On point 1:

This particular community (AMA) was created on lemmy.ca, which is an instance of lemmy hosted in Canada, but everyone is free to use it! We have a lot of general communities like that, in addition to the ones specific to Canada

The user was likely just curious if you moved, you’re fine to post here or any lemmy.ca community :)

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

Thanks :)

No problem!

It’s hard to tell what the community is about from just the name alone

You could try posting in !mechanicalkeyboards@lemmy.ml as well!

For sure! Sorry for the delay, I wanted to sit down at a computer to make the changes properly and check over all the links, and then kept procrastinating.

They should be updated now, thank you for making those!

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