Halifax has alaot of tragic history. The titanic sank not far off shore and the dead were brought here. Two ships colided off shore, one was a ammunitions boat, and they exploded and kill 2000 on shore! A flight from NYC to Switzerland crashed here also. These are reminders to the locals that life is not always as idilic as it seems here. They have held onto their traditions. Lobster is their biggest fishing crop and blueberries their biggest agriculture crop.
