Co-ops as an alternative

By the people, for the people, in the interests of the people, using the people’s resources.

I wonder if Co-op could be a viable solution to some of NL fishery and pulp mill woes.

Vested interest less poaching and off market selling
Community based
Profits stay locally
Co-op peoples business using the people’s resources. Wood, hydro, minerals, fish.


Co-op local market
Co-op’s are community based

Co-op housing Co-op housing
Co-op vested interest $ share holders start up
Co-op revenues stay locally
Co-op revenues could be used for reinvestment
Co-op fish farming in rural areas sustain life and livelihoods
Co-op Education
Co-op Medical I read about a community in Quebec that was having trouble attracting doctors until.

Here are some links for Co-op’s I googled.
