Quoting from the main Stats Canada thread:

And when Saint John was St. John, and larger than St. John’s.
Some things are cyclical in this world, and I truly think Saint John will be larger than both Moncton and St. John’s again one day. . . I just hope I live long enough to see it, or at least see the trajectory be possible.
Clearly though, Saint John will need some far more effective solutions to get more people here, and keep them here, for that to be possible, but I truly think it is possible.
Imo, the city with the third largest port in the country should be a lot bigger than the 32nd largest metro area in the country… but hopes and dreams don’t bring about sustained demographic growth… Saint John needs better strategies and better solutions.
