Re: Cost of living compared to UK Alberta and N Scotia
As someone who doesn't live in either but has visited them, I'd say:
Alberta: used to be cheap until 3-4 years ago, but now similar.
Nova Scotia: cheaper, but getting more expensive.

The main thing that makes the cost of living cheaper in NS is property prices.
If you can buy a house outright and have no mortgage it makes a huge difference to your monthly outgoings.
