Talk:Cape Breton Island
|
|
The comment "Cape Breton was illegally annexed along with Prince Edward Island in 1820" smelled bogus to me, so I did some quick searches on-line and at the library. I could find no corroboration (though as I mentioned, my searches were not thorough), so I edited the illegally out. If there really is a controversy over the legality of the 1820 annexation, we should elaborate about it a little bit and not just mention it in passing.--Indefatigable 19:26, 13 Jan 2004 (UTC)
Cleanup....
That should help a bit...anyone else have any ideas of what else we could put in? I think more on the economy and a bit less on waterway navigation, etc., could help.Habsfannova 03:23, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Looks great! I agree - there should also be more information on its years as an independent colony, more on coal mining (Sydney Field and the Inverness Field) and how this drove the steel industry. I'll see if I can get a better map which shows communities and counties in better detail.Plasma east 00:40, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- How about adding some population figures and more info on the tourism industry? I could be wrong but I think the island is trying to drum up interest in more toursim. --Scottanon 21:15, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Population?
Population data would be nice. Funnyhat 06:56, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
