Saint John is a key part of an article in today's Globe and Mail, about the movie "Stuck" (which is/was being filmed here recently):

The author of the article calls SJ "grimy", although the lead actor (Stephen Rea) seems to like it:
Stuck on New Brunswick
Stephen Rea says he enjoyed the port city, despite spending most of his time beaten and battered on a film set

From Tuesday's Globe and Mail
SAINT JOHN — Small wonder Stephen Rea looks haggard. The Irish actor spent the previous night jammed through the windshield of a car. Later, Mena Suvari smacked him good on the head with a hammer. It's been a rough night.
With the success of V for Vendetta recently behind him, Rea is in the grimy New Brunswick port city of Saint John, filming Stuck. The film is based on the true story of a woman in Texas who committed a hit-and-run after loading up on ecstasy at a night club.

In fact, Rea and Suvari (American Beauty, American Pie) are spending five weeks in Saint John, a city the Dublin-resident actor declares an affinity for, not the least because of its questionable weather. "We've had a couple of days of that endlessly grey sky and soft rain. I think when all those thousands of Irish refugees came here from the famine, they must have felt at home."
