Along with civics and how to be a responsible citizen maybe schools should also teach the history of private enterprise and how to survive in a world where you have to make your own jobs?
Actually, we need a new bank. Scotiabank hasn't been a maritime bank for like 100 years or something. It's based in Toronto. There used to be several and also several trust companies based here as well. So we need to create something along the lines of a bank or a "Caisse Populare" for Nova Scotia. Accessible, local and invested in the various industries and properties we have here and not preoccupied with spreading its octopus arms globally.
I think the CUA operations would argue that's them, but they don't get much love all things considered. You are right for sure. If we were serious about growing the region we would start with growing regional banks.
Excellent article!

What a great article.
So much common sense. If only we had a government that followed this road.
So many resources that are shipped out of here and we as Nova Scotians are not taking advantage of them.
