Nova Scotia is behind other Atlantic provinces in lowering its age eligibility for booking a COVID-19 booster dose.

New to the sub so I apologize if this has been posted here before. If we secede, and so did Canada's Atlantic Provinces (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Labrador) from Canada, we could combine into a regional maritime power.
We would control the entrance to the Northwest passage which in the age of climate change would be like having the Suez canal, we'd open up vast new lands for wind power and gain access to the fishing stock that is moving more Northwards out of New England's reach as the ocean warms. We have far more in common culturally and historically with the Atlantic Provinces than we do with California, Florida, or Texas. Hell while we're at it let's get Baffin Island and encourage Greenlandic secession from Denmark to join our North Atlantic powerhouse.
I'm more interested in the theory of this scenario, rather than how realistic it is
Hi everyone
I am planning to move to any one of the places under Atlantic provinces in Canada for postgraduate diploma certificate. Did a little bit research and found that only Halifax is highly recommended in Nova Scotia.
Are other places going to be difficult for international student to study and work? I'm choosing Atlantic province because of its easy PR pathways.
Suggestions will be highly appreciated. Thank you.
Anyone one know what provinces outside of the Atlantic provinces w fly in fly outs count towards apprenticeship hours, trying to set something up for when I’m out of school. Called the apprenticeship board n they were useless
Most people seem to be generally comfortable allowing other Atlantic Canadians to visit NS without isolation (and without any verification of vaccination). The official reasoning is because of good epidemiology and high vaccine uptake within the region.
However, excluding other provinces that also have good epidemiology and vaccine uptake simply because "not Atlantic Canada" isn't logical and is, in fact, quite discriminatory.
For example, as of June 14th, 74% of Ontario's 18+ population has a first dose. Their positivity rate is dropping to its lowest since last October. Once this drops below 1% and vaccine rates continue to increase, imposing restrictions and vaccine verification on their entry while letting neighbouring provinces wander around freely is hypocritical.
Full Disclosure: My wife and I have no family here in NS-- they are all in Ontario (and Mexico, which is a different Covid story altogether). I have a vested, emotional interest in this issue that may very well cloud my judgement. So please, if I'm wrong here, change my view.
Currently writing a research report for petrology. I've been finding a lot about the subsequent surface formations such as Catoctin and Robertson River but I can't find anything directly about the evolution of the Blue Ridge basement. Thanks to anyone who can help me out and sorry if this isn't the best use of this subreddit
I've had a growing interest in understanding the Atlantic Slave Trade, and while I can find a lot of sources (many of them in this sub!) on the plight of those sold into slavery, their experiences in the New World, and the effects they had on colonies and nations there, I cannot find much on how the trade affected African nations.
How did the ramping up of the slave trade change existing polities in Africa? Were there changes in what was traded for slaves over time, and if so, how did this affect the groups in Africa doing the trading?
Thank you!
