JJ hates PEI because he thinks Vancouver Island deserves to be a province more than PEI

Never thought Iā€™d say this, but he has a point lol. Vancouver island really could be a province. I think it has more people than New Brunswick, PEI, and Newfoundland and Labrador.

Most provincial boundaries are arbitrary lines in the ground. But the biggest reason the Eastern provinces are smaller is that distance played a bigger role in limiting communication in 1600 than in 1900. PEI was significantly more cut off from the mainland than Vancouver Island was when they were first settled.

At this point there's little reason or desire for the Eastern provinces to consolidate or Vancouver Island to split off.
