What prevents government from buying local? The Atlantic Procurement Agreement has been pointed to – and so I asked for witnesses to present on it to the Public Accounts standing committee. At the October 5, 2016 presentation some of what we learned is: Detailed specifications for goods and services are encouraged, and if there is […]
Crispy Conversation – Oct 5 2016
Thanks to the almost 30 people who came out last night to discuss electoral reform options, and health care in a “town hall” for District 18 Rustico-Emerald. Very good crispy conversations over mouthfuls of apple crisp. As we discussed the 5 different electoral reform options on the plebiscite ballot, it became clear that the “devil is in […]
Amalgamation Questions

At the Standing Committee on Education and Economic Development on September 15, 2016, I was denied the chance to speak to a motion, because the chair wanted to “move on”.

I contacted the Department of Transportation, Infrastructure and Energy and they quickly got back to me with the cause and a resolution to the issue. Mailing addresses are derived by the postal […]
Province should maintain beach in North Rustico
The coastal area in North Rustico harbour that is not part of the National Park, and is not part of the Town of North Rustico should be maintained by the PEI government.
Rusticoville not used on drivers licenses
It seems that the community of Rusticoville is no longer recognized by the Department of Transportation (and perhaps the provincial government as a whole) when drivers licenses are issued. Instead the community of Anglo Rustico is used. This is a concern for the residents of the community of Rusticoville. Note that Google Maps recognizes this […]
