Brackley Beach may be northern PEI, but the driving time is reasonable. & I don't really know. I'm going to guess 2 hours when you're not trying hard.
From Charlottetown to Halifax is 5 hours.
BTW. from N. Sydney, NS to QC is a day, and about 1,000 km.
I had a look at google maps in google.ca and they added kms galore by going almost all the way down to Halifax before turning west. My experience of Nova Scotia is that secondary roads have plenty of transport trucks on secondary roads. Or, IMHO, their route is a waste of time, gas, and $.
:C
