> it was always a bullshit union of convenience convenience and plundering. nova scotia was well set-up in the mid-1800s. most of the province's trade was with the new england states. 90% of nova scotians voted against confederation, but we were forced into anyway. nothing remarkable about that. massive tariffs were imposed to discourage any further trade with the us, and nova scotia hit the skids from that time onward. the small independent businesses went out of business and the big boys from upper canada came down and started setting up their factories to hire the dispossessed former small business owners for pennies on the dollar. canada can't implode fast enough for me. nothing remarkable about what was done in 1867 except the will of an entire region was ignored and its people steamrolled over. death to canada! let it rot. we didn't ask for it and we didn't want it. american tanks can't roll fast enough into ottawa, as far as i'm concerned.
