Affirming Nova Scotia! There are many ways that the Province could engage in an affirmation strategy, without antagonizing other jurisdictions. One of these would be to highlight boarders with the outside. The most prominent boarder points are Crossings or Ports of Entry. A policy of border affirmation would impress upon those arriving, that they were entering Nova Scotia. The best way to impress this fact would be to make the entry a proactive interaction, somewhat like that, which occurs between tourists and immigration at boarder crossings between Canada & the US. Setting up Agriculture Inspection Stations at crossings with NB, PEI and Nfld. would be an ideal way of affirming the boarder. It would simply involve several lanes with kiosks straddling them, from which Agricultural Inspection Officers could ask a few summary questions like, "Are you carrying any animal, vegetable or fruit products with you? and then saying "Welcome to Nova Scotia!" when the questions were completed. Agriculture inspection would be the prime mover for establishing these visible boarder crossings; however, they could be expanded sometime in the future to include checks for terrorists or drugs. The State of California set up Agriculture Inspection Stations on all highways coming in from Oregon, Nevada and Arizona a number of years ago. Today their vocation has expanded well beyond that humble beginning. Wishing you all the Best! J. Lewin
