The Charlottetown
Conference
The Charlottetown Conference began Thursday
September 1st with a banquet for all the delegates. This conference
had representatives from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.
Newfoundland had agreed to the movement so no representative from Newfoundland.
During the first four days they focused on the Canadian Position. The
conference was held at the Province House and Government House. There wasn’t
talk of maritime plans until September sixth and seventh. Canadian delegate by
the name of George Brown looked over and discussed the constitution which was
from the British Empire. Prince Edward Island disagreed with the confederation;
they were convinced that they could achieve this several years in the future
rather than the near future. I understand that the first conference hadn’t
solved a lot but I’m sure that the Quebec Conference in a month will tie more
knots with Prince Edward Island.
