Yeah thanks to SSP I'm largely aware of the detrimental effects confederation did to the maritimes.
On top of that, it seems Saint John got burned by Moncton's rise, which has the bones to be a fine 2nd rate city in central Canada. Nevermind a Canadian metropolis.
Comparing the two cities' cores on Google Earth, Moncton doesn't hold a candle to Saint John. But Moncton is growing really fast.
I really feel bad for saint John, it has a great NYC-esque geography, direct access to the sea, great hinterland landscapes and a solid urban core. But there are no indications that it will thrive any time soon.
