The arguments about the HRM being some kind of assortment of rural areas masquerading as a city don't hold water. |
The Fredericton CMA is unusually large given the size of the city. The Moncton CMA is about 2,400 sq. km. ( but curiously doesn't include important neighbouring towns like Shediac and Sackville).
I agree, district one should not be part of the HRM.
