Most people I know in Halifax have jobs, and do no more whining than people anywhere else.

Do you have opinions about other populations of people based on where they happen to live? I'd be curious to hear a few.

Having been to Halifax I can say that I found the people there to be just like people 'most everywhere: hard-working, decent sorts with families and who want to get ahead a bit.

That's not to say that the others don't exist, but I strongly doubt that they are in the majority or even a significant minority. My comments were not addressed to the vast majority of Halifaxes.

And my last comment was addressed to maple leaf boy - I understood the thrust of your remark.

As for Halifax, it is a city of, what? around 300,000 people - how many people took part in the anti-sealing protest - 500 at most? 200? 75? I suppose the rest were too busy whining and not looking for work.

Note as well that Halifax has, at my last count (awhile ago), eleven institutions of post-secondary learning. As a consequence, the city has at any given time a large number of "temporary" residents who as such cannot be said to have had their characters greatly influenced by whatever it is in the water there that turns people into shiftless whiners. I don't suppose any of these short-term residents would have been participating in the protest ...
