Look at all the manufacturing and fishing jobs. The fisheries are trashed and manufacturing is in Asia.

Really? Guess it is all a matter of one's outlook on life. I was actually marveling at how much times change, but so much of what we were doing back in '49 was still being done and enjoyed today. Unless of course you were referring to the obvious - and routine for that time - 'whitewashing' of the population in NS during those times, as one might believe as portrayed on the film? Great part of being Nova Scotian, and Canadian... or fortunate to be living here... nobody is forcing anyone to stay or live someplace that doesn't suit yer fancy! 😉

I have been working in a boat shop for the last 43 years here in Chester that was built in 1980 for the purpose of building wooden 28 ft Cape Island boats for the local fishermen. Little did we know at the time that the Government would start granting fishermen money to go bigger and better. Fiberglass came in, boats doubled in size and the fish soon disappeared. Lobster luckily saved the fishermen and pleasure boats saved a lot of the builders. It would be nice to see bottom paints eliminated or changed so as to save the ocean bottom, as it looks bleak under the surface here in Chester.

gone is an understatement.... The trout are almost completely gone in the southwest, salmon have been gone for decades, the salmon are almost all gone in the north end of the province, the tuna are like ghosts now, lobster fishing is on the way to collapsing, cod fishery is gone, the mackrel are endangered, same as haddock, herring, smelt used to be so thick in the rivers you could walk on them, now there's barely any.... The rivers are being overrun with small mouth and pickerel in the southwest as well... I was born in the early 80's and still had the chance to witness when things were great, it's all dickered now.

Ok, this is a decades old promotional film and yes, it’s interesting to see how much has changed but what it really needs at the start is an apology regarding the complete disregard for the fact that this is Mi’qMa’ki, whose original inhabitants arrived and settled here about 13,000 years ago.

They arrived home, just wanted to sit in the taverns and celebrate. The city was closed up deliberately for their arrival, no wonder they went crazy. They had won the war, I think they wanted to be welcomed and enjoy victory. I don’t condone the rioting, but I think I understand why it happened. My dad stayed on his ship at his post and did not take part. We lived near Halifax, at the time.
