North gets no respect - Chris Labine

I am writing in response to professor David Robinson's recent column in Northern Life.

The provincial government's mindset of the north is that we are nothing more than a revenue source to feed the economic machine of the southern, provincial economy.

We are treated like the "fishing pelican," only to release our catch to our masters because the noose around our neck prevents us from enjoying the fruits of our labour.

The north provides so much revenue for the south that the north should be given a dividend check at the end of the year.
