Op Ed in response to negative VIA OCEAN article in the Halifax Chronicle Herald

The Halifax Chronicle Herald carried this Op Ed of mine seeking to refute the ludicrous claim by Robert
Simes that the loss of the OCEAN would have no effect on Nova Scotia tourism. This appeared as a feature on
the Editorial page.

Re: Op Ed in response to negative VIA OCEAN article in the Halifax Chronicle Herald

I work in the tourism industry here in Nova Scotia in a Railway Museum  
in Lunenburg.  I meet allot of people that have taken the train to  
come here and this year I have meet more of these people in the first  
half of the  year than I have in all of last year.  So where did they  
get this consultant from?

RE: Op Ed in response to negative VIA OCEAN article in the Halifax Chronicle Herald

Here's the earlier article:
<http://thechronicleherald.ca/business/113381-via-rail-cuts-wont-hurt-ns-tourism-travel-consultant-says>
Wonder how much (or little) of Sime's livelihood comes from VIA.
