The maritimes have a ton of potential.. In wealthy postindustrial societies like Canada, US, etc, aesthetics hold a lot of sway over where people choose to live.. and the maritimes are beautiful
The forces that built Cleveland and Detroit (land suitable for large factories, proximity to water transport, relative proximity to enormous iron ore deposits, etc) are not the same forces that built Denver or Phoenix or Salt Lake City.
If I were Canadian and a freelance web developer or something I would totally move to St. Johns just for the fuck of it.
I see the maritimes becoming trendy soon (if they arent already)
