Until recently, polls seemed to point to a Conservative sweep in Atlantic Canada. Justin Trudeau’s resignation—and chaos south of the border—has changed that. Our Atlantic correspondent @trevcorkum unpacks how the NDP is fighting to win the region over: https://t.co/12zsGNK2hk

“As record population growth reshapes its culture and outlook, Atlantic Canada may be on the cusp of a major political earthquake.”

@trevcorkum explores how rising tensions and economic struggles could drastically transform the region’s political scene:

"Imagine you’re on a desert island and can only listen to three songs from #SarahMacLachlan, #AlanisMorissette, #CelineDion, and #shaniatwain in total for all eternity, what three songs would you choose?" https://t.co/rOmkGETtrt @ecwpress @trevcorkum

Roundabouts are undoubtedly a good thing. Decades of studies show that traffic circles greatly improve flow and reduce collisions overall. That doesn’t stop some people from complaining about them, though, writes @trevcorkum.

For writer @trevcorkum, “the roundabout is an almost perfect metaphor for Prince Edward Island today, a democratic meeting place where long-time Islanders, new residents, and visitors converge and make way for one another.”

If you've travelled to PEI lately, you might be a little dizzy from all the roundabouts. Loved working on this piece for @thewalrus.

[The Walrus @thewalrus]

“Driving across PEI today, you might notice that there are more roundabouts than Tim Hortons coffee shops, which is saying a bunch if you know how much Maritimers adore their Timmies.” Writer @trevcorkum explores how PEI fell in love with roundabouts:

[The Walrus @thewalrus]

When PEI got its first roundabout, in 2006, Islanders were skeptical about what came to be known as “the bagel.” Today, “it’s hard to find a corner of the province where some iteration of these traffic circles has yet to sprout,” writes @trevcorkum.
