Thread Name: who were the' fortune bay sons'?
Subject: RE: who were the' fortune bay sons'?
Btw, It: the terms Maritimes and Maritimers refer, respectively, to the provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia & Prince Edward Island, and to their inhabitants - as distinct from Newfoundland & Labrador and their inhabitants. Collectively, they - the Maritimes plus Newfoundland and Labrador - are called 'the Atlantic Provinces'. A little confusing, and a bit of a pain, but ... it wasn't my idea! And a lot of Canadians outside the Atlantic Provinces are not too clear on the whole thing.
