NOVA SCOTIA SHOWS UP IN THE ECONOMIST

The Economist Newspaper (magazine) is the weekly ‘go to’ publication that the business community and others have been reading for 170 years since it was first published in 1843. The publication promotes the idea that social reform and the economy are closely tied together and contains articles from countries around the world on business, finance and economics, science and technology, education, religion, culture, social unrest, democracy and other topics.  It was interesting to see an article on Nova Scotia which would lead one to believe that important things have been happening that have captured the attention of the editors. The writer recites the many projects that are on the drawing boards and points out that these could spell success, lead the province to prosperity and a needed change in the province’s demographics. The hope is that young people will no longer need to consider moving out of the province in order to find employment. Nova Scotia is considered a “have-not” province and depends on transfer payments from the federal government in order to pay for public services and goods. If workers can find employment here they will stay and raise their families and contribute to the economy.
