   Paul,
  </div> 
  <div>
   &#160;&#160; just wondering: Did the authorities seriously consider a bridge, rather than just the causeway/canal option, in the pre-causeway days?

        Today with the high winds and blowing snow I was looking at a few things on the Internet and I came across the ice in the&#160;eastern&#160;North America.

        &#160;In the good old days before the canso causeway this map would have looked different - if they had such a map. The Gut of Canso had a tremendous tidal flow in and out. Any ice caught up in the flow was soon ground up. North West winds like today would&#160;push the ice from the Gulf down into the south east corner just where the Gut is situated. and out to the ocean it would go.

        The result was very little ice in April in the Gulf and.

        &#160;no doubt big changes for the rest of nature there.

        Lobsters we know for sure thrived on the new conditions. The extra catches were probably worth more than the causeway cost.&#160;&#160;Tuna also and no more exotic fish and ocean things. A whole new world.

        A project with far reaching effects.
