As proprietor, manager and sole correspondent of Ku’ku’kwes News, Maureen Googoo begins the day by distributing her most recent scoops about Canada’s native networks.

This isn’t the very thing that Canada’s administration conceived when it passed the Web-based News Act last June. The law guaranteed “decency in the Canadian computerized news commercial center”.
