There is no may about it. Prince Edward Island exists as I stated and is large enough to be noted on a school atlas.

You really do need to brush up on your geography if you think that the Canadian PEI is adjacent to the Gulf Stream. The Gulf Stream starts in the Gulf of Mexico travels round Florida and up the USA eastern seaboard (to round about North Carolina) before galloping off across the North Atlantic towards us lot over here. Or put it another way it doesn’t come within 1,500 miles of the PEI that is off the north coast of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. There is no PEI adjacent to the Gulf Stream unless you call 1,500 miles adjacent.

In any case at latitude 46 degrees north PEI is just a bit south of the UK and without the benefit of the Gulf Stream or more accurately the North Atlantic Drift, as Ianto.W. pointed out, their winters are for real. Without the benefit of the warming waters from the south we would have winters similar to theirs.
