The Yarmouth-Bar Harbor Ferry

In the 1830�s, Halifax was a thriving commercial and industrial city,
which carried on a brisk trade with such US Atlantic Seaboard centers
as: Boston, New York, Baltimore, Norfolk, Charleston, Savannah,
Jacksonville and Miami. The winter crossing from Halifax to these
markets was perilous. Many men and ships were lost.

At that time, a group of Halifax businessmen formulated a project to
build a railway line from their city, to the town of Yarmouth, in
south west Nova Scotia. The idea was to unload the trains into ferries
and take the safe route across to Bar Harbor, Maine. From there, their
industrial production could travel by carriage or rail, to their
traditional markets.

The success of this endeavor prompted these same men to propose
building rail lines into NB, to the head of the Woods Island ferry to
PEI and to the ferry head at North Sydney, so as to connect up with
NFLD. In their wake, the politicians climbed on the bandwagon and
proposed a political union of these four Atlantic Societies. To this
end, the Atlantic Union Conference was held in Charlottetown, in 1866.

Not long ago, King Chretien and his Upper & Lower Canadian lackeys
announced that they were discontinuing the Yarmouth-Bar Harbor ferry.
During the 1930�s & 40�s, Canadian history books showed pictures of
Upper & Lower Canada locked in a close huddle, while they delivered
mule kicks to Nova Scotia. During the 50�a & 60�s, the history books
showed Upper & Lower Canada milking a cow together, which was shitting
on Nova Scotia. Why have Upper & Lower Canada again spit on Nova
Scotia?

Do King Chretien and his gang of hermaphrodites want to:
a)  further throttle the Nova Scotia economy by cutting off the
lucrative summer tourist trade from the eastern United States?
b)  pay New Brunswick, with the US summer tourist trade, for electing
their chief to the Commons?
c)  punish Nova Scotians  for their lady MP, who followed the
teachings of Deuteronomy and The Corinthians and consequently voted
against their fee-fee legislation?
d)   deprive Nova Scotians of all contact with Americans?

How long is this going to go on? How long are Nova Scotians going to
be yoked by this alien word, �Canadian�, which is being forced on them
by the St. Lawrence Valley?  It is so obvious that this association
with Upper and Lower Canada has not worked out.

Nova Scotians should immediate demand and obtain a right of veto, so
that they can block all federal legislation that is nefarious to them.
They should demand and obtain control of immigration, so that they can
impose a visa on Upper and Lower Canadians wanting to come into their
territory. Additionally, they should demand and obtain control of
their international affairs, so that they can begin negotiations with
their neighbors and once again take up their rightful place among the
New England states.

Nova Scotians must be in a political union with their friends, their
cousins and with the home land of their ancestors, in stead of being
ground into the dirt,  under the twin heels of Upper & Lower Canada.
