I was definitely recently surprised to see the population of Nova Scotia break 1 million after being stagnant for so long. It's probably overall better for the country to have the population a bit more evenly distributed than it is now

Is anywhere in Canada handling a booming population well right now
"We have new people whose life experiences have been radically different than ours. And so for those of us who have been here for decades or a long time, it gives us an insight into how people lived in other parts of the world, and now they're with us and we want to learn about them. So we are one united community."
This is such a positive take from someone in leadership re: new immigration to their community. It can be difficult to manage unexpected population growth and the federal/provincial governments offer poor support to growing communities across Canada. Mr. Morrison and his neighbours deserve lots of credit and respect for welcoming new neighbours who've been through a lot. They sound like good people.
I think NS is in a good position to expand and become something wonderful if only our leadership can get it together.
Halifax's municipal council is embarrassingly slow to make meaningful changes, and council and the provincial government have been in a pissing match about housing for years now. Our housing situation is truly dire. Although I want NS and Halifax to grow, I especially want our government to work on making sure newcomers and existing residents can both afford to create a safe home and put down roots in their communities. If that somehow happens, then bring on even more growth.
Interesting report.
