Accessibility at Palliative Care Facility

Leave a Comment

My wife is currently a patient at the Palliative care facility in Charlottetown. With the exceptional good weather over the last month I have been taking my wife out for walks in her wheelchair. I am amazed that a cross walk across Murchinson Lane at the entrance into this facility doesn’t exist. But they are […]

High Speed Internet

10 Comments

Hi, I moved to Stanley Bridge PEI six months ago. Not sure if this is the right place to raise this issue but it’s worth a try. We are currently on DSL Internet with Bell Aliant and was hoping to eventually have access to the High Speed Fibre which is running on our road on […]

Question stemming from the Maritime Electric new substation and power transmission line on Smith Road / Millvale Road / St. Mary’s Road: “Dept of Environment and Dept of Transportation are the departments involved – what are their consultation policies?

Rte 239 – Civic number conflict – rename to St Patrick’s Road South

Leave a Comment

The name of St. Patrick’s Road was used for decades on the sign at Rte 2 just west of Hunter River, but four years ago they changed it to Rte 239. As it ends up the province had made a mistake because further down on Rte 239 is another section called “St. Patrick’s Road” and there […]

Stanley Bridge roundabout – a four-way stop was all that was needed

Leave a Comment

stanley-bridge-roundabout-location

The 3-way stop at the Stanley Bridge intersection (St. Mary’s Road and Rattenbury Road) was confusing for tourists.  To solve the problem the Department of Transportation designed and issued a tender for a roundabout – without consulting any local residents or businesses (they found out by reading the tender notice in the newspaper).  A cheaper […]

Electoral reform / democratic renewal process is biased

Leave a Comment

The  Premier’s comments regarding electoral reform show that the process is biased against mixed member proportional representation.  It seems that he is pushing to keep first-past-the-post but with a preferential balloting method in place. References The Guardian – Feb 6, 2016 – Wade MacLauchlan’s comments leave electoral reform on life support Then the premier fired holiday broadside […]

Improve Brookvale Ski Park and eliminate $380,000 per year cost to taxpayers

Brookvale Ski Park budget

“Why can’t Brookvale Ski Park operate with a profit?  It is forecasted to lose $380,900 in the 2015-2016 budget. For example if the Lodge was renovated with a licensed restaurant like most other ski hills it should be able to generate additional revenue.  Also, to improve customer service, on busy days 4 passengers per chair lift […]

# of students in classes in primary

Leave a Comment

class-size-cartoon

We need to regulate the number of students in primary classrooms. Having over 20 students with one teacher in primary is not conducive to the most positive early school experience.   Notes All teachers and parents concerned with class size should contact their Principal, PEI Teachers Federation Union Representative, and Family of Schools District Advisory Council […]

Use import/export comparison by industry to target those where trade deficit is largest

Leave a Comment

International Exports from PEI by Principal Trading Areas 2005-2014

What industries are weakest in terms of trade deficit?  We should target those areas for improvement – i.e. start producing PEI goods or services to decrease the amount spent on imports.  This may be especially easy for services. What is the breakdown of the PEI trade deficit by industry, type of spending, product or service? […]

Remove parking fees at QEH

Leave a Comment

MOTION 66 - Calling for parking fees to be eliminated at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital

The Queen Elizabeth Hospital is PEI’s main referral hospital and is the only hospital in the province of Prince Edward Island that charges fees for parking. These fees cost patients $1.50 per hour to a maximum of $7.00 per day. For many individuals and their families, these fees are cost prohibitive and can prevent family […]
