A few years ago I attended huge international trade shows in Houston, Abardeen and Norway where St. John's should have been competing with Halifax for business. Instead St. John's was forced to compete with Mt. Pearl. This was an embarresment because no one knew what or where Mt. Pearl was (still don't). The result was that Halifax caught most of the international attention. Mt. Pearl is still an embarressment (like a pimple on an elephant's arse). Amalgamation cannot come soon enough. God! Stund!"
What are your thoughts on this? It's an interesting point, we're not a large enough region to be competing amongst ourselves. Let's be honest here, St. John's vs. Halifax is MUCH more realistic than Mount Pearl vs. Halifax
