Oil Burner Regulations

Leave a Comment

PEI licensed oil burner technician

Changes are planned to the “Boilers and Pressure Vessels Act Regulations” that will require all oil burner work to be done by license oil burner mechanics (important primarily because of the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning).  This means they have to be a factory-trained technician in a specific type of oil burner, and/or have a […]

MacLauchlan Has Already Chosen “FPTP + Leaders”

October 31, 2016 by Brad Trivers 2 Comments

I’m going to make a prediction with regards to PEI’s plebiscite on electoral reform we are voting on right now (read up on it at this link www.yourchoicepei.ca). The MacLauchlan government isn’t necessarily going to honour the results of the plebiscite. MacLauchlan wants FPTP + leaders. With it, he gets his seat automatically and is […]

“Plus Leaders” Option Very Dangerous

August 25, 2016 by Brad Trivers 1 Comment

Electoral Reform Plebiscite - Brad Trivers

I have many criticisms of the “Electoral Reform” plebiscite being held this fall by Elections PEI, (see video below). UPDATE – VIDEOS SPLIT UP – Video Split – Special Committee on Democratic Renewal But, what is really worrying me right now is the “First-Past-The-Post (FPTP) plus Leaders” option – which has the potential to have a very […]

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 […]

Electoral reform plebiscite and not referendum

Leave a Comment

Electoral reform will be decided by a “plebiscite” as per the White Paper on Democratic Renewal (excerpt below). A referendum is a legally binding public vote on a matter of public interest. This means the government that initiated the referendum must take necessary action that changes or implements new legislation and programs in response to the result […]

MLA pay raise too soon

Leave a Comment

“MLA’s were given a pay raise too soon after the 2015 election.” Notes The PEI Indemnities and Allowances Commission is responsible for determining if and when MLA’s receive salary increases. “The Indemnities & Allowances Commission is established under Section 46 of the Legislative Assembly Act to review and recommend salary and benefits for the members […]
