It’s election day in P.E.I.

Voting takes mere minutes and can help shape our province and our communities.

In the words of Susan B. Anthony, “Someone struggled for your right to vote. Use it.”

Every Christmas Eve, local school children come to Holten and Groesbeek Canadian Military Cemeteries in the Netherlands to light a candle in honour of every soldier laid to rest. This humbling display reminds us to be grateful for the peace we enjoy. Merry Christmas everyone.

Only on the Island would the Premier say at a press conference, “can we wrap er up Joey, I gotta go to the bathroom” 😂😂. Bravo @dennyking

@Tim_Banks @kerrywcampbell @CBCPEI @dennyking @MapleLeafs Respectfully, I thought the question was reasonable and the answers +++ testy. The premier (and ME rep) much more forthcoming in the next day’s presser. We are a week into it and I still have little sense of whether my power will be back in a day a week or longer

Hiding this person from sight while continuing to provide them with a comfortable lifestyle is not justice. Further steps must be taken to follow up and ensure this doesn’t happen again.
