Answer to Question 1

Students can point out that this was a way of revitalizing this area's depressed rural economy, while taking advantage of Maine's cold winters and heavy snowfalls.

Answer to Question 2

The student can mention:
Newfoundland and Labrador was a separate British colony until the mid-20th century, and its residents still identify themselves more with the province than with Canada as a whole.
The historic sense of isolation that characterizes communities along the coast of Maine.
The French culture in Moncton in New Brunswick.
Language: The Atlantic Periphery is a mlange of languages from Maine English to hints of Irish, Scottish, British English, and French in the language of Newfoundland and Labrador, to French as a spoken language in Moncton in New Brunswick.
