Just out of curiosity: Why do we keep comparing ourselves to Halifax and the shipbuilding contract? I know Saint John used to be big-time, but we're punching above our weight if we're to believe that we can compete with a city/region that has 3x the population base. I'm all for Saint John being an economic leader, don't get me wrong, but when people start pooh-poohing $1.5 billion dollar investments because they're
not as big as what other cities are getting it starts to become a bit questionable in regards to where our priorities lie. We should be happy that we can get whatever we can take at this point. Not trying to shoot you down; just generally interested in the whole mindset.
Has there been any word on tidal power lately? That whole thing seems to have fallen off the radar recently.
