People tend to forget about other parts of central NS. Kings County is more densely populated than the Fredericton CMA. The Kings-Hants electoral district is pretty close to Fredericton in size/density and most of those people are within an hour of Halifax. The Truro CA is 45,000.
About 1/3 of the population of the Maritimes is in central NS. It's not really that far off from the Toronto-Ontario ratio. Halifax is about 3x Moncton and Toronto is about 4x Ottawa.
Likewise Halifax is about as large compared to the next largest cities as Boston is in New England. Boston is 4.6 million and Providence is 1.6 million. The idea that New England has a primate city is not very controversial.
