Quispamsis best community in which to live in Atlantic Canada

MoneySense magazine says the best place to live in Atlantic Canada is Quispamsis. High average incomes and low average housing costs were cited, being around $100,000 and $300,000 respectively.  Quispamsis was also named the best Atlantic Canadian place to raise children.

But some are questioning the survey saying no community in Atlantic Canada, not even Quispamsis, ranked in the top 100 communities in Canada.
