Which of these provinces is the birthplace of Confederation?

Prince Edward Island
Nova Scotia
Ontario
New Brunswick

The correct answer is: Prince Edward Island

All of the provinces listed were involved in the creation of the Confederation, but only Prince Edward Island was considered the birthplace. In 1864, representatives from the colonies of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Ontario, and Quebec gathered in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island to discuss a union between the colonies. This meeting was known as the Charlottetown Conference and was a significant step towards the creation of Canada. While all of the provinces played a role in the Confederation, Prince Edward Island holds the title of "birthplace" due to this historic event.
