Why Is there only a half hour time difference in nova scotia?

Answer 1

Actually, depending on which province you are in your perspective to the question will change. Nova Scotia (PEI and New Brunswick) is actually an hour later then Ontario and Quebec and 1/2 hour earlier then Newfoundland. The reason that NFLD and NS are only 30 minutes apart is because NFLD is further north then NS, PEI and NB and only extends slightly further east then the rest of the maritimes.

Answer 2

Nova Scotia is in the Atlantic Time Zone (AST), which is only one hour ahead of Eastern Time (ET). This slight time difference is due to Nova Scotia's geographical location along the Atlantic coast of Canada.
