Halifax strikes me as a football town, more than anywhere else in the region at least. The St. Mary's team has been popular for quite a few years now, and notice that 3 of the 4 AUS football teams are in Nova Scotia. (As we say here, UNB football is undefeated since 1980.)
The problem is the current apathy about the CFL. With no team out here, coverage in local and regional media is almost non-existant, and fan support is about the same. If a team came to town, that would change.
