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
