I watched a travel show about Sicily and it mentioned how the residents rented and worked in fields owned by absentee land owners. People were fed up paying rent with no hope of owning the land owned by someone who didn't even live on the island.
Here in Canada one of the reasons my island province is a province of Canada is because it joined Canada for exactly the same reasons Sicily had with absentee landowners. We're the Sicily of Canada I guess.
- credit_guy 3y ago> We're the Sicily of Canada I guess. I'm not from Canada, and I don't really know what province you are talking about (my guess is Newfoundland). But aside from the analogy that it's an island, is there anything deeper in what you are trying to say? Is the organized crime a problem in your province?
- dghughes 3y agoNo unusual crime perhaps we have the least crime of anywhere in Canada or even all of the Americas. We're PEI not Newfoundland although to be correct its name is Newfoundland and Labrador now. I meant it's the island way of life and absentee landlords issue and how it spurred great changes for PEI and Sicily.
