You're asking about ARRL section issues.  ARRL has their reason for certain sections.  Kinda like Maryland-DC which incorporates an independent state and a Federal district.

Why PEI vs. the rest of the “Maritimes”?

Seems to me that if you have PEI as a separate section, then you should also 
have NB and NS as separate sections.
And NFLD and LAB should be separate as well.

For Sweepstakes purposes, why does the ARRL remain committed to honoring new RAC
(Radio Association of Canada) ARES Sections ?  RAC ARES is splitting PEI from
Maritime, hence the new SS section.

This is the same reasoning that Ontario was split into 4 SS sections a few years
ago.

Of course, the ARRL contradicted their own reasoning by splitting Alberta and
Yukon into different SS sections, even though they are the same RAC ARES 
section.
