| Nova Scotia (1867-2014) |
The province of Nova Scotia died of a self-inflicted wound on Wednesday. Its corpse was found situated south of New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. It leaves behind three children - Jolene, Terence and Lisa. It will be sadly missed by the Dominion of Canada which counted it as one of its founding provinces. In lieu of equalisation payments, leave it nothing.
So farewell to Nova Scotia....
It is hoped no one else follows its ruin.

It's probably good for some people. I mean, the last thing we need is for (more) power to be transferred out of Ontario and Quebec and into other provinces.... right?

Nova Scotia killed itself. One's hands are tied.
Corruption runs Ontario and Quebec and from that they derive their money.
Don't tell me that the powers that be in Ontario and Quebec didn't influence Nova Scotia at all. They're all in bed with each other. Look at what happened in the Alberta provincial elections.

Nova Scotia doesn't need Ontario or Quebec to influence it. Nova Scotia is a welfare culture. Now, it is a finished one.
So there aren't businesses doing well in Nova Scotia? So There aren't any people in Nova Scotia earning their own wage?
There are, and to people in the west, that is the problem.

There's this:
"“Cape Breton Island, in terms of rate, saw the biggest decline of any region in the country, according to this (Statistics Canada) data, and CBRM, obviously, constitutes a big part of that.”
In 2012-13, the figures show the CBRM lost 931 people to interprovincial migration to other parts of Canada, and a further 301 people moved to other areas of Nova Scotia (known as intraprovincial migration).
The other municipalities in Cape Breton are worse off with declines in population from the 2006 to 2011 census years at 4.6 per cent for Richmond County, 5.7 per cent for Inverness County, and 6.3 per cent for Victoria County.
Whalley says long-range projections from consulting firm Stantec estimate the CBRM’s population in 2031 would be approximately 78,000.
The island’s population is estimated to shrink to 102,000 from its current size of 134,535 people.
And the province has to also start seeking solutions as Nova Scotia’s population declined by about 4,000 citizens in the last census, he notes.
“Nova Scotia’s manufacturing base has really declined, particularly in regions like Cape Breton,” he says."

And this:
"So, what are the consequences of the Nova Scotia fracking ban?
First, it sends a clear message to the people of Nova Scotia that their government doesn’t care about real job creation – the kind of jobs that don’t require government investment, that pay well and support families and that provide significant revenues to keep hospitals and schools running.
Second, the Province has shown that it is willing to let others take the risks and absolve itself of any responsibility to provide energy security for Nova Scotians. We will assume that provincial leaders are also content to let their citizens absorb higher energy prices.
Lastly, in a rush to leave job creation to the other provinces of the federation, Nova Scotia demonstrates its willingness to remain a ‘have-not’ province, hereby continuing to receive transfer payments from others while not being willing to contribute."

It's still not fair to say this represents the entire province. Especially since you are looking at only once section of it.
I don't need you to quote fracking ban documents at me, not statistics of section of single province for a claim that you can't support. That being, the people of Nova Scotia are a welfare culture. Especially since their unemployment rate is not much higher than hours, owing largely I'm sure, to the fact their population is significantly lower.
Furthermore, governments change. Since a majority of people, those in Nova Scotia, like to own things and having money, they will eventually speak with their wallets.
