Move over Muskoka. Word is getting out about Canada's new playground for the rich - National Post

Nova Scotia is undergoing an evolution as Americans and Europeans, as well as Canadians with deep pockets, discover Canada's new playground for the rich. People flocked to Nova Scotia during the pandemic when they realized they could have more house and a quieter lifestyle, not to mention spectacular scenery, beaches and world-famous golf. That's when Fox Harb'r owners decided to expand their exclusive five-star Fox Harb'r Golf Resort on the Northumberland Strait that separates Prince Edward Island from Nova Scotia. Ron Joyce, who helped build the Tim Hortons empire, was among the first entrepreneurs to plunge into high-end tourism in the province where he was born. He opened an 18-hole golf course and resort with a private jet runway in 2000 that receives 200 guests a season. Now, 26 years later, the current owners have invested another $45 million in a multi-year project that will add two new courses with ocean views, both opening in spring 2027. They are also building 20 luxury housing units a year. The Wallace Townhouses that went up for sale last year at a cool $1.6 million, are already 60 per cent sold, says Kevin Toth, president of Fox Harb'r Resort.

A group of Nova Scotians gathered on the waterfront in Halifax on Saturday with a message for Premier Tim Houston: allowing the construction of a large data centre will be detrimental to the environment and the community. “These companies don’t have a lot of information that they’re able to give us, we don’t know what this is gonna look like, we already have wells that are drying up in the summertime. I don’t think we can afford to do this,” Megan Boudreau, one of the protest organizers, told Global News. Energy and infrastructure company, EverWind, announced on Friday $10 billion in private investment in a data centre campus at its existing Point Tupper site. The site would be leased and run by AI development company Anthropic, the creator of the AI assistant Claude. “Canadians are using Claude in growing numbers, and we want our infrastructure to be closer to the people who rely on it,” said Jacob Glick, head of Canada Public Policy with Anthropic.
