What happens when a community depends on fossil fuel extraction
and the industry always calls the shots? Team Advantage digs into
the history of coal mining in Nova Scotia, examining the role of
the labour movement, deindustrialization and attempts at
nationalization, the history of mining disasters, and the long-term
effects of regional decline. What might Alberta glean from Nova
Scotia's experience?
Special thanks to

known as the Ballad of Springhill).
