You know it's funny... I actually kind of like that internally there is some residual identity (the fact that Bedford still has a small town feel to it, the gritty feel of Dartmouth, how people from Cole Harbour are proud of Crosby etc). It is in terms of governance and presenting a face to the rest of the world that I feel like we need to grow up and just be one city. We can't have a council that pits one area over another, and we can't market ourselves as a "region" rather than a grown up city.
