Default Anything negative to say about Nova Scotia

My wife and I are looking into immigrating and were just wondering if anybody has anything negative to say about Nova Scotia, also opinions on Nova Scotia versus New Brunswick. Haven't been out for a reccie yet?

Halifax is monocultural and socially conservative, the rest of NS more so, don't hope to find curry.

Its the disney version of Newfoundland. (A little cleaner, a little less rugged, nice, but not the real thing.)

Lord T'undering' Jesus boy!

Anything negative to say....
  • It's full of Scots and Irish? (ducks and runs for cover!)
  • It's more Scottish than Scotland?
  • It's cultural icon is a bagpipe playing, crack crazed, kilt wearing pederast?
  • They killed all the fish?
  • They introduced Turbot to the world?

I'm tryin' to find something negative.

If you like strong cultural roots and celtic traditions; if you like the Atlantic Raw and Untamed and Untempered by Ireland and the Irish Sea; if you like rum; if you like IPA; if you like fish you'll love Nova Scotia!
