Default nova scotia or british columbia?

Dilemma. We were going to Vancouver (or near vancouver) but cost of property has risen so much since we first submitted our visa application over 3 years ago, we are having to re-think. Halifax in Nova Scotia seems a popular place to go and I have read that Halifax is one of the best places in Canada for kids/families. Can anyone give me any info about living in NS? Is the weather crap? I don't particularly mind the cold in winter if there is a decent summer!

You obviously have an Ocean fetish.

I'm sure there are help groups out there.

What's Halifax got that Vancouver hasn't? Apart from affordable houses? Seen quite a few that having outdoor pools, but looking at the weather statistics, is there any point in having a pool? Suppose it would come in useful for bathing the dog.
