Now Halifax is a little over 400,000 while Moncton is nearing 140,000.

That magic 400,000 figure sounds so much larger than 287,000 but when you analyze things, not much has changed.............

Halifax was three times larger than Moncton 25 years ago and still is three times larger.

Plus le change, plus le meme chose...............
Haha, well to be fair I was trying to avoid the typical pissing contest by stating that essentially SJ & Moncton are now twin cities and have the potential to really play off of the other's strengths. Seaport in one, airport in another; industry in one, retail in another; urbanity in one, suburban diversity in another; history in one, modernity in another, etc. There are a great many ways of synergizing the two cities - then we can take on Halifax
