It's funny. What you say is a direct contradiction to that report which 
was released this week from Carleton University, saying that Atlantic 
Canadians are the hardest working, most satisfied, yet lowest paid 
employees in the country.

It is unfortunate that you didn't experience this aspect of the east 
coast. We certainly are not big city minded, nor do many of us want to 
be. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing all depends on your 
perspective, I guess.

As for Ralph Klein, I didn't take offense to what he said. I think any 
"have" province should be very thankful, and it isn't a bad thing to 
want to maintain a good economy and balanced books. I took his comments 
not as a slight to NS in particular, but rather expressing relief that 
Alberta wasn't in the same economic boat as NS.
