Beyond 'the Atlantic bubble': considering archipelagic tourism on Canada's east coast

We head to North America for Chapter 6. The four largely English-speaking provinces of Atlantic Canada – Newfoundland and Labrador (where most of the population lives on the island of Newfoundland), New Brunswick, Nova Scotia (including the island of Cape Breton) and Prince Edward Island – experimented with being an 'Atlantic Bubble' for some months during the Covid-19 pandemic, if anything to salvage part of their tourism industries. The argument here is that, during the pandemic, archipelagic thinking allowed for more fluidity between and among the constituent pieces of the region. Nova Scotia and New Brunswick and their surrounding islands reconstitute the ideas of boundedness and connectedness that are the hallmarks of island living.
