Lonesome, Nova Scotia brought responsible government and freedom of the press to the British North American colonies, which then included what became part of the United States. We've fallen a long way from abuse of our natural resources. In Days of Sail of ocean commerce, one Nova Scotia port had as much tonnage under registry as the Republic of France. We used to provide more leaders to the country per capita than any other part of the country, still have more institutions of higher learning, including the two leading undergraduate schools; the third a few miles across the border in New Brunwick. It is a pleasant place to live. A hunting and fishing paradise, no elbow-to-elbow on salmon and trout streams and lakes. Come up and I'll show you around.
