Nova Scotia's premier is disappointed that a $1.35 million government program to boost home-sharing—partnering with Happipad—only produced 60 leases in two years. He’d hoped for better results, but the initiative fell short of expectations.

Editor’s Note: Affordable housing is a huge issue in Nova Scotia (and across Canada), so when a pricey program barely moves the needle, it stings. This isn’t just about wasted money—it’s a sign of how hard it is to solve the housing crunch, even with creative ideas. Expect more scrutiny on whether taxpayer-funded housing experiments are worth it.
