Vote Compass: Dependence on oil needs to be reduced, most voters say
A shade of green emerged in some of the results of Vote Compass, which collected answers from more than 4,000 respondents about issues in the Feb. 13 provincial election. That said, many voters still see a future for an industry that has been key for delivering billions in government revenues.

The Newfoundland and Labrador New Democratic Party is promising to do a better job of vetting potential candidates in light of controversial tweets by two candidates in this year s campaign.
Andrew Lovell, the party s candidate for Conception Bay South, used derogatory anti-gay language in tweets several years ago in tweets to friends.
Lovell wrote, Faggot!!! and Have a couple beer cooled off for me dick licker, in August 2012.
In August 2013, he wrote, Comin at you fags! First couple rounds might be an auto draft then flatout dick jokes! The online publication True North first reported about Andrew Lovell s homophobic tweets.

Karen Batchelor Peters from Ankeny, Iowa posted photos on her Facebook page showing a massive snowman her family built. As you can see from the post, the beast measured 15 feet tall. That was tall enough to catch the attention of KCCI who shared a picture of the monstrous creation.
If you re wondering just how they made a snowman this big, it appears that they used ladders to reach as the snowman got taller. The family, and even some friends, took part in helping construct the giant. You can see some pictures and video of different points throughout the building process in the post below.
