While this seems a rather extreme take, there's more than a grain of truth here. I have definitely noticed a trend of thinly veiled suspicion and distrust toward anyone achieving almost any type of success, especially financial - excluding of course the "favoured few" binging at the government trough.
Nova Scotia has a long track record of driving out our most productive individuals and businesses. Then we turn around and wonder why almost every long term economic measure has been so terrible for so long...
