I don't claim to have the answers. I just know that moving all of the skilled workers into the good markets will result in large areas of unskilled poor people around the country. It may help those few individuals who can find work elsewhere, but this is certainly not the answer to Nova Scotia as a whole.

Well, perhaps the federal government should be looking at funding new industries in Nova Scotia rather than looking at new ways of funding itself. Just imagine what that $1 billion thrown away on the gun registry make-work program might have done if invested, not just in the maritimes, but throughout Canada?
At least Nova Scotia and Newfoundland do have their offshore oil now, so that is a start.
Either way, throwing even more of my money out east is not going to fix a damn thing.
