Cape Breton: Fire Hall and West Coast

cape breton: You won't see me at the casino or down at the fire hall, according to The Chronicle Herald. It was 2002, he had a one-year-old son and lobster gear he'd just taken over from his father. I was never much of a gambler, said Burns. What the Margaree Harbour fisherman didn't have was 120,000 to buy three crab traps worth of quota to add to the handful he'd taken over with his dad's licence. In the past week, nearly 30 million worth of the cold water crustacean have come over Cheticamp's wharves.
