Atlantic Canada is only a basket case because of the Canadian federalist society...they'd thrive in the US with all their resources and without the endless corporate welfare...they are right now pawns of the federal government in Canada.

I guess you missed the official signing between the Provinces out east and the Feds that now allow the Provinces to have much more control and increase tax wealth over their new found oil and gas wealth .....

That's recent news - this is what it has been like for decades. The ACOA spending continues as well...
