During public consultations, environment Minister Robert Mitchell committed to bringing the Water Act to the floor of the legislature in the spring 2017 sitting unless “political reasons” did not allow. Unfortunately, the Water Act was not brought to the floor for review and debate in Spring 2017. Presumably the “final” version of the Water Act […]
Education Forum – A Conversation With Finland
Update: Here is the link to the Facebook Live video of the Education Forum on July 24, 2017 As part of his Education Policy, Progressive Conservative leadership candidate Brad Trivers has announced that Prince Edward Island needs to review top-ranked education systems in the world and adopt educational best practices. PEI should adopt best-in-world education […]
Make Fixing Roads A Priority
When it comes to getting #backtobasics with priorities for spending taxpayer money, infrastructure, especially roads, is at the top of most Islanders’ list. That’s why it upsets me that there are still roads littered with potholes – and it’s July. Not only to bad roads cause damage to cars, but they impact tourism, they influence […]
Bringing In The Traps 2017
The spring lobster season came to an end on June 30th in North Rustico. I must have done too good a job last year, because Joey Gauthier asked me back to help him land his gear 🙂 Seriously though, what a privilege to be on the crew of the “Julie Ann Jamie” as we hauled […]
Beach Parking at North Rustico Harbour Blocking Traffic
People park at the North Rustico Harbour, especially on Breakwater Road, to get access to the beach (free). The road narrows down to one lane, is sometimes blocked. This causes problems for locals in accessing their property, and there are many times where a fire truck or ambulance may not be able to get through […]
Support for Island Communities
Island communities are strong and will continue to thrive if our government gets back to basics – supporting communities by focusing on Infrastructure (roads, affordable energy, high speed internet), Education and Health Care.
Universal Basic Income Forum
Thanks to working group panelists Sidney MacEwen, Michelle Jay, Jane Ledwell and the other passionate and intelligent participants – great discussion on Universal Basic Income. Poverty is a complex thing, but a Basic Income Guarantee has the potential to drastically reduce it in a way that gives people a hand up – not just a […]
School Food Programs
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 […]
