Well, okay, Newfoundland needs a bridge too in order for the whole 'unify a nation' thing to be true. How about 'It only took 12 kilometres of concrete to link PEI with New Brunswick'? Or, 'It only took 12 kilometres of concrete to unify a part of the nation with another part'? Doesn't quite have the same ring to it, does it? Oh well...if it got your attention that's what matters. It's like headlines in newspapers, movie trailers, and political speeches - they don't have to be entirely accurate, as long as they get you to read/watch/listen. Still there? Okay.
Anyways, the Confederation Bridge was built to bring New Brunswick (and the rest of Canada) together with PEI. Those 12 kilometres of concrete connect a beautiful island world with the rest of the country. No longer cut-off from New Brunswick, and the rest of Canada, PEI has a link that enables it to provide more opportunities for islanders, and still maintain the essence that makes them who they are. It's a pretty cool drive too, especially the bump in the middle.
