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.

From wikipedia ......The
Gulf Stream, together with its northern extension, the
North Atlantic Drift, is a powerful, warm, and swift
Atlantic ocean current that originates in the
Gulf of Mexico, exits through the
Strait of Florida, and follows the eastern coastlines of the
United States and
Newfoundland before crossing the Atlantic Ocean.........
if you notice, your school atlas will show , probably in the pages showing the British Empire.....Newfoundland is
north-east of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick (which PEI is adjacent) therefore one would logically assume that the Gulf Stream passes this area before reaching Newfoundland and then swinging out into the North Atlantic .
