As the saying goes, Context is everything.

True it is a hard situation to imagine 1 city becoming the truly dominant city in this province now and how things would be different if that were the case; but I've always been a fan of "What If?'s".

This particular line of thought was kicked off because it often comes up about how NB's been 'hurt' through the years by having 3 'big' cities (for its overall size).

But the more I've thought about it, I agree with MonctonRad's last paragraph. Now that Moncton, Saint John and Fredericton have found their strengths and weaknesses, having all three of them is beginning (if not hasn't often been) helping us. It spreads the power around and helps cut down on disparity a bit. Granted we do have a North/South division now that needs to be worked on somehow; but imagine how much worst it could be if all the power was centered in Moncton or Saint John instead of spread out like it is.
