Is Dehcho and Tlicho mutually intelligible?

Upvotes

I am Dehcho, but born and raised in Ontario. I'm trying to learn Dehcho. I'm a big fan of Digawolf, and he sings in Tlicho. Anyways, i'm wondering how much of his Tlicho songs would I be able to understand if I know Dehcho?

Are there barely any single people in the NWT?

Upvotes

I'm not looking into dating anyone, despite how the title may come across. I'm just curious. My father came from the NWT to Ontario when he was in his teens. I am estranged from him. I'm just wondering if there many (if at all) single people up there? (Ontario has much more people than up there, so it is easier to find people to date, although i am autistic, so I find it difficult to talk to people in real life.)

Grocery prices Norman Wells

Upvotes

Hi everyone. I’m coming to Norman Wells for some work for 16 days. I’ll be in an accommodation where I cook for myself. I’m just wondering how to budget for groceries. I know groceries are expensive up north but I’m not sure how expensive.

I actually plan to pack snacks that I can buy at home.

Thanks so much. I’m really excited to get to be so far north.

Wanted: an old/retired NWT bear-shaped license plate

Upvotes

Hey folks I collect license plates as a hobby (based in Ontario) and the NWT bear-shaped plate is one I've always wanted an authentic one of. I know they show up on eBay from resellers but I was hoping to find one directly from someone up there who's got an old one sitting in a garage or shed after getting a new plate. I heard scrap yards sell them but not sure if they will ship it to me or be willing to sell one.

Any condition is totally fine it doesn't need to look pristine. Happy to pay cost plus shipping. No worries at all if nobody's got one, just figured you never know if you don't ask!

Thanks for reading 🐻‍❄️
