At the end of the day the city is very closely connected to the economy of North America as a whole but I still think it will perform fairly well.

The real estate market in Halifax specifically was much more conservative than in other cities (especially in the US). The city also has big cost advantages over some other places plus a more stable mixed economy (government, health care, military, universities).

Skyrocketing real estate prices and labour shortages were never a particularly good thing.
