What does PEI stand for in Canada?

P.E.I. is the abbreviation for Prince Edward Island.

In speaking and in informal writing, P.E.I. is often used instead of Prince Edward Island.

2) If he had died, the Indian nationalists would have unleashed hell.

Nothing similar applies in this case.

...no-liquid hunger...

Is that anything like leaving out the Bloody Mary celery stick? Oliveless Martinis? Removing the pickles in beer? Total lifestyle change. None for me, thanks.
