Quote by Simon Winchester
We associate the North Atlantic with cod. The motto of Newfoundlan

We associate the North Atlantic with cod. The motto of Newfoundland used to be In cod we trust. It was a joke, but it was essentially true. But there is no cod anymore. And thats extraordinary. Its all because of either greed or politics – Canadian politics. – Simon Winchester

Other quotes by Simon Winchester
