Sure is nice to hear that 2 new ferries will fly canadian flag & vision to be reflagged to canadian also. Don,t know who all you hourly posters are but we are supposed to have a jones act as such similar to usa that doesn,t allow foreign flagged vessels to trade between 2 canadian ports, but this has been abused & neglected by the federal authorities for years. I have nothing against cyprus or it,s people. or any other foreign country but, i think as a canadian i would love a ship running across cabot strait from nfld. to nova scotia to be flying canadian flag, & i,m sure mr. follett & all top executives of marine have had a lot of flack on this from union people as well as politicians & old seadogs like me to finally be proud canadians & get our flag back on these ships. Thank god someone in govt. is listening. Might not mean anything to you young people but i,m sure it does to a lot of older canadians, & especially an awful lot of the best seamen in the world that come from newfoundland
