Doesn't it give you a warm fuzzy feeling to be in the presence of (self proclaimed) greatness?

Re: Potentially moving to Halifax, NS
One day you will all realise how both the Federal and Provincial Governments take you for a big ride. Canada's Supply Management in farming has been criticized by all in the western world. It now only supports the "Big Boys" as the small have gone so why does Harper insist on retaining it and done at your-the consumer expense ??? What dairy produce does Canada export?? New Zealand's major export
Why do all provincial governments control alcohol sales and gambling ?? Again unheard of in Western Europe, governments set the tax rates free enterprise does the rest.

Why don't you start a separate thread, possibly de-emphasizing milk, eggs and the NSLCB and concentrating instead on the devastation that Harper has inflicted on democracy and the economic future of Canada (not just NS)?
We could have an interesting chat on this subject elsewhere.

Well Graham, you're likely to get banned if you continue ranting on this particular thread, which would be a shame I think, because I agree with some of your non-ranting points (few and far between as they are).

Graham is taking two weeks off from the forum and hopefully realising that he can't post in such a manner and ignore a moderator. When he comes back I'm sure he'll be capable of holding stimulating discussions, considering others viewpoints without belittling them, and possibly even commenting on something other than milk or alcohol.

Too late. I asked nicely twice, I wasn't going to ask a third time.

OK, our son lives in Halifax and we have been several times to visit then we moved there for 15 months 2012-13, then you begin to learn the down sides.
Canada in many ways is 50 years behind the UK/US-our son also lived US-but he is happy in Halifax.
Immigration is far from easy and expensive but if your skilled they will take you ???
Property much cheaper than UK-we rented for £500 a month all inclusive, run a car is cheaper-fuel-insurance can be expensive.
Food/beer/TV/Internet/cell phone is double and plus UK.
You can call me UK <snip> for a full low down, I won't put you off just wise you up and our son will have contacts that could help you.
Cheers

Re: Potentially moving to Halifax, NS
It is a widely perpetuated myth which is easily debunked by some research that Canada is cheaper than the UK. In some parts housing is cheaper but how much you spend on a house in any country is always up to the individual and a lender.
