"London ON, a city of around 400,000 feels like a town of 50,000 or less. Nothing ever happens here, it's just a stop between Detroit and Toronto. UWO is the only thing that differentiates London from neighbouring St. Thomas. Contrast London with Halifax: major port, tourist city, bars stay open late, capital of Nova Scotia.. perhaps the Maritimes. Same population, ones a dud, the other is a really cool city."
True or false? |
True. Everyone across Canada knows about Halifax, but if you go outside Ontario, a lot of people either don't know there's a London in Canada, or if they do, they think it's a small town. I know from when I spent a week in the Maritimes, most of the locals I talked to didn't even know there was a London in Canada.
More than anything, I blame the lack of national media presence in London.
