Policy Alternatives: Government and Region

policy alternatives: It wouldn't be fair to say that the Harper government was hostile to the region or the province, according to The Chronicle Herald. It did OK with the massive naval shipbuilding program for the Halifax shipyard, and financially supported the capital city's iconic new library. Indeed, Trudeau's overall approach to government comes as a bit of a relief in Atlantic Canada and Nova Scotia. But Mr. The Trudeau government is taking a different approach to economic development, by supporting programs that could fundamentally alter the region's economy. Harper himself never seemed to get the region, or to consider policy alternatives that might revive its economy. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
