I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

  • I agree and went back and forth on whether I should manually edit the thumbnail in the post. The DeArrow project is cool for replacing clickbait thumbnails, but I didn’t see an easy way to paste a link and get the alternate thumbnail.

    The video itself seemed decent and informative for people unfamiliar with Canadian history. As for potentially interesting things it mentioned

    Why it has a lower population:

    • before the bridge in 1997, it was hard to access
    • economy was based around farming and shipbuilding, with fewer natural resources to extract, which didn’t support faster population growth from immigration and investments

    Why people settled there:

    • large coastline with relatively warmer waters, which made it comfortable than nearby provinces
    • the soil was good for farming, specifically potatoes, producing 1/4 of Canada’s potatoes and historically being an important province for food security

    Why it is its own province:

    • being an island made it geographically distinct and the people living there valued self governance and independence compared to nearby provinces
    • eventually due to debts and other economic reasons, it joined the rest of Canada to relieve the financial strains, on the condition that it remains a separate province

    Then the video talks about what advantages this history provides, and some other fun facts














  • Wow this one is fun, got a few close ones! I was very close on the last one, for the year…
