NL-Outsidethebox [confederation]

I had the distinct pleasure of traveling to Newfoundland/Labrador one summer on the Cat ferry which was rented for the season. The crossing was abit rough in that alot of land lubbers got sick on the 2 hour crossing. Yep thats right 2 hours was all it took to go from North Sydney to Port Aux Basques. I was home the same day. Unlike the usual overnighter.

Now IMHO this vessel wasn't used properly if anything it should have been running from Halifax to St John's or from Boston to St John's. We need links with our largest and closest trading partner. Not faster links or more links but rather links if we are to prosper in the coming years. No man stands alone for long especially not in this evolving and ever changing world.

I say give up the Argentia run in favor of a connection between Boston and St John's.
