If we want to be pedantic about whether or not the Panama Canal turns North America into an island or not, we can change the argument, and ask whether or not the Americas are an island.

What about the two non-swinging bridges across the Panama Canal (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centennial_Bridge,_Panama) -- soon to be three? If the man-made separation counts, the man-made connection should too.
