In an effort to make All The Tropes a little less USA-centric than TV Tropes is (and thus differentiate the two sites somewhat more), I'm trying to get more Canadian content onto the wiki. That includes making pages for Canadian cities similar to the pages that the wiki has for American cities (and for Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver).
And to do that, I need lists of famous creators from each city and fictional works set in each city ... which I can crib from Wikipedia.
But Wikipedia doesn't have a list of fictional works set in Halifax. (It does have a list of famous Haligonians.)
So, what's set in Halifax? (does a web search) Theodore Tugboat, a bunch of non-fiction books set against the backdrop of the Halifax Explosion, and ... according to DuckDuckGo, nothing else. (wracks own brain) Trailer Park Boys is set in Dartmouth, just across the Narrows. The Surgeon's Mate, the seventh of the "Aubrey-Maturin" books, starts in Halifax.
What else? If anybody knows, so would some of the folks here, right?
