Abstract
Do you remember the invasion of Newfoundland?s hydroponic cucumber? How about New Brunswick?s Bricklin sports car? Dan Soucoup follows the money up the political ladder to deliver the dirt on the most devastating failed business ventures, political scandals, and industry fiascos in Atlantic Canadian history. Presented in entertaining vignettes, he exposes two centuries of debacles. Exposed is the downfall of many local industries including steel, coal mining, and hydro-power. Relive the tragic fall of Sydney Steel in Cape Breton, PEI?s flawed immigrant investor program, the controversial (and ongoing) Churchill Falls project in Newfoundland, and plenty more. Includes 40 historical and contemporary images
