There is no question that as Halifax grows, it is becoming more of a regional draw. Things like IKEA and the prospect of a CFL team (in the future) certainly do matter.
Having said this, Moncton is self sufficient in 98% of things, and most people never have to visit Halifax unless they want to (for a change of scenery).
There are lots of cars in Moncton at Costco, Bass Pro Shops, and Champlain Place from all three Maritime provinces too. There have been (literally) bus loads of fans coming up to the Avenir Centre from Halifax to watch the Mooseheads play the Wildcats this season so far. I think some of this is curiosity about our new arena. There were also been a lot of out of province people who came to the UFC event the other night too.
It goes both ways...........
