The province says it's working with Bell Islanders after protesters blocked the ramp of the MV Legionnaire throughout the weekend, to prevent it from leaving for Fogo. Brazil said he presented a handful of other scenarios for the Fogo ferry conundrum to the government, but all were ignored. "They've got a hospital on Fogo Island that can handle a hell of a lot more than here," one man said. "I'm not from Bell Island but I want to call it my home," said a woman who had recently moved there. She told Brazil she had trouble finding employment off the island, due to her address being on Bell Island.
