The Maritimes provinces (PEI, New Brunswick & Nova Scotia) consist of the smallest provinces in Canada and all border the Atlantic Ocean. If you add Newfoundland these four provinces are referred to as the Atlantic provinces (Newfoundland is an Island in the Atlantic)

Beyond that there is very little in terms of geography that makes it different then the rest of Canada. However there are some large differences in terms of culture within the Maritimes vs the rest since it is the part of Canada that was first colonized and hence people have the longest history in. Add to this a long history of employment relating to the sea and you have many of the reasons for the difference in culture.

The province of british Columbia is separated from the rest of Canada?

British Columbia is not physically separated from the rest of Canada, as it shares borders with the provinces of Alberta and the territory of Yukon. However, it is geographically isolated from much of the country due to the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Ocean to the west. This unique positioning contributes to its distinct cultural and economic identity within Canada. Additionally, the province's rugged terrain and limited road access can create a sense of separation from the eastern provinces.
