    That’s been a thing forever in the Atlantic provinces. Fish, forestry, military or move.

    I ended up moving from NB in 2009, with the company saying I could move back when work improved. Fifteen years later, I’m still in the West and the people who made the promise are long gone.

    I’m hoping to retire and move home in a few years. I’ve had enough.

    “Oh, I miss the green and the woods and streams
    And I don’t like cowboy clothes
    But I like being free and that makes me
    An idiot, I suppose”
