I remember an article from a few weeks back about MORE companies deciding to move to Halifax in 2020 after the pandemic hit than during the same period last year.
The big trends favouring Halifax are not really going to be hurt by covid and if anything might be moved along faster:
- More remote work that can be moved anywhere, with a preference for similar time zones.
- Dysfunction in large cities, mostly due to a comparative lack of infrastructure development in North America
- More provincial control over immigration levels, and a high desire for immigration to Canada
