Re: Potentially moving to Halifax, NS
Of course this poster is either mad or a troll. I think the former.
Could a passing mod rid me of this annoying priest?

Re: Potentially moving to Halifax, NS
That is all well and good for you one percenters but I drink black coffee and haven't had a bowl of cornflakes for years. This is the reality of life in Canada for us ordinary folks. We have a duty to make sure all potential immigrants are disabused of the idea that Canada is a land of milk and ... er ... milk. I, for one, take this duty seriously.
(OK, I have always taken my coffee black and haven't touched cornflakes since I left home at 18 but hat is beside the point. I'm not going to start now. No siree!)

Re: Potentially moving to Halifax, NS
I love milk too and cheese but recently found out my scurvy like symptoms are lactose intolerance so the price of cow juice means nothing to me.
As for AB i can comment that the trucking side for the time being will weather the drop in oil, as the oil industry slows you forget ICE ROAD season is beginning and all these surplus trucks is making my job a lot easier recruiting for said season ! This season lasts till end of March and if its still slow then most will take well earned vacation.
I will enquire how many tanker loads of Milk go up to all the diamond mines along side the convoys of fuel

My reference to cornflakes meant breakfast cereals etc We-UK just pick up wine/beer along with all other grocery-one check out and done.Nova Scotia oh no, you cannot even buy a tonic water in a liquor store to go with gin-barmy.
1500 people employed in non jobs to sell booze and nothing else, Sobeys/Walmart/Costco etc just another item they could sell at little extra cost. Grow up and get real in Canada PLEASE you CANNOT buy alcohol here without ID
Another excuse used to stop Supermarkets selling in Canada, the rest of the modern world copes

Re: Potentially moving to Halifax, NS
I think we should start a new thread to discuss all this in more depth . Shall we call it "Milk Cheese & All Things Eggman" ?
