I have to say that it’s refreshing to read the positivity about how nice of a place that this is to live. Sometimes I think we get caught up in the minutiae of what isn’t working and lose sight of the gem that Halifax really is.
We have to take many of the “backwater” comments with a grain of salt, as I think many of them come from some other disgruntlement from people who feel the need to put down our fair city to make themselves feel better about their own situations.
