In case some of you did not see this article in the *Chronicle Herald* last
week, Feb. 27, "Rural N.S. needs ethical, ecologically literate economics
by ROBERT CERVELLI KAREN FOSTER and GREGORY HEMING,  you can read it here:

http://thechronicleherald.ca/nowns/conversations/1548942-opinion-rural-n.s.=
-needs-ethical-ecologically-literate-economics

It starts out referencing the Feb. 3 column by Bill Black, asking  *How can
rural N.S. prosper without resource extraction

The Centre for Local Prosperity released a report in Shelburne - here is an
exerpt from the article:

"Over the last three years, the Centre for Local Prosperity has engaged
rural residents in conversations on local economics and ecological health.
Our study, Import Replacement: Local Prosperity for Rural Atlantic Canada,
was released in a town hall meeting in Shelburne on Feb. 26. It
demonstrates that by targeting even a 10-per-cent increase in local
production of currently-imported goods and services across the region, we
could add more than 43,000 new good jobs, $2.6 billion in new wages, and
$219 million in new tax revenue, without running roughshod over the
economic and social possibilities for the next generation."

Interesting stuff!
