I see this as an attack on rural Nova Scotia.

The first gig we ever played was in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where I'm from,

In this part of Canada, it was assumed that the passengers would provide each other with entertainment.

This is my home, Cape Breton is my home, and I don’t know if I really want to leave it as much as I might think and I’m sort of scared to leave it all behind, everything I’ve lived with, I have so many memories of all the things I’ve done here and I’m afraid if I leave, I might lose all my memories…

While U.N. personnel are being held hostages, any continuation of attack against the RUF could place the U.N. personnel at risk,

I was kind of surprised. Normally one or two will go in, but not that many.
