Got to agree and I live in Freddy.
NB sort of feels a bit more like many states who pick the capitol solely on location more than practicality. Saint John should have been the capital, of this there is no doubt.
As it is Fredericton has been growing at a faster pace and may even overtake Saint John's population at some point. Perhaps on a national stage Fredericton seems more influential, but locally Saint John is still the economic engine of the province, and has WAY cooler bones.
