Prince Edward Island (PEI),more specifically Charlottetown, claims to be "the birthplace of Canada" because a "founding meeting' was held there. - if you are a Canadian "birther". More specifically, this "birthing" conference was held in a meeting room, in the building shown in the link below.

Oddly as it seems, even though it claims to be the birthplace, PEI did not join Canada until three or four years after this "birthing conference. At the time, PEI was undecided, as The United States had also been making overtures to PEI to join the republic and had dispatch informal delegates to promote this option.
