Q&A: Shaun Majumder left the bright lights of L.A. for Atlantic Canada, and says he couldn’t be happier

Shaun Majumder, the well-known actor and comedian from Burlington, N.L., has recently made the decision to leave his life in Los Angeles and move with his family to Halifax. The move was prompted by a variety of reasons, including the political climate in the United States, wildfires that forced him to evacuate his Los Angeles home, and a desire for a change in lifestyle.

Majumder, who has always been proud of his Newfoundland roots, expressed his happiness at being back in Canada. He explained that the decision to move had been on their minds for some time, and recent events just solidified their choice. The chaotic events in the U.S., combined with the escalating political situation and the wildfires, made it clear to him that it was time to make a change.

The actor and comedian shared his relief at being back in Canada, where he feels a sense of stability and safety that was lacking in Los Angeles. He highlighted the differences in healthcare systems between the two countries, pointing out the exorbitant cost of insurance in the U.S. compared to the comprehensive coverage provided in Canada.

In terms of his career, Majumder is excited about the opportunities that being in Halifax will bring. He mentioned his upcoming comedy tour in Newfoundland and Labrador, as well as his involvement in various projects shooting in Canada. With the Canadian dollar’s current exchange rate making it more attractive for American productions to film in Canada, Majumder sees this as a perfect opportunity to work on Canadian stories and projects.

Overall, Majumder is looking forward to being back in Canada, where he can continue to pursue his passion for storytelling and comedy in a safe and comfortable environment. He expressed his enthusiasm for the future and the opportunities that lie ahead in his career as an actor and comedian.
