Here I sit in Portland, Oregon waiting to leave to climb Mount Hood. This place looks a lot like New Brunswick. Not particularly wealthy but lots of trees, a wood products industry, etc. This is the only U.S. state I had never visited.
You will have to read my column tomorrow in the TJ. I take a slightly different view on out-migration.
Wait a second… you write about the economy and economic development, comparing New Brunswick to places all over the world, and you’ve never visited a U.S. state before?
That explains so much…
You could travel far and wide and have a hard time matching the quality of the sarcasm…. 🙂
