That seems to be the consensus these days.
I feel that out of the top potential locations for CPL teams in Canada, 2 of them, arguably 3, are in Atlantic Canada.
They're in that rare sweet spot of being both isolated enough to be the only real (pro) sports show in the entire province, while having a sufficiently large local population to still get decent crowds on colder spring/fall nights.
Finding capable and dedicated ownership groups will always be the biggest hurdle though. I'd love to see more ownership arrangements with foreign clubs like what Atlético Madrid have with Ottawa.
