I didn't think you could drive to and from 'the island'.
Is it possible for you to let me know if it is a good place to buy a hoiliday home?
My wife and I are thinking a place in PEI or even a cabin in Vancouver.

Is it a good place to buy a holiday home? Well if you like beaches, lobster and faintly South Devon like countryside then yes. It gets busy in the summer and is dead (and very snowy) in the winter. Property seems ridiculously cheap when I last looked on mls.

Re: Manitoba Vs Ontario
At the very beginning we were tempted even though SEEMS remote ! I really liked the idea of running a B & B around the Bay of Fundy so that all my guests would be impressed with the whale watching etc. Not much there for the kids though I feel, could be wrong.

"EEEEwwwww"
Have to say I was thinking the same :scared:
Yuk I know where I'd choose to live in that case
On the other hand I hear Winnipeg can be a tad chilly so if you hide from the bogeymonster you may tolerate Toronto conditions better
On the tourism side and being more helpful I would definitely say Ontario's likely to be a better place to try setting up a B&B. Winnipeg would be off the beaten track for many a tourist, whereas Ontario's got all the sights & definitely a tourist hotspot.

All sounds to be a bit of a 'mare to me.

When you see a property you like do you need to add GST on the price. Or do you pay what you see?

GST is only on new houses. I suppose that, if you bought the B&B as a business with no residential element, you might get into GST but I don't think you'd want to do that.
