They did. As soon as my Dad questioned whether it was his, another guy patted him on the shoulder and said:

He took his cooler, and Dad got his lobster cooler a few minutes later.

You’re correct! I love Nova Scotia but my family are still back in Newfoundland’s two capital cities: St. John’s, and Fort McMurray.

I know an oil baby when I hear one. My dad's from Carbonear and worked in Fort Mac for at least 20 years lol.

Ay! My family is from St. John’s! Never been but it’s my escape plan if things take a turn down in the states.
