Similar home, same street in Halifax, but some are paying thousands more in property tax (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Halifax is lighting the match, but what happens next is up to the province.

Read excerpt
For most of us, this level of luxury vacationing is something we can only imagine, but for those with the means — it’s the only way to travel.
