It's weathered two industry collapses in its history--shipbuilding in 1860s and railways in 1980s--but shrugged both off and kept growing

It's not just doing well for the Maritimes either--apparently its unemployment rate is usually lower than the *national* average

Looking at its major employers, it doesn't seem to be a company or industry town--no sector or employer dominates; it's a mix

Check back in a few more years when it clears 100,000 residents...I bet that its growth will only be accelerating at that point

On *some* level, yes--probably not very extensive yet tho (it's still tiny!). I think its ability to replace imports is improving steadily

The only other two cities in the Maritimes that are growing are both provincial capitals--Halifax and Fredericton
