Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island rejected the 72 Resolutions primarily due to concerns over the proposed terms of union with Canada, which many felt did not adequately address their economic and political needs. There were fears regarding the loss of local autonomy, potential economic disadvantages, and the implications of joining a larger confederation. Additionally, both provinces had strong regional identities and were cautious about the impact of uniting with larger provinces. These factors contributed to their decision to remain independent rather than join the confederation at that time.

What province should Prince Edward Island trade with?

Newfoundland and labrador ==================== Prince Edward Island (PEI) connects with New Brunswick via the Confederation Bridge. The mainland end of the Confederation Bridge is near the Nova Scotia border. The Woods Island ferry service runs between PEI and Nova Scotia as well. There is no direct connection between PEI and the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. It would appear to be more likely that PEI would be trading with New Brunswick and Nova Scotia ahead of the province of Newfoundland and Labrador.
