What is Newfoundland exports?

Answer 1

an outport is the term given for a small isolated coastal community in the http://www.answers.com/topic/Canada province of http://www.answers.com/topic/newfoundland-and-labrador. Originally the term was just used for coastal communities on the island of http://www.answers.com/topic/newfoundland-island but the term has also been adopted for those on the mainland area of http://www.answers.com/topic/labrador as well. Outports are some of the oldest European settlements in Canada to this day, many of them having been established by Portuguese, Spanish, Basque, French, and English fishermen and whalers in the http://www.answers.com/topic/1500s-http://www.answers.com/topic/1800s. Typically, they feature small wooden houses and associated outbuildings and http://www.answers.com/topic/fishing-stage clustered around the water's edge. The term outport has sometimes been used in a derogatory sense. On the island of Newfoundland, residents of the capital city of http://www.answers.com/topic/st-john-s-newfoundland-and-labrador would frequently be referred to as townies, whereas those not from St. John's would be referred to as baymen or bay wops - derived from outport. This cultural phenomenon mostly existed in the days before reliable surface land transportation on the island, when most travel was done by boat or coastal ferry and settlements were located on the coast. The http://www.answers.com/topic/newfoundland-railway construction in the 1890s resulted in the creation of inland communities that relied on land-based Natural Resources. The outports began to see wholesale depopulation following cutbacks to ferry services and construction of roads throughout the island during and after the http://www.answers.com/topic/world-war-ii. Following http://www.answers.com/topic/canadian-confederation in http://www.answers.com/topic/1949, the government of premier http://www.answers.com/topic/joey-smallwood pursued a policy of forced/encouraged resettlement of residents from outports to central inland communities where provision of schools, health care and other government services could be achieved more cheaply. The resettlement program had many critics, as they noted that it resulted in what was likened to a "cultural genocide" as rural Newfoundland society became decimated. The cod moratorium of 1992 was another blow to the outport communities, whose entire economies were based on the ocean and its resources. Throughout the 1990s and into the 2000s, outports have voluntarily agreed to depopulate as government required 100% agreement among residents for resettlement, prior to agreeing to close a community. The provincial government still maintains a voluntary resettlement program whereby residents of outports agreeing to resettle are given lump-sum payments of approximately http://www.answers.com/topic/canadian-dollar100,000. Today, only a small proportion of the provincial population remains in outports along the rugged coasts of Newfoundland and Labrador. With no highway access, limited economic growth due to declines in the fishery, and ongoing depopulation as young people move to larger urban centres, the outport is an endangered phenomenon. == ==
