The Moncton region is taking quite a bit of heat these days - complaints about housing costs, rising homelessness, more crime, difficulties accessing health care. Much of this is based on reality - the region is growing faster that at any time in history and services are not keeping up. But, as has become my mantra - better the problems of growth than decline.
I agree with you 100%, David. From everything I'm seeing (and experiencing), business is booming.
