My husband and I live near Vancouver, where the housing is atrocious. We've done some preliminary thinking about moving to either Ottawa or Halifax. I personally love the idea of moving to Nova Scotia. We might go there next summer just to check it out. Can anyone give advice about jobs, transit, culture? Bears?

Thanks for the replies. I do love the sun, but am okay with rain, snow, and fog too. According to the chart at https://www.currentresults.com/Weather/Canada/Cities/sunshine-annual-average.php, Halifax has about one more day of sunshine per year than Vancouver.

Also, we really do love getting outside, so it's cool to be near beaches (like we are here, but to be quite honest the beaches here don't have big waves due to the island so nearby and are pretty crowded). We're both avid hikers with the occasional run thrown in.

My husband is in the tech industry, and I've worked at a college for the past six years, but before then I guess I was more of a creative professional--editing, writing, that sort of thing. I honestly don't think we'd consider moving unless we got more of a nest egg and had at least one job sorted out ahead of time.
