That's a very good point. I didn't think of that.
I still think there was curiosity over the Avenir Centre too.

I didn't specifically state that those were Haligonians coming up to Moncton. I just said PEI and NS plates. And, yes, Moncton is more convenient to shop in than Halifax for about half the region's population.

Our Bass Pro Shop is nicer than your Bass Pro Shop. I know, I was down in Halifax the other weekend and checked yours out.
We're opening a new Costco in Moncton next month. It'll be the largest one in Atlantic Canada.

IKEA is crazy busy - no question. It's a big draw for Halifax. No argument from me on this one.

Not on the same scale, no but the constant belittling of Moncton by Haligonians gets tedious after a while, and occasionally I feel the need to stand up to it.
