as usual than to address the territory’s real needs. This exploitation harms Yukoners’ quality of life and widens inequality, as outside parties profit from local resources and opportunities. To fix this, Yukon's government must increase transparency, enforce stronger conflict-of-interest rules, and prioritize local voices in decisions about land, resources, and public services. Independent oversight, community-led consultations, and fair economic policies would restore trust and ensure prosperity benefits residents first. The problem is Yukon is starting to experience the level of being used to pushed an agenda that is not suitable for Yukon way of life.

Concerning development in Whitehorse — Whistle Bend as a privileged enclave
As a long-time Whitehorse resident, it's shameful that our mayor and council are prioritizing spending in Whistle Bend instead of addressing mounting municipal debt. This council is on a collision course: when the credit card is maxed out, you don't expand into a new subdivision that caters to luxury tastes.
Whistle Bend is shaping up as a privileged enclave while the rest of Whitehorse falls into disrepair. Investing in exclusive new housing and upscale amenities now risks deepening inequality, straining municipal finances, and leaving essential services and existing neighbourhoods neglected. Residents worry the area will become a gated community for the privileged, even as roads, infrastructure, and community supports elsewhere deteriorate.
Council should halt costly expansion plans and redirect resources to repair and maintain the city we already have, rather than betting our fiscal future on a development that benefits a few while burdening many.
concerned taxpayer
Whitehorse City Mayor and Council are on a spending spree with a maxed out credit card
Editors' Note
It's funny I had to install this picture as it will represent the new Whitehorse. Unfortunately it seem that municipal corporation think that money grows on trees. If Whistle Bend wants luxuries maybe it's time to raise taxes for that subdivision so the rest of Whitehorse can benefit and we all look fancy.
Great website — a must for British Columbia. After exploring it, I thought Yukon was the last place to see all the problems we face here in B.C., but clearly the grass isn’t always greener. Keep exposing and reporting. Keep up the excellent work.

Thanks Rick. Would be nice if our politicians would respond. But in reality when you open the doors to outsiders the bad comes with it. pretty sure there involved some how to get more federal moneys.
To whom it may concern,
I am writing as a resident of Whitehorse to express my serious concern regarding recent developments highlighted in a widely circulated video. The content of that video indicates a disturbing reordering of priorities at the national level, and I am seeing echoing signs of the same pattern here in the Yukon involving Kate White and the Yukon NDP.
I believe elected officials must prioritize policies that directly address the everyday needs of constituents: affordable housing, healthcare access, public safety, and economic stability. When attention shifts toward issues that appear disconnected from these basic responsibilities, public confidence in government erodes.
I respectfully urge local and territorial leaders to reassess current priorities, engage transparently with the public, and ensure policy decisions are grounded in practical outcomes that improve the lives of Yukoners.
Sincerely, Dan G. Whitehorse, Yukon

Thanks for your letter Ya it's pretty bad and to publicly display this type of behavior from the NDP national party is wild. Jack Layton is roiling in his grave right now. Let's not forget all taxpayers are paying for this .
We need a platform that publishes stories that matter to our community without censorship or gatekeeping. Local media too often ignore emails and fail to respond — leaving important issues unreported and residents unheard. This platform fills that gap by offering a reliable, responsive place to share timely, relevant news and community concerns.
We need transparency and diverse perspectives that reflect everyone in our community, not just a few voices. We need accountability and reporting that investigates issues that impact daily life, from local government decisions to neighborhood safety and public services.
We need this platform to keep amplifying overlooked stories, listening to community input, and holding institutions accountable. Please continue supporting and expanding it — our community depends on it.
