Is “Cape Cod Canada” Prince Edward Iceland?
After having several ads on the smallest province in Canada as a result of the research, PEI sounds very similar to Cape Cod, Massachusetts as a place home resort / holiday. Is that a fair description? Reply

on Cape Cod, but it is true that the island is a huge tourist destination and place of summer resort for many gens.Certains PEI is very rural and beautiful, with farms, rolling hills and beautiful sea view. Some of them are really tourist theme parks, souvenir shops, motels, etc. Charlottetown a pleasant town with a few interesting things to faire.Je think there is more money for Cape Cod …. and postcards, etc. I’ve seen look more like Nova Scotia on the Island, but I could be wrong.
PEI has 3 major industries agriculture, fishing and tourism. Unfortunetly all 3 are dying out. PEI is slowly becoming one of the poorest provinces in Canada.
As far a PEI being a tourist vacation province yes it is true and that is common to Cape Cod. There are many seasonal homes here on the island many are owned by some of our weathier islanders but most are owned by people from away who come for one or two months of the year.
Most of our employment force is seasonal, our office jobs, computer tech jobs or skilled trade jobs are not always paid fairlier in comparison to the rest of the country (even atlantic canada alone) if you are paid well you do not always work a full time work week, and odds are you are employed by someone from away.
