Mine! All mine!

Two bits of Tomrideoutiana right in a row!

CBC North reports today:

Process Nunavut's turbot onshore, suggests N.L. minister

Nunavut's turbot quota should be processed in Canada instead of Greenland, Newfoundland and Labrador's Fisheries Minister Tom Rideout says.

[...]

Nunavut controls the turbot fishery in the Davis Strait but it has only 27 per cent of the quota off southern Baffin Island.

Rideout said he supports Nunavut getting a bigger share of the turbot fishery off its shores but does not think the fish should be processed in Nuuk, Greenland, as is currently the case.

"I think what we have to do, collectively as Canadians, is to draw more of that resource into the Canadian sphere for dividing up," said Rideout, who would like the fish processed in his province.

Baffin Fisheries Coalition chair Ben Kovic told CBC News he understands why the province would like the extra business but it has to make economic sense.

Interesting.

In this brave new world of official DannyBrand Newfoundland nationalism, what’s Newfoundland’s is Newfoundland’s.

What’s Labrador’s, of course, is also Newfoundland’s.

What’s Nunavut’s, a separate territory within Canada… that, too, is, or should be, Newfoundland’s, regardless of the business sense for the people who put up the capital. (How depressingly familiar that’s become.)

And, of course, what’s Greenland’s, a separate, semi-autonomous territory of another country altogether? Yip, that, too, is Newfoundland’s.

Adjacency, in Dannystan, is a one-way street.

So, these days, is capital investment. And outmigration. Only in the opposite direction.

Yet no one wants to see where these streets intersect.
