Since im Halgonian i've only been on the TCH past Truro a few times. I do agree that it does need to be twinned on the mainland. What i meant by less importance was the gov' cares mostly about vehicles being able to get to HRM efficiently and safely via the 104/102 corridor. Since this is basically complete they will probably begin focusing on the remaining mainland route. The only bad spot left on the corridor is the interchange of 102/104. Currently you slow from 110 to 50 go around a tight corner then random lanes pop up and end then you speed back up to 110 in a VERY short merge lane.
