it lost almost 40% of the people at one time to the United States..
When was this? I assume PEI's economy went into the toilet at the same time the US's northeast took off to have an effect like that.

States was still in depression from what I read until ww11. It appears the war took US out of its economic problems.
Yes. The US economy had pulled partly out of the depression by 1937- -then another market crash hit and took it down again. But soon after that time the US gov't woke up to what was going on in Europe and started re-arming. Then came Pearl Harbor and the German declaration of war on the US. No more depression.

Or, as they put it in the '60s: "Kill- -it stimulates the economy." :-)
