	Nova Scotia labour response to Crisis 1984
		Industrial Cape Breton may be a mine for labour historians, but the more recent record of the labour movement in the province has strayed a considerable distance from this tradition.
		Here the major contradiction, as with the labour movement as a whole, is between the sectional interests of the individual unions and the general interests of the movement as a whole.
		It was a stunning defeat for the labour movement in the province and a dismal end to the Common Front which had appeared in 1972 to represent a significantly new social movement.

	Cape Breton Labour Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The party was founded by Paul MacEwan, who had been an NDP Member of the Nova Scotia Legislative Assembly for ten years, 1970 to 1980.
		The Cape Breton Labor Party was founded at a convention held in Glace Bay in the fall of 1982.
		The party issued a multi-point election platform, but its contents were confined to such traditional Cape Breton issues as "proper" levels of government support for the coal and steel industries, a higher minimum wage, reform of Workers Compensation, and improvements to highways.

		While they retained in other respects, their partiality for the savage life, they have been exposed to all those sufferings arising from cold and inclement seasons, to which they are always liable in the high northern latitudes, under which they live.
		That party who are in favour of leasing their lands are the most addicted to intemperance ; but it is acknowledged, that those who are called, in general, steady and sober men, will at some times transgress the rules of temperance.

	Frank. Cape Breton Red
		It was his hope that labour radicals across the country would unite around a common programme focusing on issues such as unemployment and housing, and that they would be prepared to engage in forms of common action such as general strikes to enforce their demands.
		It was the election that reduced the old Tory party of big business to third place and enabled the Liberals to begin their tenure as the government party of the 20th century.
		There followed dozens of protests from union locals, labour councils and public meetings in all parts of the country: from the western coalfields, from machinists and garment workers in Montreal, from steelworkers in Hamilton, from railway workers in Moncton and Halifax, from labour councils in Calgary and Montreal.

	Colin Perkel, Nation rife with labour strife: As Labour Day nears, workers are united in their discontent
		Two weeks ago, unionized drivers in Cape Breton left their buses after a fellow driver was suspended for refusing to take the wheel because he was denied a lunch break.
		Labour leaders say the shared sense of grievance among workers is helping pull private- and public-sector unions closer together and that the labour movement is more united now than a year ago.
		For one thing, the nasty spat that was still raging last Labour Day after the CAW was expelled from the Canadian Labour Congress and affiliated federations over a raiding dispute has been largely settled and the powerful union is returning to the fold.

		Scott Boyd, manager of the province's Cape Breton cabinet office, says many of the problems faced by Cape Bretoners are not unique to the island.

		This cape lieth south-south-west from St. John's; it is a low land, being off from the cape about half a league; within the sea riseth up a rock against the point of the cape, which thereby is easily known.
		Under this cape we were becalmed a small time, during which we laid out hooks and lines to take cod, and drew in less than two hours fish so large and in such abundance, that many days after we fed upon no other provision.
		The distance between Cape Race and Cape Breton is 87 leagues; in which navigation we spent eight days, having many times the wind indifferent good, yet could we never attain sight of any land all that time, seeing we were hindered by the current.

		The result was an extended series of letters in the Canadian Labour Leader which explained the miners’ case for better wages in exceptional detail while also gaining recognition for the women’s contribution to “the economic side of housekeeping”.
		When a Cape Breton Independent Labour Party was formed at this time (with McLachlan as president), the party platform included “working class ownership and democratic management of all social means of wealth production and distribution at the earliest possible date”.
		By the 1920s, when he counted himself a supporter of the Communist Party of Canada, the objective had not changed significantly and was described in party platforms (and on the front page of the Maritime Labor Herald as “Nationalization of Industry with Workers’ Control”.

	George MacEachern, An Autobiography: The Story of a Cape Breton Labour Radical. by Michael Earl (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		George MacEachern was the most active shop-floor leader in the organizing of the steel workers' union in Sydney, Nova Scotia, in 1935, 1936, and 1937, and this was one of the earliest places in Canada where the industrial unionism of the cioœ made a breakthrough.
		George was able to offer some broad insights into several themes in Canadian labour history.' This seems quite valid, but it might have been useful to have included, interspersed with MacEachern's narrative, a few short passages giving the broad outlines of the historical events of the period.
		But throughout the book is revealed, in passage after passage, MacEachern's honest pride in workmanship, his compassion for those who suffered injustice and hardship, his anger at stupidity and greed, and his wholehearted dedication to the cause for which he worked.

		It was called 'Cape Breton is the Thought Control Centre of Canada,' by a guy name of Ray Smith.
		Now here's the funny thing about that; the idea of Cape Breton separation has been around for almost as long as Homard's back taxes, not just with the Cape Breton Liberation Army who did it for fun but regular political groups like the Cape Breton Labour party who were pretty serious about it.
		Macneill's still working out the details, but he says most of Cape Breton's 150,000 people (he talked to them all at once because they're all at the airport heading for Alberta) are all for it and Stevie's gambit could inspire similar movements in Labrador, northern Ontario and northern Manitoba.

	Jensen-Post-Secondary Education on the Edge
		In the bitter, conflict-ridden 1920s and 1930s, when miners battled the army and police for enough wages to stay alive and gave their allegiance to the Communist Party, Glace Bay was known as "Little Moscow." May Day parades saw 10,000 workers, their families and children, marching under the hammer and sickle.
		The battles of militant miners, led by the legendary labour leader J.B. McLachlan, have settled into the myths and stories that residents of Glace Bay tell about their beloved home place.
		To be from "the Bay"-this identity is still fiercely adhered to-was to embrace a communal heritage of labour struggles and mining.

		Ideologically, these parties are at opposite ends of the political spectrum, but both have an interest in decentralization - Harper because he dislikes big government (especially eastern big government which has not traditionally paid much attention to the interests of the west) and the BQ because they are separatists.

		Cecil Clarke, Minister of Energy and Tory MLA for Cape Breton North, I was happy to see that Premier Hamm was presented with a new T-shirt by N.S. Legal Aid lawyer and anti-strip mining advocate Alan Nicholson of Boularderie Island, near the Seal Island Bridge.
		But Cape Bretoners are not strangers to their own legacy of strip mining and they didn't like the experience so the government's plan is running into a lot of opposition.

		When the Indians pursued the party into the town, they set fire to all the buildings, except a few in the neighbourhood of the house in which the inhabitants had taken shelter.
		And though the punishment may seem too rigorous, yet it ought to be remembered, that if commanders of parties, sen! upon particular expeditions, may take liberty to vary from their express orders, nothing effectual could be accomplished, and only confusion, disappointment, loss, and in many cases ruin would be likely to ensue.
		Several years did the town lie desolate and in ruins; the buildings in ashes—the farms uncultivated, and the inhabitants scattered abroad; but peace being settled with the Indians, some of the dispersed, after a while, returned to the place of their former habitation, and, in conjunction with others, gradually resettled the town.

		James Bryson McLachlan was born in 1869, two years after Confederation, and died in 1937, two years before the start of a war that elevated Canada's standing among world nations.
		With considerable deftness, Frank retells familiar stories through the prism of McLachlan's own experience: the 1909 Glace Bay strike, the rise and fall of the Provincial Workmen's Association, the labour unrest of 1919, the rise of industrial unionism, and the Communist Party's uneasy relationship with the Canadian labour movement.
