Justine Williamson wants to know...
Cape Breton as it's own province Pros/Cons, Go!
Justine Williamson would like your thoughts.
Below are some comments from people already to help start the conversation in the comment section below.
"Transfer payments that are not kept by Halifax for their own personal use. We are owed maybe tens if not hundreds of millions that Nova Scotia has not fairly distributed to Cape Breton. That money would turn that island around with investments in many areas to facilitate job growth and infrastructure!"
" Biggest con.. not enough industry to support growth. Retail and restaurants do not create a viable economy."
"There are so many legal battles surrounding this. 1) the illegal annexation of CBI into NS before confederation and 2) the unjust equalization payments. Each of these play into the separation plan."
"PRO - Can control your own immigration program"
"Cape Breton has a separate history and culture to NS. Cape Breton priorities (new job growth, healthcare, managing decline) are different then NS priorities (Halifax). I would love to see us become a separate province."
"There are so many legal battles surrounding this. 1) the illegal annexation of CBI into NS before confederation and 2) the unjust equalization payments. Each of these play into the separation plan."
