Welcome to TOD:Canada and thank you for sharing that interesting piece of information. I try to run energy and economics stories from all over Canada, but some areas are in the news more than others and tend to dominate.

I very much appreciate people from local regions sending in the news from their own area. Stories can be posted to the comments section or sent to the email address on my profile, in which case I'd run them in the body of the next Round-Up.

I was thrilled to notice the Canada section here, thanks for putting together these threads, and no worries about not noticing Nova Scotia news. The bill is only through first reading (of three), but I got to sit in on the first amendment session. It looked hopeful to me.

If all the provinces get plans in motion, I don't really care if the feds ever get there act together. Someone has to do it, and while it might be less efficient than a coordinated effort, we just can't wait another 5 years on getting energy plans together.

If you know of any good news sources in the Maritimes I'd be happy to add them to the list of sources I check regularly. So far I check the Chronicle-Herald (NS), the Telegram (NL) and the Independent (NL).

If anyone else has news sources to recommend from other parts of the country, feel free to suggest those as well. Unfortunately all the northern news sources I've come across seem to be subscription only.
