	New Brunswick - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		New Brunswick is bounded on the north by Quebec's Gaspé Peninsula and Chaleur Bay and on the east by the Gulf of Saint Lawrence and Northumberland Strait.
		Both Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island are either wholely or nearly surrounded by water and the ocean therefore tends to define their climate, economy and culture.
		New Brunswick's relative location away from the Atlantic coastline hindered new settlement during the immediate post war period; although there were some notable exceptions such as the founding of "The Bend" (present day Moncton) in 1766 by Pennsylvania Dutch settlers sponsored by Benjamin Franklin's Philadelphia Land Company.

	Democratic Party History: a Revealing Rap Sheet : IMC Maritimes
		Rather, it is to reveal an important aspect of the Democratic Party, its historic role as a counterinsurgency operation whose aim is to co-opt and sidetrack political activists, keep them from creating an independent political movement, and divert their energy into legitimating and reinforcing the political system which maintains the status-quo.
		The Democratic global agenda became a lobbying goal for groups such as the newly created Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and other outfits funded by foundations which received their money from corporate coffers, particularly from the Northeast.
		Within the movement, new forces arose, most notably focusing on the oppression of women and gays and the destruction of the environment, tendencies whose critiques implicitly questioned the very nature of the organization of life under capitalism.

		For this to work, it would be essential for all of Prince Edward Island to be included in one of these local government units: at present, most of our rural areas are outside incorporated districts.

		A government is formed by the party winning a majority of seats in the legislature; if no party wins a majority, the party winning the greatest number of seats governs as a minority, or several parties that collectively hold a majority of the seats may govern in coalition.
		On Prince Edward Island the most obvious effect of this disproportionality is the frequent decimation of opposition parties in the Legislature.
		Each party's seat entitlement is calculated according to its proportional list vote; the number of constituency seats the party wins is subtracted from this total, and the result is the number of list seats to which the party is entitled.
