pope4: hahaha, no we don't like Toronto, however the drive to the city with the CN Tower will be shorter, and we love that place! But seriously we want Quebec to seperate so we don't have to fail French is high school anymore :P

Regulator75: quotas, they keep cutting the quotas of fish you can catch. This year there's been alot of protests back home (Cape Breton) regarding the crab fishery, to the point where they blocked the Newfoundland Ferry a couple of times (once for like 24 hours or so). Can you imagine taking a 10 hour ferry ride, only to be sitting in the harbour looking at the dock and not able to get there for a full 24 hours? I'd be flippin! Atleast block me where I can't see land.

Flashpoint: those that haven't switched over to shell fish (not that it's just as easy as saying I think I'll catch lobster now) are unemployed on EI, or welfare, or a pension of some sort. The industry is basically dead, and for Cape Breton steel and coal all went belly up as well.
