1. They were not concerned about the landholding system. Since they don't have much land compared to other colonies.

2. They have to pay tax to build the inter-colonial railway even though it doesn't reach them and the railway will be built far from PEI.

3. Felt that because of their small population, they would have a few representatives in Confederation compared to all the other colonies due to the smaller populating

5. PEI is far from the US border so even if they attack they will have enough time to run and the PEI people think if that happens the Great Britain will send troops and help PEI.
