While my long term YouTube subscribers know that I grew up in Whitehorse, Yukon in the 70's, I was very troubled a few years ago when the #1 YouTube video online was of a drunken aboriginal. This was not an appropriate way to depict my childhood home to the global online world on many levels:  it presented indigenous people in a very negative light and it was a poor representation of a great northern city.  So I offered the mayor a free video production to highlight her city (all expenses paid for by me: everything!).  They were not interested. Race relations of this type are something that is a wee bit taboo for some elected officials in the Yukon it seems. I thought it was shameful and over the months after that I did throw up many videos that turned the tide on that shameful video that is no longer the #1 video highlighting the Yukon. 

Just my thoughts on something that few people want to talk about.

And I did get a parking spot and make it into Murdock's.

Keep your wheels on the ground folks!
