πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ [Halifax, NS] Urban sugaring a success for one Haligonian, but city not so sweet on idea

* former resident: great coastal city
* excellent universities, culture (food; music; diversity, e.g.1980's influx of Buddhists)
* scenic beauty; tourism; festivals; fishing
* historical importance: e.g. WWII convoy staging
* longish winters; like all places healthcare under strain
