you are so right about Halifax ... one of my favourite cities ... and instead of a tim horton's (Winnipeg) or a starbucks (vancouver) on every street corner ... there's a PUB!!!! Hooray!!!!!
road trip man!!! stop in montreal for $10 full contact lap dances, escorts that will make vancouver/calgary/edmonton prices seem outrageously expensive ... and then head out east for lobster and beer, great live music and just lots of fun!!!!!
