A PEEK AT THE NORTHERNMOST TOWN IN THE WORLD - Keys Weekly Newspapers

The first thing you notice in Ulukhaktok, NWT, is that everyone waves. Everyone. From passing ATVs. From trucks. From fishing boats and front yards. People wave at you and smile.

I’m on the ninth hole of Ulukhaktok Golf Course competing in the 40th Billy Joss Open and this raven has just stolen my ball. I normally wouldn’t mind (it’s a free drop for raven theft), but the same bird just stole my previous ball, too. Someone recently found a raven nest sporting 200 golf balls. I drop another red Callaway to the ground. Around me, the tundra is green and yellow and dotted with hundreds of purple flowers called saxifrage that the community turns into jams and teas. The afternoon light is a muted lavender and it’s so quiet you only hear golf shots. I try a low runner from 40 yards to the astroturf green, finishing just short.

While major policies must be approved by parliament, direct election gives the president greater political authority. The president leads the armed forces and can veto legislation, sign international treaties and appoint ambassadors. The election has also gained attention after a series of drone attacks on merchant ships off Bulgaria that likely killed about two dozen international seafarers.
