IF uniting the four Atlantic Canadian provinces is a bad idea since each province is culturally distinct and should have its own government and capital
THEN is it not logical to ask,
should new provinces be created for culturally distinct sub-regions each with a capital and government?
1.Split Labrador from Newfoundland
2.Split French speaking Acadia from New Brunswick
3.Split Cape Breton from Nova Scotia
No, it is not logical to ask that. If it makes no sense to change one thing, that does not necessarily imply that another thing must be changed.
I know that you're grasping at straws, trying to get people to agree with you, but it won't work unless you can come up with a reason. So far, you haven't.

The Maritimes need to figure something out.
Their young people are leaving in droves for Alberta and The West.
The unemployment rate in the Maritimes is the highest in the nation.
Quite logical if the federal gov't gave up some power to the provinces who could then use a bit more self-determination rather than people with no clue how others lives are having complete say (except for Kebec, of course; it being its own nation).
Canadians aren't the same so it's a bit stupid to treat them that way after you've decided that one or more groups are distinct.
I don't know what a atlantic union would accomplish other than a shiny new name and millions spent switching around the governments to a incredibly similar likeness to their current forms.The only thing that the atlantic provinces have in common is the vast mostly unpopulated spaces between cities.
The individual provinces aren't taking full advantage of their own resources, what makes people think that one big province would?
