Hello everyone!

The Maritimes are the most downtrodden region of Canada (except for the territories), and have been unloved pretty much since the British took it from the French way back in the day. The point of this thread is to reverse this situation.

Challenge 1: What would be the best way to have the border between Nova Scotia->New Brunswick and Massachusetts->Maine be set at the Penobscot River after the ARW? And keep that river as the border until the present day?

Challenge 2: Is there any way to keep Cape Breton separate from Nova Scotia and have it join Canada as its own province? Also, is there any way to keep Gaelic as a surviving language of the island province, at least on par with French in OTL New Brunswick?

Challenge 3: How do we get Halifax to both have an urban population of at least one million, a metro population of at least two million, and have one of the ten busiest ports in the world? And how do we get Charlottetown to become a sort of "artistic capital" with painters, musicians, etc, flocking to the city?

Challenge 4: How do we get the region as a whole to become a powerful centre of industry? Especially aerospace?
