I've been told today that there is plenty of coal "out East". Is that true? Do they have coalmines in Newfoundland / Nova Scotia / New brunswick?

If so, can you get coal for your fires?

I don't think so anymore, if you head up to the industrial museum in Stellerton (dangerously close to the North Shore) you can read about all the mining disasters in NS, we were quite prolific at cave ins I believe about 100 years ago. I don't think there are any mines left these days.
