If you could live anywhere in Eastern Canada...

I have heard Halifax is really nice...never have been down to the Maritimes yet though!

Prepare for a TON of snow though down there - they always seem to get hammered in the winter

Personally, I would pick BC over the Maritimes...nice weather but alot of rain apparently. I hate cold!

I grew up in Saskatchewan!! Then resided in Victoria BC for nearly 10 yrs and resided in Greenwood NS for a few ys and spent a fair bit of time in Halifax NS!! Yes head to BC,lol Actually Halifax isnt too bad, but weatherwise, Victoria wins outright!! Less taxes in BC as well!!!

Prince Edward Island is beautiful as well.

I am a young travel nurse who was born who was born and raised in NS. I LOVE LOVE Nova Scotia, being away and going back for vacation has made me have a whole new apperciation for its beautiful surroundings and people. I know it sounds corny but moving away from home makes you realize what your missing. You can take the girl out of the maritimes but not the maritimes out of the girl!

I do plan eventually to move back to the east coast, we do get some hard winters but just as bad as the eastern states do. However our warm summer nights are the best! I would definately reccomend living in Halifax for a young family or somewhere a little bit outside of the city. Good luck with your decision!

Although I've never been there, it would be Newfoundland for me...there's a certain draw I can't explain...and I LOVE snow and the idea of being near the ocean...I don't get enough of it where I am now...and there's a certain, Je ne sais quoi about the people who reside there! And hey, it's just a small skip to the French island St. Pierre (depending where in Newfoundland and Labrador you happen to be!)

You actually like the snow?! I live in Toronto, and we probably get the least amount of snow than any other place [that gets snow] in Canada, and it's still too much! Despite that, though, you will love living here. Everyone is super nice (for the most part) and the health care industry doesn't get sued as much as in the States . Just kidding. But good luck on your move! Oh, I've also been to New Brunswick & Nova Scotia--I'd move there just for the fresh lobster!

Anyone from Winnipeg? What's it like over there?

"squitos as big as choppers in the summer. Cold winters. Middle of nowhere.

And those are the good things.

I grew up in Saskatchewan, but spent time in Winnipeg Mb. I'm not a big fan of Winnipeg (sorry) lol Winters are cold with snow!! The winds can really pick up, which just makes it colder. Summers are hot, but luckily thats only for a short time,lol yes the mosquito's are a pain, so are the black flies. But its not all bad, probably no different than many cities. people are friendly, they have a brand new hockey rink downtown, AHL team (NHL jets are now in Phoenix!)
