As a Newfoundlander tells it

Ottawa Fails to Support Atlantic Canada: "We've all heard the misinformation some of these activist groups spread. An example of this is the recently published list of restaurants that are supposedly boycotting Canadian seafood. According to one activist group, the boycott is going great and gaining momentum. A consumer group recently contacted over a third of the restaurants named and found that many were still serving Canadian seafood. Those particular restaurants did not even know they were on the list. Others contacted were vegetarian outlets that never did serve seafood and many others never served Canadian seafood in the first place. According to the report, only about 13% of those listed were actually supporting the anti-seal movement in their boycott. "

You tell 'em, Myles.
