5 Reasons NOT To Move to Nova Scotia

Finally back! Y'all seem to really enjoy the Nova Scotia videos so here is a new one! 5 reasons NOT to move to Nova Scotia! I don't normally like making negative videos but we are living in a time where we have to be honest and realistic with our conversations, nowhere is perfect and Nova Scotia is not an exception. So in this video I talk about some of the bigger challenges the province is currently facing! What else is NS struggling with, be sure to comment and start a conversation! What province/state should I do next? We are going to be posting a lot more frequently from now on! Thanks for watching guys!

I personally love living in Nova Scotia it’s a great place to live but also I agree with the housing thing being a good reason not to move here and the weather where I am in Nova Scotia is usually pretty good sunny and snowy in the winter and a little bit of rain to get the flowers in the spring but also all of these points do make sense and I understand why it would stop people from coming here and I’ve lived here my whole life

Nova Scotia is a beautiful place and should be able to support a larger population. Our political leadership has been short sighted and lazy. This is the honest truth for anyone, like me, who has lived 64 years in this province having grown up on this sacred land. Many of our politicians think and plan from one election to another rather than strategically with a 20 to 30 year plan. We have universities that should have been able to seed technology and good jobs but to be honest and direct they have largely not pulled their weight costing more than some are worth. I grew up in the town of Antigonish and during my youth many houses were built cooperatively on my street. Perhaps a mix of new ideas and successes, like CO-OP housing, from the past might be able to help with the shortage of affordable housing. The other thing we must look at is the old and decayed housing stock that is wasting energy and is in some cases unsafe. Cape Breton is filled with housing that simply should be demolished and replaced. Rather than the negativity of this title what about five challenges that you could take on to make Nova Scotia a better happier place? Mary's husband Peter.

As a nova scotian. Thank you for making this video.

you should try BC...Central BC...hospital closed on week end, snow for 6 months, and not just 30cm...more like 3-4-5 feet...yes it is sunny most day...just like Edmonton...but I am done with the 6 months of winter...it was OK at first after my 42 years in rainy Greater Vancouver, I liked the 4 seasons, but 6.5 years later I want out...too much snow, and then too much smokes or even evacuation..no more, I shall try Nova Scotia!

My ancestors were kicked out of Nova Scotia during the expulsion and sent to Louisiana. We visited a few years ago and loved the place. So beautiful. Don’t think I could take the winters though.

Born and raised in Nova Scotia lived in other provinces. I agree with this video 100%. Its easy to say it was a great move from Toronto when you're able to live mortgage free, no 401 traffic to deal with ocean view home. This isnt the reality of most maritimers though. Great honest video.👍👍

Two winters in Halifax was enough for me; too much slush, snow, ice, and wind.

[beautifulbutterflies]

This is very true I moved here 4 years ago from Saskatoon everything suck healthcare shopping housing affordability and if you care about weather I honestly prefer Saskatoons cold winter NS winter is gross wet cold and unpredictable

Asides from 1 year with hurricane Fiona's damage and trees knocked down, weather's been otherwise wonderful for the rest of my 33 years. I should also note that I do enjoy the snow.

Housing is a problem EVERYWHERE. It's b/c corporations are involved, buying up all of the properties.

As a Cape Bretoner, I love that opening photo of Inverness beachz but as a Nova Scotian this is a place to move if your rich,

[caleb]

Don't get sick on the weekend here. You go to the emergency room and probably have a 6 hour wait if you're lucky

[dredametto]

Thank you for all your videos! For a person like me who doesn't know almost anything about Canada, your videos are pretty helpful! Thank you very much

Grew up in Nova Scotia, moved away when I joined the military for 20 years, but coulden't wait to move home and retire. Bought an acreage and built a nice home. Then the reality set in. High taxes, expensive electricity, no Dr. car rusting out in the driveway, acid rain, and just run down depressing to what I remembered growing up. Ended up selling just about everything and moved back to British Columbia. I miss things about home, but My bones are going to be buried in B.C.

Please don’t move here unless you’re actually going to live here and pay taxes, respect the local cultures and contribute to the community. Can’t stand foreign absentee landowners inflating property prices leaving most Nova Scotians perpetually renting

[meganbourque-arslan]

This is all 100% accurate but I still love it here!!!

[ernajones]

we moved here from Toronto in 1990..was a struggle with no money..started an esthetics business in bridgewater and was happily accepted but i never charged a lot for my services as a lot of clients had little income. loved my clients clients

2:15 thanks to the bug city of halifax growing at an impossible rate

I don’t mind the weather in NS at all. I like 4 seasons. I don’t mind moisture as it keeps the place green. I wish winter was a bit cooler so that the snow stayed on the ground more consistently.
