My guess is next year the league has ability to move games like the Halifax one to a different date where its not in the middle of the CPLs biggest potential week for earning respect in its inaugural year.
That said, the team and the league aren't exactly flush with money, and a rescheduled 7h flight to Halifax may be tough to squeeze in later on. Edmonton game a few days after could be adjusted as well, but if we get through to the Finals there's a few week break I think.
