SJ? Jeeziz, what happened to the sacred convention of spelling out the Saint as well as the John so as not to confuse the already-confused with St. John's Newfoundland?

There are four Maritime provinces: New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Cape Breton. Ask any Cape Bretoner!

Heh heh.

Etymologically over my head here...but to a question like that, you can really make up any bullshit ya like, they'll buy it.
