Prince Edward Island joined Confederation on July 1, 1873.
No, they did not want to join Confederation. However, John Hamilton Gray, of PEI, was in favour.
At the time PEI had a number of options. 1. Jin Canada 2. Join the United States 3. Become an independent nation 4. Remain a British Colony To make a long story short, Canada offered PEI the better deal.
Prince Edward Island (PEI) was initially reluctant to join Confederation in 1867 due to concerns over its economic viability and the potential loss of autonomy. The islanders feared that joining Canada would lead to increased taxation and that their agricultural economy would not benefit from the broader economic framework of Confederation. Additionally, PEI was apprehensive about the loss of control over local affairs and governance. Ultimately, it was only after several years of negotiations and promises of financial support that PEI decided to join Confederation in 1873.
No because if Canada builds a train track it would make a difference to PEI. If Canada builts a train track it wont even reach PEI.
