Again, Halifax is Canada's smallest and least influential regional metropole......

Halifax is in the Top 12, and when you remove the southern Ontario cities that are greatly influenced by Toronto due to proximity (Hamilton/Kitchener/maybe London), Halifax is more likely 9th in terms of largest influential regional metropole

Halifax (Regional Municipality) may be about 23% of the Maritimes population, however the areas surrounding Halifax (Valley, South Shore, Truro/New Glasgow) are all dependent on Halifax for many services which increase the power of Halifax within the province. These nearby areas that go to the "city" on a regular basis push the regional population of Halifax towards 700,000 (nearly 40% of the Maritimes).
All Major media outlets are based in Halifax, the only proper airport is in Halifax, Children's Hospital, IKEA etc.
