To have a healthy body and mind a person needs to have enough good quality food. This is especially true for children and youth. It is one of the key ways to prevent illness. Lack of enough healthy food results in physical and mental problems – this impacts our happiness, well-being, ability to work, need for […]
MADD Monument and Mental Health
MADD is putting up a monument / memorial on PEI – so MADD Central president Crystal Costain Gillis and I were out looking for potential sites. At the Swimming Rock in Stanley Bridge we both commented on the Island’s beauty and peacefulness that sometimes we take for granted. It reminded me of those Islanders that […]
Trivers Questions – SC on Health and Wellness – Mar 7, 2017
Nursing homes cost about $5400 per month per bed (hospitals between $17,000 and $37,000 per month per bed!). IDEA: Provide funding to help seniors live with loved ones instead of in nursing homes / hospitals. Give a monthly fee to the caregiver household, provide home care check-ups, and give the option to go to a […]

Need Tax Help? It’s Available
Taxes are complicated – too complicated – and government needs to work to simplify them. Implementing a Basic Income Guarantee and raising the basic personal tax amount may help – but that’s another discussion. In the mean time a lot people, especially low-income Islanders, don’t file their taxes and miss out on money available to […]
Education – What’s Missing? A Millennial’s Perspective
Recently the conversation about our education curriculum has re-surfaced because of changes being made in both Nova Scotia – to add mental health / addictions, and Ontario – to add financial skills. Here is a paper written by Islander Erika MacDonald as part of her final year of International Development Studies and Political Science at Saint […]

New Transit to Cavendish and Area!
One of the biggest concerns of employers in District 18 Rustico-Emerald is the ability to get enough employees during the tourist season. One reason is that people are available to work, but don’t have the ability to get to where they are needed in New Glagsow, North Rustico, Cavendish and Stanley Bridge. It is great […]
EI Regions on PEI
This is a federal government issue, but one I get questions about. There are two Employment Insurance (EI) regions on PEI, and they have different “characteristics” based on their different unemployment rates (for period Feb 12, 2017 to Mar 11, 2017 below): Charlottetown (7.6% unemployment rate) Prince Edward Island (13.3% unemployment rate) Here is the […]
