Recommendation:

For the quickest journey, I recommend taking a flight from Toronto Pearson International Airport to Halifax Stanfield International Airport with Air Canada or Porter Airlines. Although air travel may be more expensive than the train/bus combination, it significantly reduces travel time and provides more comfort. Upon arrival in Halifax, you can take a short bus ride with Maritime Bus to New Glasgow, which typically lasts about 1.5 hours.
