That and the CPL in existence does give me some guarded hope it may happen. Would be nice to see a stadium in Halifax that is for the Wanderers, CFL, University and community use (concerts, etc) but we shall see.

I'd personally love to see a CFL team in Atlantic Canada, but the league has been trying to put a franchise there for the past 50 years without success. The closest the CFL ever came to placing a team there was 1984, when they conditionally awarded a team to Halifax, under the condition the city built an acceptable stadium to play in. Sadly, that never occurred.
Perhaps it will be different in future, but I think that's probably a decade away from happening.
