ATLANTICA - A unified region consisting of Canada’s Atlantic Provinces and the northeastern United States in which provincial + state legislation would eliminate / stagnate the minimum wage, restrict the ability of workers to organize and drastically reduce public spending on social programs; spearheaded by the Halifax-based Atlantic Institute for Market Studies (AIMS) and the Eastern Maine Development Corporation. AIMS: “If the border cannot be made to disappear, its impact must at least be blurred.”
