    Atlantic Provinces

    Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador constitute the Atlantic provinces. The three maritime provinces (NS, PEI and NB) have much in common — among other things, they share a historical and cultural heritage, and their residents have remarkably similar attitudes towards Canada, the US and Britain. Newfoundland development and Newfoundlanders have been shaped by quite different forces and personalities.
