I've read about a Maritime Union, that was discussed about before confederation, and then later on afterwards, but all that came out of it was the conglomeration of certain boards, and commitees. Later on Newfoundland was included in alot of those, hence us now having the Council of Atlantic Premiers.
What I'm throwing on to here is what about a Unified Atlantic Province? I've been thinking alot about this, esspecially now living in New Brunswick. The world is shrinking, and in a country as big as ours, it kind of makes sense to consolidate our resources to make us more competetive.
The first problem that came to mind would be the capital. Most (or just NS) would say Halifax, others (or just NB) would say Moncton. As well any capital on the mainland would alientate both PEI and Nfld. What about a rotating Capital? It would change every leap year, in sync with the elections.
It's a possible idea, but is it plausable? It could mean big things for everybody on Canada's forgotten coast.
