home heating oil and diesel [...] fly it in
60 loads of 10,000 litres [...] in huge bladders
Perhaps they could use a Sikorsky S-64 Skycrane which can carry 10,000 litres at a time. And requires no runway - just a clear space.

Helicopters run about twice as expensive to operate as fixed wing
planes when it come to freight. And there are no Skycranes resident
in this part of the world so we would have to pay for travel time
too. The military have Chinooks that would do the trick and the
Russians make a huge copter that has twice the payload capacity of
either of them. But I suspect the government will use small local
planes to do the job.
These sound good. I've never made one but I believe I will. The
baked versions sound better than the boiled ones.

I suppose that they have looked at the logisitcs/economics of a small pipeline. But we're talking about gummint here - and sometimes their bureaucraps are equipped with blinders.
170 g suet (shredded beef)
Errrrrrmmmmmm, isn't suet beef fat from the kidney area
(differentiating it from tallow)?

That wouldn't make sense in this case. Paulatuk is 300 miles away
from Inuvik and has less than 300 people. They are separated by
complete wilderness, the Arctic ocean and three massive mountainous peninsulas jutting out into it.

Just getting a poor quality gravel road 87 miles from Inuvik deep in
the river delta up to Tuktoyaktuk on the coast took two years and
cost $300M.
It's far cheaper to use seasonal ocean barges and about once a
century, an airlift.
Speaking of airlifts my BIL Matthew who used to operate heavy
equipment and work in construction, mining and exploration says he
once loaded a Russian MI-26 which is twice as big as a Skycrane or a Chinook, and so VERY impressive, when the Diavik diamond mine was
under construction. It was here from Russia for just two days and
then went onto another job in Texas.

Hard raw fat is called suet and rendered out fat is called tallow.
And yes the best suet is kidney suet. It's shreddable. This recipe specifies beef as opposed to sheep or lamb suet.

There must be some over-weening economic reason for Paulatuk's
continued existence.

Not really, not any more. 1000 years ago and up until 100 years ago
Inuit gathered there in the summer to go whaling and sealing and
retreated south into the treeline every winter. There was no
permanent settlement there until the 1920s when a fur trading post
was established. There was a tiny coal mine that the locals tapped
for a while, but that has now run out. In the 1950s there was a DEW
line radar station but that's obsolete now. There's no longer an
economic reason to stay but most people born there tend to stay
there.

No, they're not here.
Sriracha Ketchup
I make my own from Huy Fong Sriracha and French's Ketchup.
Red Gold Tex-Mex Petite Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies
We have Aylmer Accents which is pretty good. The original Aylmer
Canning Company started in the town of Aylmer in tomato country in southern Ontario but got swallowed up by Del Monte which has really bounced around in recent decades. It is, I think, part of Conagra
Canada and Conagra also owns Ro-Tel which is probably how Aylmer got
the recipe.

Not in YK? Fair enough. According to Red Gold's web pages they are
in Canada and the US.

Not really. They remain self sufficient from whaling, hunting,
fishing and trapping. And never complain about the high cost of
living due to their remoteness. They paid for their supplies and
their transportation but the barges didn't arrive, partly because
the barging company waited too long to start and didn't pay
attention to the unusual weather that has been going on since June.
(The government took over the private sector barging operation a
year ago. Decisions are now made by bureaucrats in Yellowknife
offices and not pilots on the tug boats and harbour masters at the destinations.)

I can't find them on the internet anywhere in Canada, including
their own find a location page.
