    I love how the writers for Friends think it's a 2 hour ferry ride from Montreal to Nova Scotia.
    There was also the Episode of Friends where they wanted to do something crazy and were going to go on a fishing trip to Nova Scotia.

    Hey Ryan, thanks for the cool video. A prominent one you missed was another Friends episode, "The One Where They're Going To Party" in season 4, episode 9 when Ross and Chandler are waiting for their friend 'Gandalf' to show up so the fun can begin... Chandler explains to Joey why they're so excited: "You go out for a couple of beers and end up on a fishing boat to Nova Scotia!"

    Hooray for us! Apparently a lot more people know about our awesome little Province than we are told. Certainly, I can name quite a few big names of off the top my head who apparently love it here: Pierce Brosnan, Bruce Willis, Ozzy Osbourne, Keith Richards, Billy Boyd, Famke Janssen, Ellen Page (duh), Stephen King, Sidney Crosby (duh again), Gene Simmons, Dave Mustaine, Randy Blythe, etc. Certainly, a lot of those Musician ones could've just been saying it because it's the right thing to do when you're on Stage; and not actually remember us much. Pierce Brosnan has been here a lot though, and somewhat recently finished up shooting a Television Show or something on the South Shore; and Bruce Willis apparently has a big Summer Home only an hour or two out of Halifax. Also, that Archer Episode was pretty much the greatest thing ever; especially considering that every single Character in that Episode that wasn't a Main Character was voiced by the Trailer Park Boys LOL.

I started this project over a year ago when I was living abroad and really missing home. I applaud the Tumblr creator for doing such a great job and being as passionate as I am about Nova Scotia. Had I known about that site I would have been able to include their references and give them some classy credit where it would have been due!

    As it looks like it hasn't been mentioned, in "The Shipping News" there are several Nova Scotia references. 1) The Chronicle Herald stands in for the News paper plant Quoyle works in as an Ink setter, 2) The MacDonald Bridge is where Petal kills herself, 3) Chocolate Lake is where Quoyle gets pushed in the water by his father, and also where Anges gets humiliated by her brother (Flashback sequence), and I think 4) Inlgis street near the docks is where Quoyle lives when he is waiting to hear back from the police when Aunt Agnes arrives.

    I know that some provinces use three numbers first and three letters next on their license plates, particularly Quebec and British Columbia.
    Since I'm originally from Nova Scotia, I knew from the start that the license plate was fake as there were many errors on it, including the numbering system, bolts over the slogan, and galleon depicted as opposed to the schooner.
    In addition, the girl didn't seem to use a typical Canadian Maritime English/Nova Scotian accent.
