Why is Europe much warmer than northeastern Canada even though they are at similar latitudes?

Europe is much warmer than northeastern Canada at similar latitudes due to the influence of the North Atlantic Drift, a warm ocean current that originates in the Gulf of Mexico. This current moderates temperatures in Western Europe, bringing milder winters and cooler summers. In contrast, northeastern Canada is affected by colder Arctic air masses and lacks a similar warm oceanic influence, leading to harsher winters and cooler overall temperatures. Additionally, geographical features and prevailing winds contribute to these temperature differences.
