Saint John (NB Route 1), Fredericton, and Moncton (NB Route 2) are connected by freeways on the provincial highway network. Those are the major cities in New Brunswick. After those, it's cities/towns of ~20-35k (Bathurst, Miramichi, and Campbellton) that are unconnected.
In context, the demand for rural regions of that size to have freeway connections to larger centres is an outlier. Even the United States doesn't generally extend its freeway networks to such places, unless it is part of a path between two major points.
I'm curious about what constitutes 'major' in an Ontario/Quebec context, because both Thunder Bay (~120k) and Sudbury (~170k) still remain unconnected, albeit with the latter slowly getting there.
Gatineau is technically unconnected to the rest of Quebec if the standard is intra-provincial freeway.
