I’m going to be that jerk and say I know why the Atlantic Canada/Maritimes split happens that way - the Maritimes existed before NFLD joined Confederation, and Joey Smallwood didn’t want to presume NFLD could be included under that name, which had cultural and historical use by that point. So, Atlantic Canada was born!
