Jack, I'm in rural NS 12kms from Kentville just over the South Mountain of The Valley.
I spent 50+ years in Montreal which was pretty well a "you can get anything here" place as far as Canada goes.
N.S. although the birthplace of Canada, is an Economic and technological wasteland. With the small population base, Vendors/Suppliers can't stock the myriad of stuff one can find in a big centre like Montreal, Toronto or any other "big city" area in Canukistan.
