Sweet Nova Scotian references on Pretty Little Liars and Vampire Diaries

I can’t help myself, I love mentions of Halifax or Nova Scotia in US pop culture. It’s my number one favourite thing next to how Americans pronounce “Montreal”. Also, you and I both know that a typical Pennsylvanian teen’s response to “Spain, maybe… Halifax” is not “Halifax! Why there?” but “Halifax? Is that in Europe?”. I suspend my disbelief mostly because I like the way he tries he cram that box of Cocoa Spheres into a backpack before giving up.

Thanks to Jacob Boon for the tip.

And here’s another one from last Thursday’s Vampire Diaries! My cup runneth over. “Obscure, desolate island”? We’ve got those. And do they mean Sable Island? Won’t the vampire kill the ponies? Continuity, people.

And you can thank Lindsay Raining Bird for this one.
