I don't know if you can buy them. I have a neice who married into the family who is from PEI. They live in Ft MacMurry now. I'll ask them. And there is a comedy "Rare Birds" with a plot that involves the "sighting" of a rare bird to improve business at a restaurant somewhat out in the boonies of NS (I think.) Something tells me that made "The Boat Who Wouldn't Float" into a film, at least I remember reading that they did, but I figured it couldn't possibly live up to the book so I sort of pushed it off my mental landscape. (It's a delightful book with some great scenes. I'll remember the hopeful sculpins looking up 'til the day I day. And the coffee made without benefit of water that packed a real punch.)
