When Prince Edward Island's Tess Miller needs a break, she heads to an even smaller island off Nova Scotia's south shore — Big Tancook Island. "If you've got 18 cars coming off the ferry, then another 18 cars, it is going to totally change that way of life," said Miller. Residents divided"We should be looking at what the island needs and we don't need an 18-car ferry," she said. The proposed ferry has split the island's 100 permanent residents down the middle, according to several people contacted by CBC News. Transportation Minister Lloyd Hines, the cabinet minister responsible for ferries, disputes Miller's claim that a larger ferry isn't what the island needs.
