When co-ops first got going, people didn't know anything about them. When the movement started in Antigonish with Moses Coady, people didn't know anything about it. He went out and taught them. He brought it over to the island even.
You've just got to know your history. If you want to know where you're going, look at where you've been. It can be done. It's been done. Co-ops didn't appear out of the air. People created them. Once you learn about them, then you can create them, and they can cover anything.
