Everybody should wait their turn. Moncton is always trying to "out do" Halifax, when clearly it isn't in a position to do so.

Regina (200,000) and Saskatchewan (1,000,000) isn't that different than Moncton (126,000) and New Brunswick (760,000). The population is a little less, but NB is far smaller geographically. People in NB wouldn't have to drive too far to get to Moncton and there are sizable cities not too far off: Saint John (124,000) and Fredericton (80,000).
Instead of resenting Moncton for being ambitious, why not get behind them? The Maritimes are relative midgets in Canada and need to stick together rather than infighting all the time. The only one making Halifax look bad is Halifax. If Halifax wants a team, they should get off their asses and get it done rather than taking shots at another city that's trying to build something out of nothing.
It's not Moncton's fault.
