Lived in NB for a while prior to coming here. Sure the cost of living is much lower but so are the wages. I had 2 degrees and could only get a call centre job paying $11/hr. I'm also not bilingual so that screwed me over in NB. We'd love to move back east (i.e Halifax) but there just are not many decent jobs.
