Tuesday, 7 March 2023 King makes it official: Prince Edward Island election to be held April 3 | |
The Writ Podcast - Ep. #85: China, Alberta, PEI, and the odds of a spring election
119 candidates running in P.E.I. provincial election as deadline passes
Greens, Liberals, Island Party not running a full slate of 27 candidates
Election's P.E.I.'s deadline for candidates to register was 2 p.m. AT, on Friday and this time around there are 119 people running — compared to 105 in 2015 and 109 in 2019.
There are five parties fielding candidates, plus four Independent candidates, to give P.E.I. its highest number of provincial election candidates ever.
Here is the number of candidates per party:
- PCs: 27 of 27.
- Greens: 25 of 27.
- Liberals: 25 of 27.
- NDP: 27 of 27.
- Island Party: 11 of 27.
Election's P.E.I. sent out the official list Friday afternoon after nominations closed. It also said voter information cards are being delivered to voters registered with the arm's-length agency that runs the vote.
Advance voting days are March 25, 27, and 31. Election Day is Monday, April 3.
Only PCs and NDP have full slate of candidates
The PCs under Dennis King and the NDP under Michelle Neill are the only two parties running a full slate of candidates in P.E.I.'s 27 districts, with the Greens and Liberals each running 25.
For the first time in more than 100 years, the Liberal Party is not running a full slate of candidates. Looking through election results throughout the decades, 1919 is the last time there wasn't a full slate for the Liberals.

election call right after the Canada Games cost the party some of its
volunteers — and potential candidates. (Shane Hennessey/CBC)
"Unfortunately, the PCs had the advantage of knowing they were triggering the election call on the heels of the closing ceremonies of the 2023 Canada Games, when many of our volunteers had given their 'all' to make the Games successful for P.E.I.," the Liberal Party said in a release.
"In two districts, we have very interested parties who were considering offering their name for public service in the fall of 2023. Yet with the early call, it was not possible to muster the volunteers and make the necessary arrangements. Unfortunately, Premier King did not allow a reasonable window. As a result, we do not have candidates representing Districts 8 or 19."
Leader Sharon Cameron said the party is "not deterred" by being unable to run candidates in two districts, but said with the early election call, "that's the hand we've been dealt."

running for the party are strong ones. (Brittany Spencer/CBC)
Green Party Leader Peter Bevan-Baker says the timing of the election campaign made it hard to attract candidates. He said he does not believe he needs 27 candidates running to win a majority and form government. He hopes voters will look at the quality of the 25 candidates he has.
The general cruelty and ugliness that can be associated with politics everywhere is another part of it.
— Peter Bevan-Baker
He also said he had many conversations with potential candidates who said the way some citizens treat elected officials in public and online makes running for office a tough sell.
"The general cruelty and ugliness that can be associated with politics everywhere is another part of it," Bevan-Baker said.
"People get too hung up, perhaps, on whether you have an absolutely full slate. So I'm actually feeling good about where we are in terms of the numbers, but particularly in terms of the quality of the candidates that we have."

Liberal candidate Jessica Simmonds running as Independent in District 14
After leaving Liberal Party, Simmonds is running in her home district
Former Liberal Party candidate Jessica Simmonds is now running as an Independent candidate in District 14: Charlottetown-West Royalty.
Simmonds was originally running for the Liberals in District 10: Charlottetown-Winsloe before questions about her Indigenous heritage reached the party.
According to the Liberals, an outside group shared concerns about the matter. Simmonds' claim to Indigenous heritage was cited in Liberal Party materials, including references to Simmonds' Indigenous beliefs and medicine walks.
Simmonds said she was asked to step down by the Liberals days after her nomination in late February.
She responded in an emailed statement saying: "Let me be clear: I am a woman of Indigenous heritage. Both my maternal great-great-grandparents were of Indigenous descent. I have been a member of the Native Council of Prince Edward Island since 2017, when the Native Council performed an extensive review of our family tree.
"I will not speculate on the real reason why I was asked to step down. I do not believe the purity of a person's race should ... be the criteria for elected office."
Simmonds is now running in the district where she was born, raised and resides, according to her Facebook page.
She's running against five other candidates in District 14, the most contested district in this election so far. The six candidates are, alphabetically by last name:
- Bill Cann, Island Party.
- Nick LeClair, Green Party.
- Kristi MacKay, Progressive Conservative Party.
- Gord McNeilly, Liberal Party.
- Jessica Simmonds, Independent.
- Simone Webster, New Democratic Party.

Ahava Kálnássy de Kálnás to lead Island party candidates in first P.E.I. election since 2011
SOURIS, P.E.I. — The Island party has announced its candidates for the 2023 P.E.I. election, and the party has a new leader.
Ahava Kálnássy de Kálnás will take the reins for a party that returns to the ballot on April 3 for the first time since 2011.
Kálnássy de Kálnás was one of several tenants who recently fought an eviction from landlord D.P. Murphy Inc., winning last month.
This experience and others with the legal and medical systems began the path to politics, Kálnássy de Kálnás said in a March 10 SaltWire Network interview at their home in Souris.“(That legal battle) brought us all to an understanding that we can all come forth and tell our truth and speak our truth to power, and that the truth, the law, will prevail.”
“(That legal battle) brought us all to an understanding that we can all come forth and tell our truth and speak our truth to power, and that the truth, the law will prevail.” – Ahava Kálnássy de Kálnás
Platform
Paul Smitz, party president, and four candidates or potential candidates, gathered at Kálnássy de Kálnás’ home to officially announce the selection as leader.
The party platform includes rescinding the Municipal Government Act, holding regular town hall meetings to get public feedback, and implementing recall legislation to remove dishonest MLAs from power.
“The (MGA) takes away people’s rights, and it's a violation of the charter of rights,” Smitz said. “To rectify those mistakes, individual citizens have to pay a huge amount of money to go to court, the legal fees, to challenge it.”
More personally, Kálnássy de Kálnás is running in part to bring more diversity to the legislative assembly.
Kálnássy de Kálnás is a queer Jewish person, who is also disabled. Disability became a key interest when they were injured falling down the stairs of their apartment last year.
This year, still using a wheelchair, Ahava Kálnássy de Kálnás has found there is little support for disabled people trying to enter politics to make things better for other disabled people.
“Health P.E.I. and AccessAbility have not collaborated to provide me with disability support even though I asked them to do so. And I also asked them for their program for disability support for full exercise of democratic rights, and I haven’t even received a copy of what that support is,” they said.

Meet Neil Emery — gravedigger, fireworks specialist and all-round odd jobber: Slash Workers
'You gotta be flexible if you’re living on this sandbar'
For Neil Emery, heading to odd places is just another day on the job.
"You don't got time for all the jobs that I do," said the eastern P.E.I. native.
This summer, we're highlighting people on P.E.I. who are "slash workers" like Emery — Islanders who work more than one job at a time.
Emery works as a gravedigger, a fireworks specialist, and he also runs a modelling agency.
"You gotta be flexible if you're living on this sandbar. I just can't be stuck doing one job. I don't know how you people in the offices and so forth can work in the offices. That would drive me crazy," he said.
He can work anywhere from four to 60 hours a week, depending on the jobs he has lined up.
"If you only have one job the security of that job is unknown because you don't know if that company is going to go bankrupt or if it's going to go out of business or if they're going to give it to somebody from away," he said.
Seizing opportunities
Emery is a gravedigger with the Southern Kings and Queens Funeral Co-op in Murray River, P.E.I., as well as its president.
"It's great exercise," he said. "I've had some of my girlfriends and ex-girlfriends help me dig graves."
For Emery, right, working somewhere different is just part of the job. (Submitted by Neil Emery)
Emery was roped into the job by one of his buddies more than 20 years ago. What he thought was some work to dig some fence posts turned out to be digging graves in Cardigan, P.E.I.
The first hole he dug he hit a coffin, but it wasn't enough to deter him. Emery has buried more than 2,000 people since 1994.
"With work and stuff being around here, you have to be able to, even if an opportunity comes up, take it because somebody else is going to take it if you don't," said Emery.
A spark of inspiration
Emery's work with fireworks also started with just a spark of inspiration. He saw no one was offering those kinds of services on P.E.I. and decided to start his own business. He claims he has the only all-female pyrotechnics team in Atlantic Canada.
"Again, I don't know why I got my girlfriends licensed to do explosives, but anyway, life goes on," joked Emery.
Emery says he decided to start his own business as a fireworks specialist after he saw a need for the services on the Island. (Submitted by Neil Emery)
He organizes fireworks displays for parties and town celebrations, and operates indoor pyrotechnics displays for concerts.
When Emery isn't busy as a gravedigger or fireworks specialist, he also runs a modelling agency. He's organized background acting work for television and film shoots here on P.E.I., including Pogey Beach.
Helping others
These are just a handful of the jobs Neil Emery has worked on over the years. For this Islander, being a slash worker means earning enough money to survive. It also means helping others find work, too.
"I try to be opportunist and I try to help out as many people as I can because when I was growing up there wasn't a whole lot of people helping me out," said Emery.
"If I can help out someone along the way for a change of something from their destiny or path or whatever it may be, I don't mind sharing my opportunities if opportunities can be shared."

Questions for Candidates
The Canadian stereotype of politeness is often dismissed by some and certainly there is no shortage of examples to prove otherwise, but I think that Maritimers may be particularly polite, if not downright friendly, as a default. With the provincial election called here on PEI this week, it reminds me that sometimes folks find it hard to strike a balance between polite and assertive when party candidates show up at their door.
I've only ever had one politician come to our house and it was years ago, when nitrate levels were the topic du jour, particularly in our potato belt district. This particular politician tried to convince me that what had been overlooked in all the hullabaloo about fertilizers, was graveyards and the amount of nitrates coming from decaying bodies. Needless to say he did not get my vote and he remains a household joke to this day.
Mark's family are not overtly political, unlike my roots. So I expected to have more politicians arrive through the years, vying for my/our affection. Then I made the move of outwardly supporting one party, which likely quashed any chances for candidate visits. *sigh*
But this year! This year, I'm a clean slate, a truly undecided voter. I'm certainly leaning but its not definitive like other years, so I'm hopeful for a door knock and an opportunity to be swayed. To prepare, I've made myself a list of topics from which I'd like to hear candidates' thoughts and figured maybe other polite Islanders might find useful as a reference.
- If you could pick two main priorities for yourself as a candidate and also for your party as a whole, what do you think they would be?
- How do you spend your leisure time?
- If you had a significant surplus, can you think of a better way to spend it than to give everyone making less than $100,000, a $500 bonus at tax time? (hint, the answer should be yes)
- Deforestation is a major concern of mine and there seems to be very little willingness to wade into the topic by government. What do you think should be done to address deforestation in the province? What can be done to encourage diverse plantings of native species on available land? Are you aware of the impacts of deforestation on a region and the greater community?
- Just what the heck is going on with the GEBIS and the land down in Kings County anyway? The whole thing is shady and I want to know what your party has planned to address the issue of land limits and those who are skirting them with loopholes. This includes the Irvings. If your party is elected, how would you address conflicts of interest in land sales when currently final approval comes from Executive Council?
- On a related topic, how do you feel about the water use legislation and the permitting process for new irrigation wells? What is your party planning for water conservation going forward? Does your party have anything in the platform regarding water use in this province?
- What's your take on the rent control situation here on PEI? Has it been fair to both renters and landlords do you think? How could we do better?
- This one is particularly for the incumbent candidate but regarding health care, it was nice to see some ideas and plans in the platform but why were these held off until an election? They seem like ideas that should have been implemented a year ago when it became clear that we were headed for disaster. Why wait until now and why should I believe that you'll implement anything now and not just decide to wait until the next time you need votes?
- And if it's an opposition candidate, what are you most proud of from your party in the last term?

Robert Lethbridge
Biography
Robert has lived in Cardigan since 1996 and has a varied history of occupations and residences during his lifetime in other parts of Canada and abroad.
While living in Alberta he was employed in the Oil Patch as a roughneck. Robert has a BA in Economics from McGill University and trained as a teacher in England. After teaching at an English language school in Cairo, he moved to PEI in 1996 where he built and owned the Gulnare restaurant and pub in Cardigan until 2008. He was also the vice chair of the Cardigan Communities Development Associate for a short period.
Healthcare became a passionate issue of Robert’s while living in Saskatchewan in the early 1960’s; the year after the doctors’ strike resulting from the NDP Government’s introduction of Medicare in the province.“Being born and raised in a country where health care at the point of delivery is free, this seemed like an issue, I should support. I have been a dedicated supporter of the NDP since that time.
Threatening letter investigated by RCMP

The anonymous letter, sent to Robert Lethbridge, threatens to harm him physically.
"It was an intimidating, threatening letter, which is worrying," said Lethbridge.
"You don't know exactly, if they're prepared to start sending letters, what else are they prepared to do? Are they prepared to escalate this thing into something more drastic? I don't know. This is the issue. This is what makes it scary."
Lethbridge says this isn't the first threat he's received. His house was egged twice in the last few weeks.
Last month, threatening comments towards Lethbridge were posted on a news website. Lethbridge believes he's being threatened because he has spoken out about the lack of a new sewage system in his community.
He and many other residents have had sewage back-up problems for many years.

Health care and doctor shortages
Prince Edward Island's health-care system has often been described as in crisis. (Evan Mitsui/CBC)
Progressive Conservative Party:
The PC Party promised to hire more physician assistants and nurse practitioners in emergency rooms, as well as hire care providers and advocates to support patients in ER waiting rooms.
The party said it will make virtual care apps free for all Islanders to reduce pressure on emergency departments, and create a task force to "expedite offload delays for ambulances and hospitals."
The PCs also promised to add four new full-time ambulances and offer free tuition for primary care and advanced care paramedics in exchange for two years of service in P.E.I. They'd also create recruitment incentives for "hard-to-recruit" paramedic positions.
They pledged up to $20,000 in annual funding to fire departments that offer medical first responder services. They said they'd give funding for organizations like Pat and the Elephant to do non-urgent transfers for medically stable patients on P.E.I.
The PCs said they'd add 16 more patient medical homes across P.E.I. by the end of 2024 and add 100 new full-time positions to support existing and future homes. They pledged to attach everyone on the Island's patient registry to a medical home in the next 24 months.
They said they will launch nurse practitioner-led walk-in clinics across P.E.I., and add tele-health access sites and in-person registration to Access P.E.I. locations.
The PCs said they'd increase capacity at primary care access clinics in Charlottetown and Summerside, and open new clinics in West Prince and Kings County.
They said they'd establish mobile primary care clinics that can provide care for "any community on P.E.I. based on need."
Create a primary caregiver grant that will provide up to $1,500 a month to someone caring for loved ones at home, who might otherwise might have to enter community care.
Establish a care in place program that will connect seniors to services and allow them to stay in their own homes longer.
Create 50 new public home-care positions in the next two years.
Increase grants for Seniors Safe at Home to $15,000 and for Seniors Home Repair Program to $8,000.
Provide rebates of up to $500 a year for home-based medical alert systems.
Green Party:
The Greens promised to open more walk-in clinics, specifically cough and fever, mobile blood work and prescription renewal clinics.
They'd also amend the Medical Act to allow nurse practitioners to "work more effectively in a collaborative practise" or to manage NP-led clinics.
The party said it will increase and improve mental health services, including adding counselling positions to family clinics and emergency rooms — and opening psychiatric urgent care clinics.
The Greens said they would amend legislation to allow physician assistants to work in health care on P.E.I. They'd create a physician assistant training program with UPEI, increase family physician residency spots from five to 10 and "make it easier for internationally trained health professionals to practice on P.E.I."
The party said it will amend the Health Services Act to "remove political interference" in the health care system, and do a feasibility study on the UPEI medical school.
Liberal Party:
The Liberals promised to engage with the Medical Society of P.E.I. to "identify physician supply and demand" and guide recruitment and retention planning. They also said they'd expand virtual care through Maple and other online health services, and increase the range and hours of walk-in clinics.
The Liberals pledged to double scholarships, financial incentives and return-in-service grants for Islanders studying medicine in other provinces.
They also said they'd establish return-in-service agreements for Island students at Canadian universities where the P.E.I. government has purchased seats, and that they would double the number of medical residency seats — including adding four new seats for students outside of Canada.
The Liberals would have the premier "assume ministerial responsibility" for health care for a two-year period.
They'd also introduce a new Patients' Rights Act that gives Islanders legal rights when it comes to timely access to health-care services.
The Liberal Party would have a dedicated minister and department for mental health and additions.
New Democratic Party:
The NDP promise to stop ER and hospital closures and cut ambulance wait times, particularly in in rural areas. They'd also improve senior care at home and create new long-term care beds.
The party also said it will provide "timely and accessible mental health care to all Islanders" and bring down prescription costs by fighting for a national pharmacare plan.
The NDP said it would "stop the privatization of our health-care system" and increase services and support for cancer patients.
The party said it would implement a caregivers benefit, increase home care supports and build more publicly-run long-term care homes.

They'd also spend at least $100 million over four years to buy existing residential and commercial accommodations and convert them into public housing.
The Greens said they'd establish a right of first refusal on the sale of multi-unit residential and commercial accommodations to ensure government has the first opportunity to buy housing. The Greens said they'd make low-interest loans available to housing developers too.
The Green Party said they'd introduce programs to address labour shortages in the construction sector.
They also promised to "protect Islanders from illegal rents by establishing a rental registry" and make the moratorium on renovictions permanent.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Health care's the big ticket so far. Here's what else happened in P.E.I. election's 1st week
There's been health care announcements by the truck load. But there's other news you may have missed.
The issues that will take the most hold during this campaign are pretty clear. They include health care and doctor shortages; housing; the economy, inflation and the cost of living; environment and climate change; education and child care; and social programs.
All of these topics has been brought up so far, with mentions either sprinkled in or poured on campaign announcements.
But without question, the big talk of the week was health care. Just take a look at Wednesday morning, when the four main parties each made a health-care policy announcement.
Here's some of the campaign promises related to health care from this week:
- The PCs said they'd reduce the patient registry to zero (from more than 28,000) and pledged to go on a hiring spree for public and at-home care, adding more physician assistants, nurse practitioners and care providers as well as buying and staffing more ambulances.
- The Greens said they'd open more public health clinics, increase mental health services, "remove political interference" in the health-care system and cut red tape to allow physician assistants to work on P.E.I.
- The Liberals said they'd offer much bigger incentives for Islanders studying medicine in other provinces to return home and work, and double the number of residency seats. They'd also have the premier be health care minister for two years and have a dedicated minister for mental health and addictions.
- The NDP said they'd bring down prescription costs by fighting for a national pharmacare program, while also focusing on cutting ambulance wait times and stopping hospital ER closures. They'd also create more long-term beds and improve senior care at home.
For the list of promises made in announcements and each party's platform as they roll out, hop over to the 2023 promise tracker page.
Surprisingly, though, there was little to no mention of COVID-19 in any announcement. The closest thing to it was the Greens' pledge to open more cough and fever clinics.
Another Week 1 talking point was the NDP becoming the first party to drop their full platform. It's not costed, but the 40-page document covers affordability, the housing crisis, job creation, education, climate change and electoral reform.
We're only a week in, so there's much more campaigning to do and only so much parties can fit into their agendas.
Moving the supervised injection site 'the big surprise'
An unexpected story was talk of moving location of the yet-to-be-opened supervised injection site from Belmont Street in Charlottetown.
At a public meeting on the issue Wednesday evening, all four candidates running in District 12: Charlottetown-Victoria Park agreed the proposed site was the wrong location.

PC Leader Dennis King confirmed Thursday that if re-elected, he would change it.
"It's been heard loud and clear from everybody that I think Belmont is not the proper place for this," he said. "And we would agree with that."
UPEI political scientist Peter McKenna said the "backtracking" on the supervised injection site was a shock to him.
"It's pretty clear, obviously, that they were concerned about potential political fallout and how that would impact them in terms of the April election and decided to dramatically change course," he said.
"That's the big surprise."
There was also news this week about candidates who are no longer with their parties.
On Monday night, at the same time King announced the election, the Greens held a nomination meeting for District 13: Charlottetown-Brighton.
Incumbent Green Ole Hammarlund was challenged and lost the nomination — a "very rare" event at the least, UPEI political scientist Don Desserud said. McKenna agreed.
Another political candidate, Jessica Simmonds, is no longer running for the Liberals in Charlottetown after questions were raised about her Indigenous heritage.
In an emailed statement to CBC News, Simmonds said "Let me be clear: I am a woman of Indigenous heritage. Both my maternal great-great-grandparents were of Indigenous descent."
What will the coming weeks bring?
When it comes to elections, provincial or otherwise, there's usually some sort of wedge issue — basically a topic divisive enough to cause political candidates to verbally brawl over.
There isn't one so far, but McKenna said the UPEI medical school has the potential to turn into a larger issue, with many details about the $120-million-plus project still needing some figuring out.
The Greens and Liberals both questioned the project this week, and both said they'd put the brakes on it if elected so they could study it even further.
McKenna is also waiting to see if land protection and ownership become important talking points in the coming days, especially following Fiona and the rock wall in Point Deroche that caused public outrage and questions around how to better protect P.E.I.'s eroding shoreline.
"That could be a potential issue that's going to grab peoples' attention. Islanders are very sensitive about land and ownership, and control," he said.
"People weren't very happy about the way that unfolded, and the regulatory decisions and cabinet intervention and approval of that project rubbed Islanders the wrong way."
Day 3 of P.E.I. election: Housing and more health-care announcements on the way
Liberal and PCs will have health-care announcements
The NDP will release the party's full platform this morning around 9:30 in Charlottetown.
The Liberals are set to make a health-care announcement at 10 a.m. in Charlottetown.
The Greens are making a housing announcement at 10 a.m. in Charlottetown, then at 1 p.m. they'll share the party plan on labour shortages and enhancing post-secondary and skills training.
The PCs are making a health-care announcement at 11 a.m. in Clyde River, and another in Abram-Village at 2 p.m.
NDP Leader Michelle Neill will make the party's full platform announcement this morning in Charlottetown and then spend the remainder of the day knocking on doors in her own District 13, Charlottetown-Brighton.
Liberal Leader Sharon Cameron will be campaigning in her own District 17, New Haven-Rocky Point after the party's health-care announcement in the morning.
Green Leader Peter Bevan-Baker will spend the morning and afternoon at the party's housing and labour announcements, and spend the late afternoon canvassing in his own District 17, New Haven-Rocky Point
PC Leader Dennis King is canvassing in his own District 15 Brackley-Hunter River for part of the morning before the health-care announcement. Then he'll be campaigning in District 24: Evangeline-Miscouche, hosting a meet-and-greet in Summerside and wrapping up the evening by door knocking in District 12, Charlottetown-Victoria Park.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Shameful.
I favour folks who run as Independents for obvvious reasons but my best advice has always been to please vote and vote for anyone you wish except the incumbent. Then perhaps with luck someday some ethical folks will find a seat in the legislative buildings.
King promises P.E.I.'s first supervised injection site won't be on Belmont Street
'I think Belmont is not the proper place for this'
Progressive Conservative Leader Dennis King says Charlottetown's supervised injection site won't be located at 33 Belmont Street after all.
King's government had previously selected the site, which was scheduled to open this spring once renovations to the building were complete.
If elected, King said his party would look at using a temporary modular unit for the supervised injection site.
"The whole idea is to get this right and that's that's been our goal. I think we've learned through this as well that we need a greater consultation and an educational understanding of what exactly these services are, why we need to offer them," King said.

Residents in the area have been voicing concerns about the location since it was first announced.

King said he doesn't believe the change happened due to the election.
"We're in the middle of an election, so I think every issue is probably political. Once again, I think we can say Belmont is not the right place without delaying the initial part of the service offering that needs to be done," he said.
"We were looking at a late summer, early fall at the earliest to get it up and running functionally. So I think we can deal with the modular unit as a temporary basis or somewhere to get that started that I think we can remain on that timeline."
Disappointment with delays
King said the new location will still be overseen by PEERS Alliance.
In an email to CBC News, program director Angele DesRoches said they were "disappointed" with delays in opening the site.
"PEERS Alliance is eager to operationalize this service which will significantly increase safety and dignity for extremely marginalized community members. We hope there is similar urgency for project partners in designating a site," the email said.
King said it's also important for the site to have wraparound services for people who use it.
"Belmont was always meant to be a temporary location to get a service up and running that's badly needed in Prince Edward Island for those suffering from mental health [issues] and addictions."
As for possible locations, King said he thinks there are a number that could be considered.
"Before we say definitively here, I think we need to have good community consultation and an educational understanding of the services that will be offered," he said.
"The reality is when you're dealing with issues such as this in communities growing like we have in Charlottetown and Summerside as well, is that you have to meet the people where they are."

Summerside puts brakes on motorcycle festival
Atlanticade may return in the future, but likely during shoulder season, says city's deputy CAO
The Atlanticade Motorcycle Festival attracted thousands of bikers from all over North America every July for over a decade.
The event has been held in different Atlantic Canadian communities, including Summerside for the past couple of years.
J.P. Desrosiers, deputy chief administrative officer for the City of Summerside, said they've received notice provincial funding for the event would be reduced. Then RibFest, which was held as part of the event, announced it would not be returning.
"So with those two items happening, it left the event in a fairly significant financial shortfall and one that at this point, in time and this point in the year, we weren't able to recover unless we shared that cost with the Atlanticade registrants, which they've to some degree have always been semi price-sensitive to the existing price point," he said.
Desrosiers said the city may look at a similar event, during the shoulder season — perhaps June or September — at some point in the future.
Dale Hicks, the former chairman and founder of the Atlanticade Motorcycle Festival, said he's no longer associated with the event and only heard about it being cancelled on social media.

P.E.I.’s Island Party to be on the ballot in next provincial election
Paul Smitz holds a
copy of the Island Party constitution and an Elections P.E.I. statement
at his home in Brookvale. The party has officially registered with the
elections body and hopes to field candidates in the next election. Stu
Neatby • The GuardianIt appears some Islanders will have a fifth choice on their ballot in the next provincial election.
On Sept. 9, Elections P.E.I. confirmed the Island Party has been officially registered under the province’s Elections Act, after collecting the signatures of 0.35 per cent of registered voters.
This means the party, which fielded 11 candidates but won just 1 per cent of the vote in the 2011 provincial election, has the green light to field candidates in the next election in 2023.
Paul Smitz, president of the Island Party of P.E.I., believes simmering tension over the province’s Municipal Government Act could play in the party’s favour."This is the catalyst – the Municipal Government Act. But it's not just the Municipal Government Act,” Smitz told SaltWire Network.
“It's everything else that people have been losing. Their rights are being nibbled away."
The Municipal Government Act, introduced by the Wade MacLauchlan Liberals in 2016, drew heavy criticism for years, due in part to requirements that led some smaller municipalities to amalgamate. The towns of Georgetown, Montague and five other communities formed Three Rivers after a lengthy controversy.
Smitz said the act has meant onerous requirements for other rural municipalities and believes Islanders in rural areas have seen increases in their property taxes.
"The Liberals had brought it in. The Greens had supported it. And then the Tories had said, if you vote us in, we will rescind the act," Smitz said.
Once in office, Premier Dennis King's PC maintained the Municipal Government Act, including a clause allowing a the Minister of Communities to initiate a proposal to dissolve or restructure an existing municipality.
As a result, Smitz believes P.E.I. needs recall legislation in place, which would allow elected MLAs to be removed from office if enough signatures are gathered.
“And when they're removed they will lose their pensions and any benefits that they've put in," Smitz said.
Recall legislation in B.C. requires the collection of signatures of 40 per cent of registered voters in an electoral district before a new byelection is triggered.
Smitz also said the province should reduce the numbers of MLAs from 27 to 19.
"We're 150,000 people. We need less government," he said.
Angie Barton spent much of her summer collecting the 400 signatures submitted to Elections P.E.I.
She said she generally feels like she does not have a home in any other party.
“Most of my life I have not voted because I had not had confidence in any political party. I feel like they are in it to line their own pockets," she told SaltWire on Sept. 9.
Going door-to-door, Barton said she found seniors who felt that they had been “brushed aside” and poorly mistreated by their government. She also found Islanders struggling with the rising cost of living and the lack of affordable housing.
"We've built a bunch of new houses. But most families or even single parents cannot afford $1,500 to $1,800 a month plus,” Barton said.
“It didn't actually fix anything."
Barton took part in the Ottawa Freedom Convoy protests in January, which opposed COVID-19 related measures such as vaccine and mask mandates.
But she says the Freedom Convoy movement has “nothing to do with” the Island Party.
“I don't think the Convoy itself gave people a reason to distrust the government. I feel that the distrust was there," she said.
Barton plans to run in the next election under the Island Party banner.
Smitz said the party would be holding organizing meetings in the coming months in all three counties.
Echoes of United Farmers Party
UPEI political science professor Don Desserud said the Island Party’s platform contains right-leaning policies, but also contains some progressive social policy.
He believes the fledgling party harkens back to the United Farmers Party, a 1920s and 1930s agrarian movement active throughout the country.
"They had things that we would call both right and left wing. It shows that those labels are misleading in the first place."
Another common thread is a suspicion of big government that remains popular in rural regions.
That said, Desserud does not believe the Island Party poses a real threat to the larger parties, like the Tories, Liberals or Greens.
But it could appeal to disenfranchised elements of all three.
"You never know. They could be spoilers in a riding here or there,” Desserud said.

How Buddhist nuns are building bridges in wake of monastery controversy
Dive into the recent history of Buddhist nuns on P.E.I. in a new Atlantic Voice documentary
"One question is what we do in the monastery and what the day is like in the monastery," said nun Venerable Joanna. "That's probably one that we get asked most often."
"And, 'Why did you come to P.E.I?'" added nun Venerable Sabrina.
Sabrina — originally from southern California, although she's been on the Island for seven years — understands that natural curiosity.
"If I was an Islander ... I'd probably have the same question too, because you wouldn't expect Buddhist nuns to be living in Atlantic Canada," she said.
Atlantic Voice 26:16 Sabrina and Joanna are a few of the Great Wisdom Buddhist Institute nuns who take on public-facing duties, an effort in part to build bridges between the Buddhist and non-Buddhist communities.
While the nuns have been living in Uigg, a small community near Orwell, for about a decade, that need to build bridges has become apparent in recent years as the Buddhists' efforts to expand have come under scrutiny.
Community questions
In 2018, with about 500 nuns on the Island, the Great Wisdom Buddhist Institute announced plans to build a vast monastery complex on its property in Brudenell. The proposal sketched out space for 1,400 nuns on a sprawling 121-hectare campus.
That plan passed through the provincial government, but hit a snag in September 2020. At a public meeting in Three Rivers, the community in charge of issuing the complex's building permit, the proposal became a lightning rod for community tensions.
"You could cut the air with a dull knife," said David Weale, an Island historian and retired UPEI professor who attended the meeting. "Because people were up in arms. It was a very large meeting."
The mayor of Three Rivers at the time, Edward MacAulay, said there was negativity in the air and the motion to issue the permit was defeated.
"The one concern that seemed to be prevalent was land," said MacAulay.
Weale said he had been raising questions around land being bought by the Buddhists — there is also an associated community of monks, along with the nuns, in the area — but that he had "encountered nothing but an atmosphere of secrecy."
Venerable Sabrina remembered being surprised at the proposal's reception at the meeting.
"I thought we had done things for the local community in terms of like, doing presentations and visiting different people in the community, and answering questions," she said.

Building bridges
About a month after the 2020 meeting, the nuns appeared before a provincial government committee to answer questions about their activities on P.E.I.
During that investigation, the nuns said they had, at times, been ignorant of local knowledge. They also did not appeal the Three Rivers' permit decision, instead focusing on community outreach.
In 2021, the Brudenell monastery proposal got the green light, and is now under construction. The nuns' community outreach has also grown: they lead mindfulness sessions around P.E.I. and take part in traditions like trick-or-treating.
"I think people are starting to know our intentions a little better it seems. And I think we've learned a lot about what community means within P.E.I.," said Venerable Joanna.

P.E.I. government orders review of land ownership to determine if any rules being broken
IRAC asked to review how much land owned by non-residents, corporations
Land ownership on P.E.I. will undergo a major review to determine how much land is owned by non-residents and corporations.
Minister of Communities, Land and Environment Richard Brown has asked the Island Regulatory and Appeals Commission (IRAC) to conduct the review to determine whether anyone is breaking the rules.
Brown told CBC News he's hearing more and more concerns from farming organizations — and from Islanders in general — over whether too much land is being controlled by large groups and by those who don't live on the Island year-round.
Brown says he's also heard from Islanders who worry about land speculation driving up prices and taking farmland out of production.
"There is a concern out there from Islanders of who owns our land, where are they from … and what is it doing for Islanders' opportunity to purchase property," he said.
"I think the best way to address these concerns is to have a formal review of land ownership on P.E.I. and to have the facts on the table," said Brown.

Farming concerns
Some of those concerns were voiced by the P.E.I. Federation of Agriculture at a legislative standing committee meeting last month, and similar concerns by the National Farmers Union surfaced at a previous meeting in November 2017.
Robert Godfrey, executive director of the P.EI. Federation of Agriculture, told CBC News values for farmland have been rising steadily since 2010 and that last year, this province had the highest percentage increase in Canada — as high as 15.4 per cent in Kings County.
Godfrey said his members worry rising prices will make it next to impossible for young farmers to buy land.
His group would like to see farmland given more protection from being converted to other types of development, and from being left idle.
"It is by far our biggest resource here on Prince Edward Island, is our land, whether it's for farmland or whether it's for a family of five to build a home and raise a family here on Prince Edward Island," said Godfrey. "We've got to make sure there are opportunities to purchase, and that it's affordable."

Review will look at speculation
"We don't mind them purchasing property and moving here. We don't like them purchasing property and holding and speculating it," said Brown.
"Islanders are saying to us, 'We should have the right to purchase Island land first,'" he added.
P.E.I. was once known as the million acre farm, but today farmland is estimated at half that level — about 233,000 hectares, or 575,000 acres, according to the P.E.I. Federation of Agriculture.
"It's crucial we keep as much land as possible into farmland," said Brown. "Because if we lose our farmland we lose a big economic driver in Prince Edward Island but also we lose our communities on Prince Edward Island if we give up farmland too easily."
Restrictions in place
There are restrictions on how much land one person or group can own on P.E.I.: individuals are limited to 404 hectares, or 1,000 acres, and corporations to 1,214 hectares, or 3,000 acres.
In addition, cabinet must approve non-resident purchases of two hectares (five acres) or more, and land with more than 165 feet of shore frontage.
You drive out to certain parts of P.E.I. and you see subdivisions where there's three homes sitting on what was prime agricultural land only a few years ago.
- Robert Godfrey, executive director of the P.EI. Federation of Agriculture
Changes in 2016 required people to live in the province for 365 days over two years to be considered a resident, instead of the prior rule of six months in a year. In addition, a resident must be a Canadian citizen or a landed immigrant.
But Godfrey and others would like to see more restrictions.
While communities need to grow and development needs to happen, Godfrey said he would like to see prime farmland continue to be farmed.
"You drive out to certain parts of P.E.I. and you see subdivisions where there's three homes sitting on what was prime agricultural land only a few years ago."
Land control
The NFU has also singled out the Great Enlightenment Buddhist Institute Society (GEBIS), Cavendish Farms and Vanco Farms in its concerns over groups controlling too much land.
At the March legislative committee meeting Godfrey said government officials had told his organization that various groups of Buddhist monks and nuns in eastern P.E.I. have about 1,000 members, and collectively own about 2,000 hectares, or 5,000 acres, of farmland.
However, MLA Allen Roach told the committee the numbers government provided him were 320 monks owning about 445 hectares, or 1,100 acres, and 132 nuns owning 236 hectares, or 585 acres.
Brown says he's not sure of the exact number, but he's been told these groups are well within the land ownership limits, and he expects the IRAC review will confirm that.
"They come here. They live here. They get their residency and they're entitled to purchase land," said the minister.

However, he said, any large parcels of farmland that are taken out of production are a concern.
Brown says he's been eyeing new rules in Vancouver aimed at tempering speculation, which would require anyone buying a farm to continue to farm it.
"The Island's under a lot of pressure," he said, because its population is increasing. "People want to live here. People want to move here. And we just want to make sure the path forward is the best thing for Prince Edward Island."
Brown hopes the IRAC review will be finished in time to present to a legislative committee by this fall.
Lands protection
Last month, Brown also said government plans to double its protected land base, to seven per cent by 2020.
The minister said he planned to work closely with the Island Nature Trust and the Nature Conservancy of Canada to reach this goal.

After more than a decade, why is there still a controversy over the P.E.I. Buddhist community?
Leaders get down to business as P.E.I. election campaign kicks off
King criticized for calling an election 6 months before its due
Election signs were put up across the province, and party candidates began knocking on doors making their pitches to voters.
The Progressive Conservatives have a full slate of candidates, while the Greens, Liberals and NDP still have some districts to fill.
The day after the election call, PC Leader Dennis King visited five different districts and made a health-care announcement in Summerside.
Liberal Leader Sharon Cameron and Green Party Leader Peter Bevan-Baker were out and about in District 17, New Haven-Rocky Point, where they are running against each other.
Bevan Baker said he's excited about the next four weeks.
"I often take time in a morning or an afternoon and go round my district, pick an area and go speak to people. So I will continue that process, as will all of the other candidates that we have nominated now. So I don't think the shortness of the campaign is going to make it particularly more difficult for us."

Bevan-Baker said the Greens would announce three more candidate nominations Tuesday evening.
Cameron said the PC government has disappointed Islanders by failing to reopen the legislature and discuss the ongoing issues in health care. She said the election call Monday night shows where the party's priorities lie.
Cameron takes aim at Greens
But she said the Green Party has also failed Islanders.
"We can't point all the fingers at the King government because we also have an opposition that acted like project managers, basically, and didn't do their opposition job and without good opposition you can't have good government."
Cameron said if elected, she would take over the health portfolio for the government and take action to address health-care staffing numbers.

King called the election six months before the fixed election date in October. He said he didn't want to overlap with a potential federal election in the fall.
There are so many issues facing everyday Islanders that could have been dealt with between now and the fall.
— Michelle Neill
"It's four years, it's time to have an election," he said. "There's uncertainty in the future and Islanders should have a say in that."
The NDP is also getting its candidates in place for the place. Leader Michelle Neill, who is running in District 13, Charlottetown-Brighton, said the October fixed election date should have been respected.
"There are so many issues facing everyday Islanders that could have been dealt with between now and the fall. However, Dennis King decided to put his own political fortunes ahead of Islanders."

Interim leader Paul Smitz said the party is focused around accountability, recall legislation, and something called a "people's initiative."
"So if you as a citizen are not happy with certain laws that have been put in place, if you have a people's initiative, if there's enough people signed a petition saying they want it changed, it will change under the Island Party and the Island Party will put [it] in place within a year."
The election call comes as Islanders face crises in health care and housing, and the highest inflation rates in the country.

King makes it official: Prince Edward Island election to be held April 3
Dennis King calls election 6 months earlier than fixed election date of Oct. 2
Prince Edward Islanders are heading to the polls for a provincial election this spring, with voting day set for Monday, April 3.
Progressive Conservative Leader Dennis King made the official announcement Monday evening at his nomination meeting, as he became the final candidate to be nominated to run in the 2023 provincial election for the party.
"This election is going to be about a lot of things. But primarily it's about leadership," King told about 200 candidates and supporters gathered at Winsloe United Church in his district of Brackley-Hunter River, surrounded by signs reading: "PC: With you, for you."
"It's about who's best positioned to lead our province forward during the next four years."
In a high-energy speech, he listed how his party had tackled the key issues of health care, the rising cost of living, and access to housing.
I'm confident in our team, I'm confident in our plan, I'm confident in our track record.
— Dennis King
"Today is the beginning of a new journey," King said as he wrapped up, saying: "I'm confident in our team, I'm confident in our plan, I'm confident in our track record.
"And I say to you, and I say to the 26 of you [candidates] behind me: Let's get to work, let's go get the job done one more time."
The election call came after months of speculation about a possible spring election, at kitchen tables and coffee shops as well as in the halls of the legislature. King all but guaranteed it this winter, dropping hints here and there that the PCs were getting ready — most recently in an interview after the party nominated its first candidate in the city of Summerside.
Prince Edward Island does have fixed election legislation setting the next voting date as Oct. 2, 2023, but King exercised his right as premier to trigger it early.
King later defended that decision when talking to reporters.
"It's four years; it's time to have an election," he said. "There's uncertainty in the future and Islanders should have a say in that."
King added that there is a chance of a federal election later in the year, given that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is leading a minority government. "There's uncertainty in Ottawa," he said. "There could be a fall election. Part of the reason our election was moved [is] because the election dates in Ottawa."

four years; it's time to have an election," PC Leader Dennis King says.

that." (Cody MacKay/CBC)
The P.C. leader, who had held the premier's job since 2019, said he went to see Lt.-Gov Antoinette Perry on Monday morning to kickstart the election.
Who is running so far?
Shortly after King spoke, Elections P.E.I. issued a news release about the provincial vote to be held in four weeks' time, saying advance polls would take place on March 25, 27 and 31 from 9 a.m. until 7 p.m.
As of Monday evening, the Progressive Conservatives were the only party to have a full slate of 27 candidates nominated and ready to run.
The other parties are planning more nomination meetings in the coming days.
Here is the breakdown so far of how many people have declared their intention to run for each of the other major parties (nominated or soon-to-be-nominated):
- The Greens under Peter Bevan-Baker have 14 of 27.
- The Liberals led by Sharon Cameron have 19 of 27.
- The NDP under Michelle Neill have 13 of 27.
Greens 'feeling really excited'
Green Leader Peter Bevan-Baker, whose party has formed the Official Opposition since 2019, said he would have preferred that King stick to the fixed election date of Oct. 2.
"It's not the right time for Islanders, and I also think it's not the right time for democracy," he said. "When you call a snap election like this, it creates such an imbalance between the ruling party … and the rest of us."

candidate slate that's 'second to none' for this campaign. (Rick Gibbs/CBC)
Given that, he's excited about his party's possibilities going into the April 3 election.
"We have a platform we've been working on for a very long time. We just nominated this evening two more candidates, so we continue to build a slate of candidates across this province," he said.
"The quality of the folks who are coming forward is second to none and I'm just feeling really excited and really optimistic about the next month."
Liberals, NDP criticize snap call
A spring election has been "the worst kept secret on P.E.I.," said Liberal Leader Sharon Cameron.
"The announcement is as heartbreaking as it is discouraging," she said. "We've always been very vocal about the snap election date."

primary goal going into this campaign is addressing health care. (Brian Higgins/CBC)
Cameron said her primary goal going into this election is addressing health care, adding that the party has a strong, diverse set of candidates with more being announced by the day.
NDP candidate Herb Dickieson spoke on behalf of his party, saying not following the fixed election date amounts to "broken promise" for the PC campaign as it starts off.
"When governments attempt to deceive the people, they sometimes regret it," Dickieson said.
As for the party's priorities going into the election, he said the party has health care top of mind and they plans on running a full slate of 27 candidates.

NDP under leader Michelle Neill had about half of their candidates
confirmed as of Monday night, including former MLA Herb Dickieson. (CBC)
"Michelle Neill has a better deal for Islanders and that's our slogan and we have a very good platform to back it up with," he said. "We're looking with great anticipation for much better results [than 2019] and what we're going to see … is that New Democrats will be elected in the Island legislature."
The Island Party has also announced it plans to field candidates in the race, and has registered with Elections P.E.I. A recent news release said it will call for "responsible and transparent government."
The issues heading in
There will likely be more focused debate on hot-button issues this time around. Back in 2019, the province had a full slate of topics of concern, of course, but there was also a referendum on proportional representation tied to the vote.
This time, expect to see some of the same issues debated in 2019 return in an even more pressing manner, including:
- Health care and doctor shortages.
- Housing and homelessness.
- Inflation, poverty, wages and the economy.
- Environment, climate change and shoreline protection.
Health care and doctor shortages are issues that affect most Islanders, with more than 28,000 people and counting on the P.E.I. patient registry. Combine that with a shortage of doctors in many parts of the province, leading to hospital closures in rural parts of P.E.I. and extremely crunched ERs at both Summerside's Prince County Hospital and Charlottetown's Queen Elizabeth Hospital. Also in the health care file is the COVID-19 pandemic that has dominated global attention since the winter of 2020 and is still claiming lives on P.E.I.
Shortly
after the election was triggered on Monday night, Elections P.E.I.
released this photo of CEO Tim Garrity signing the writ of election for a
provincial vote to be held on April 3. The agency said advance polls
will take place on March 25, 27 and 31 from 9 a.m. until 7 p.m. (Submitted by Elections P.E.I.)
Housing and homelessness are an all-party priority heading into this election. On housing, increasing rents and a desperately short supply of units have squeezed the tenant population, with rising house prices pushing ownership out of reach for many Islanders. At the same time, more people have been living in tents, on couches, in cars, or at outreach centres and emergency shelters — like the one that opened in Charlottetown last December.
Inflation has drained the resources of Islanders on nearly every bill, particularly when it comes to grocery shopping and buying gas and home heating fuel. Rent and mortgage rates are also way up, squeezing the budgets and putting more people on the poverty line. Use of food banks is at a historic high, with more and more rural populations installing community fridges to help their neighbours.
In some ways, major storms bookended the last four years of governance, with post-tropical storm Dorian in 2019 and post-tropical storm Fiona in 2022 mercilessly pummelling Prince Edward Island. The unprecedented became precedented as all levels of government raced to rework and reinforce their climate change policies.
Elections P.E.I. has sent out voter information cards across the province ahead of the spring election, and is encouraging Islanders to make sure their information is up to date.
For more on how to do that, visit the Elections P.E.I. website.

P.E.I. Green, Liberal parties are two candidates short of a full slate in spring election
CHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I. — P.E.I.’s Green and Liberal parties will not be running a full slate of candidates in April’s election.
As of 3 p.m. on March 17, Elections P.E.I. is reporting the Greens and the Liberals will each be fielding 25 candidates – two short of a full roster. The deadline to register candidates expired at 2 p.m.
Both the Progressive Conservatives and the New Democratic Party will be fielding candidates in all 27 districts. The Island Party will run candidates in 11 districts; four independent candidates will also be running.
The Liberals confirmed they will not be fielding candidates in the districts of Stanhope-Marshfield and Borden-Kinkora in a news release on March 17.
“In two districts, we have very interested parties who were considering offering their name for public service in the fall of 2023. Yet with the early call, it was not possible to muster the volunteers and make the necessary arrangements,” the Liberals said in the release.
“Unfortunately, Premier King did not allow a reasonable window.”
After four years as the Official Opposition, the P.E.I. Green party will not be fielding candidates in Stanhope-Marshfield and Tignish-Palmer Road.
The NDP confirmed in a media statement it will have 27 candidates running – one in every district.
“I’m thrilled to be able to tell everyday Islanders that they have a choice in this election,” party leader Michelle Neill said in a release.
“Voting Liberal and Conservative has only made things worse in our province for decades. If we want a better future, we have to make different choices.”
Stanhope-Marshfield will be the district with the fewest candidates. Only PC incumbent Bloyce Thompson and NDP candidate Marian White are running in that district. Four years ago, this was the district of former Liberal premier Wade MacLauchlan.
Last time was 1912 for Liberals
This election will be the first in over 100 years in which the once-dominant Liberal party will not be fielding a full slate of candidates.
UPEI historian Ed MacDonald said this represents an unusual event in P.E.I. political history.
"I can't remember the last time that the PCs or Liberals didn't have a full slate of candidates, even if some of them were sacrificial lambs," MacDonald said.
MacDonald noted that between 1900 and 2000 the Liberals were in power for 65 years.
A review of historical election records listed on Elections P.E.I.’s website indicates the last time the Liberals did not field a full slate of candidates was in the 1912 election.
MacDonald said that election occurred after a 20-year period of rule by the Liberals. Byelections in 1911 meant the Liberals lost a majority in the province’s legislature, which eventually led to an election in 1912.
The end result of the 1912 election was a PC blowout, with the Tories winning 28 seats to two for the Liberals.
"They were so demoralized, and the Conservatives won the biggest victory to that point in the history of the province," MacDonald told SaltWire Network on March 17.
The party also did not nominate a candidate in what was then the 3rd Kings district in 1919, but this was after former Conservative MLA John Alexander Dewar ran as an independent against his own party.
‘Popular Perception’
Progressive Conservative Leader Dennis King has been consistently popular in opinion polling since the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
The Liberals suffered a hard loss in the 2019 election and were reduced from governing party to Third Party status. The party had several fits and starts before naming former civil servant Sharon Cameron as its permanent leader.
“I think what it suggests is that it's hard to get candidates to come out when the popular perception is that one side is going to win lopsidedly," MacDonald said.
"And when you have a recently elected leader who has yet to have a
chance to build up the grassroots network of the party to reinvigorate
it, that makes the challenge all the harder."
MacDonald suggested the best hope for the Greens, Liberals and NDP is a gaffe by King.
"What can happen – and it's yet to happen in this election campaign – is that ... somebody stumbles so badly or some issue blows up that the polls taken just before the campaign are no longer accurate,” MacDonald said.
"That has happened in the history of polling. But I don't recall it happening on P.E.I."
PCs entering P.E.I. election 'in a strong position,' poll suggests
‘Satisfaction levels in the province have been at unprecedented levels’
Dennis King announced Monday night there would be a general election on P.E.I. April 3.
The latest Narrative Research poll comes hard on the heels of that. It shows the results of phone calls made to 420 Islanders from Feb. 13 to March 2.
The Tories hold a comfortable lead in voting intentions in the poll, as they have through much of the last four years. The party's 49 per cent support is the same as it was in November, but down a little from the previous few polls.
"These numbers suggest that the King government is in a strong position right now," said Margaret Brigley, CEO of Narrative Research.
It is not just voting intentions. Satisfaction levels in the government remain high at more than 70 per cent.
"Importantly, since Dennis King was elected four years ago satisfaction levels in the province have been at unprecedented levels," said Brigley.
The Greens held second position in the poll, at 22 per cent, with the Liberals in third at 19 per cent. The difference between the two is well within the 6.1 percentage point margin of error among decided voters.
"We see the Green Party and the Liberal Party really neck to neck in terms of vying for that second position," said Brigley.
King also comes out as the most favoured leader to be premier.
Of those reached by the pollsters, 42 per cent preferred King as premier, with 24 per cent supporting Green Leader Peter Bevan-Baker and 11 per cent Sharon Cameron.
The margin of error on the favoured leader and government satisfaction sections of the poll was 4.8 percentage points.
What might 49% mean in the election?
In previous elections, taking close to half of the popular vote was enough to win a strong majority.
In recent history, the result closest to 49 per cent for the winning party was in 2011, when Robert Ghiz's Liberals won 51 per cent. That resulted in the Liberals winning 22 of the legislature's 27 seats.

But times have changed. The house now holds three parties, and three-horse races look different from two-horse ones.
In that 2011 election, the Progressive Conservatives won 40 per cent of the vote, placing them in Opposition with just five seats. With a combined eight per cent of the vote, the Greens, the NDP and the Island Party were shut out.
Eight years later, with the Greens surging, 37 per cent of the vote was enough for Dennis King's PCs to form government, albeit a minority with 13 seats.
Campaign swings
Election campaigns, while generally only a month long, can sometimes seem much longer, and can be full of surprises.
"When you are in that front position you are always the one that has the most to lose," said Brigley.

It's a truism Peter Bevan-Baker is familiar with. The Narrative Research poll of February 2019 had his Greens leading, but come election day the Greens found themselves not government, but Official Opposition.
That 2019 poll put the Greens at 39 per cent, with the Tories at 29 and Liberals at 27. The poll that mattered, on election day, gave the PCs another eight points and shaved eight from the Greens. The Liberals picked up two percentage points.
There are signs the electorate could move as much in this election. In both polls, about 35 per cent of those reached did not express a party preference.
Polls are considered to be accurate 19 times out of 20.

Why P.E.I. is having an election in April, when the date fixed by law is in October
'To me, a fixed election date is something that we should actually set and stick to': Dennis King in 2019
The short answer is, because Dennis King wants one now.
Since Confederation it has been the prerogative of premiers and prime ministers to call elections when they deemed it was time to do so. This frequently led to cries of foul, when leaders moved to call elections when they appeared to have an advantage, or delayed calls to avoid what seemed to be certain defeat.
Over the last couple of decades there has been some effort at change.
British Columbia introduced the idea of fixing election dates in 2001, but the idea didn't catch on immediately. After dates were fixed federally in 2007 more provinces jumped on board. By the end of 2008 most provinces had fixed dates, and with their introduction in Nova Scotia in 2021 all the provinces now have legislation in place.
But in terms of election dates, "fixed" is a relative term. This is the fourth election for P.E.I. since the Election Act was amended in May 2008, and only the first of those, in 2011, was held on the first Monday in October — that would be Oct. 2 this year — as spelled out in the legislation. The other three were held in the spring.
So what gives? Why were Wade MacLauchlan and Dennis King allowed to call spring elections when legislation sets the date in the fall?
The premier does not call the election
The answer is found in the first 11 words in the section of the Election Act that sets the fixed date.
- Nothing in this section affects the powers of the Lieutenant Governor.
When people say the premier has called an election that is not technically true. The word "premier" does not appear anywhere in the Election Act. It is the lieutenant-governor that dissolves the legislature and instructs the chief electoral officer to issue the writs of election. But under the convention of responsible government, the lieutenant-governor only acts on the advice of the premier.
So, that crucial clause could be read as
- Nothing in this section affects the powers of the premier.
This clause at the beginning of the section that sets the date of election relegates it from an order to a suggestion.
Crying foul again
The introduction of fixed date elections has had little impact on the controversy it was meant to address.
Liberal Leader Sharon Cameron did not wait for the actual election call to complain about an early vote. Cameron issued a news release last month calling on the premier to wait in order to allow potential candidates, and in particular women, the time to get their affairs in order and free themselves up to run for office.
Meeting
with reporters after his election call speech Monday night, Dennis King
said this: 'It's four years; it's time to have an election. There's
uncertainty in the future and Islanders should have a say in that...
There's four members of our legislature who have indicated it's time for
them to move on, and others have taken their place, and it's time for
Islanders to have their say.' (Shane Hennessey/CBC)
The P.E.I. Coalition for Women in Government has also come out in support of fixed election dates.
King was asked about fixed election dates during the 2019 campaign, and he agreed with Cameron and the coalition.
During a leaders' forum on women's issues, King said fixed election dates make politics more inclusive and less partisan.
"To me, a fixed election date is something that we should actually set and stick to," said King.
"To become a candidate for a party, whether you're a woman or not, it's a difficult decision. It takes time. I've been asked in the last four or five different elections to be a candidate and you have a lot of things that you have to weigh in the balance. When all of the sudden you're weighing that and an election is pulled out of the air, it makes you either frightened or pushes you into a decision that you're not ready to make."
Prince Edward Islanders will vote in a general provincial election on April 3.

Green incumbent Ole Hammarlund loses party nomination to run in 2023 election
Nomination challenger Janice Harper won party vote in District 13 on Monday
Ole Hammarlund, who represents District 13: Charlottetown-Brighton, lost the nomination in his district Monday evening to challenger Janice Harper.
A news release says Harper is a land use planner with 20 years of experience.
Hammarlund was first elected in 2019 and was the opposition critic for Transportation and Infrastructure.
"Ole brought a depth of experience to the legislature while also bringing a great sense of humour — something that can often be in short supply in politics. I want to thank Ole for his friendship and his service to Islanders," Green Leader Peter Bevan-Baker said in an emailed statement.
"I encourage every Islander who believes they have something to offer to put forward their name when a call for nominations is issued. I appreciate the work and autonomy of the party membership to decide who they want to represent them. This democratic process is of key importance to the work of the Green Party of P.E.I."

Hammarlund was first elected in 2019 and was the opposition critic for Transportation and Infrastructure.
"I actually wanted a contested nomination meeting," Hammarlund said. "I think that's the way to change guard. It should be, in this case, members of the party of the district that should make the decision."
Hammarlund praised Harper, saying she's "well-qualified and intelligent" and thinks voters maybe wanted to pass the torch on to a new candidate. CBC News reached out to Janice Harper for comment but she was unavailable to speak Tuesday.
He also said he was asked to step aside by the Green Party going into the nomination.
"I rejected the notion, I thought that's not the way it should be. If somebody else wants to come in they should go through the motion and it should be the members that decide," he said. "I'm not for backroom dealings. I think people should vote."
Hammarlund added that he will not be running as an independent candidate.
'That's democracy at work,' Green leader says
Green Leader Peter Bevan-Baker said the party encourages anyone to come forward and contest a nomination, as it's central to the party's "grassroots participation.
'I
think it shows excitement around the Green Party … I look at this as an
incredibly positive thing for our party,' says Green Leader Peter
Bevan-Baker. (Julien LeCacheur/Radio-Canada)
"If you feel you would be a good MLA, come forward and put your name [forward]. Whether there is a sitting MLA there or not. In this instance, we had a sitting MLA and somebody who felt that they'd be a good candidate," Bevan-Baker said.
"The membership decided last night that Janice would make a strong candidate, and she is now the candidate. That's democracy at work. I think it shows excitement around the Green Party.… I look at this as an incredibly positive thing for our party."
UPEI political scientist Don Desserud said it's "very rare" to see a sitting MLA be challenged for a nomination, let alone lose the nomination to the challenger.

Desserud isn't sure exactly why Hammarlund lost, but he did say Harper is a "star candidate" for the Greens heading into the election. Asked how it looks to see a sitting MLA fall in the nomination, Desserud said it may suggest higher engagement within the Green Party.
"It shows that there is a lot of interest in being a Green candidate," he said.
"The worst thing is when no one wants to come forward and to run. Challenging an incumbent is odd for sure … the fact that there was two people who wanted this [district] is at least an indication that people see the Green Party as having a future and they want to be a part of it."
I am a Green Party member and have been for a long time, but I know Sandra personally and while I am not a big fan of the provincial Liberals, I will be voting for Sandra as I think she would be the best representative.
'Anxiety was just taking over': MLA Colin LaVie on why he's not running in next election
‘If I can't be there with my heart for the people, I just can't do it’
LaVie, MLA for Souris-Elmira, announced earlier this week he wouldn't be putting his name on the ballot for the next provincial election, after first announcing in February that he would be running.
"With all the lockdowns and everything, I just lost the connection with the people. I just didn't have the connection I had before," LaVie told CBC News: Compass host Louise Martin.
"Everybody was talking the election talk and I thought it could work, but when I go home in the evening … I would jump when the phone would ring."
His wife Shelley could see a difference in him, said LaVie.
"So we talked and then I said, 'Well maybe I should talk to my doctor and see where this is going, cause I never felt like this before.'"
That conversation with his doctor was crucial, said LaVie. They talked for about 90 minutes and made a list of pros and cons to running again.
"The cons were always taking over," he said. "The anxiety was just taking over deeply."
'Premier, I just can't do it'
Telling Premier Dennis King about his decision was difficult, said LaVie.
"The hardest trip I made to Charlottetown in the last 12 years was in to see the premier," he said.
"And I had to give him the bad news that, 'Premier, I just can't do it. I just lost it. And if I can't be there with my heart for the people, I just can't do it.'"
King was very supportive of his decision, said LaVie.
Favourite part of the job was door-knocking
LaVie said in the past he's received calls from his constituents about their own anxiety.
"I know exactly what these people are going through. Like, I didn't think it would have happened to me and it has happened," he said.
Reflecting on his past 11 years in politics, LaVie said his favourite part of his job was meeting people and hearing about their lives and their struggles.
"I wasn't one of these politicians [who would] go to a door and leave.… I always was invited into the house, whether it was for a cup of tea or a biscuit and whether it was for an hour or 45 minutes," he said.
Through his own experiences such as having addictions and being on social services, LaVie said he could identify with people's stories.
"I could sit down in the kitchen and relate to the people."
'Sit for seven days straight'
As for what's next, LaVie didn't reveal much about his future, except for one thing: a bit of time off with his wife.
"I never took a vacation in the last 12 years. I'd like to take a vacation … get away and just sit for seven days straight and read a book," he said.
Robin Croucher, a paramedic and entrepreneur in Souris, is seeking the PC Party nomination to replace LaVie in District 1, Souris-Elmira.

Hannah Bell (Green) bailed one day after she was vested and guaranteed a pension for life for the bare minimum service.
Green MLA Hannah Bell not running for re-election
Bell part of first-ever Green Official Opposition in Canada
Bell has served as an MLA since 2017 when she won the byelection in District 11, what was then called Charlottetown-Parkdale. The riding has since become Charlottetown-Belvedere.
She was part of a historic first for the Green Party, who have formed the Official Opposition on the Island since the 2019 provincial election.
"Now I believe the time has come for me to make space for new perspectives and voices, while I find other ways to serve," Bell said in the release. She told CBC News she not available for an interview Friday.
Bell did not share a reason behind her decision, but said she was proud of work she completed during her time as an MLA.
She highlighted some of her accomplishments, including securing a renoviction moratorium, pushing for an increase to social assistance, establishing an ostomy support program and creating the Poverty Elimination Strategy Act.
Bell thanked party leader Peter Bevan-Baker, the Green caucus, the District 11 Electoral District Association and the Green Party of P.E.I. for "their friendship, support, and leadership."
She also thanked Islanders "for the opportunity I have been provided in this arena to step up and be heard; to be part of history; and to have made a difference."
Bell said she will continue to serve until the writ is dropped.
P.E.I.'s next election is scheduled for Oct. 2, 2023, although Premier Dennis King has not confirmed that date.

Jessica Simmonds no longer running for P.E.I. Liberals after Indigenous heritage questioned
'Let me be clear: I am a woman of Indigenous heritage,' candidate responds
Political candidate Jessica Simmonds will no longer run for the Liberals in Charlottetown after questions were raised about her Indigenous heritage.
Simmonds was officially nominated as the Liberal candidate in District 10: Charlottetown-Winsloe last week. According to the party, an outside group shared concerns about Simmonds Indigenous heritage.
Simmonds' claim to Indigenous heritage was cited in Liberal Party materials, including references to Simmonds' Indigenous beliefs and medicine walks.
The Liberal Party website shared information about Jessica Simmonds
prior to her nomination in late February. (Liberal Party of P.E.I.)
"No other candidate is running on their heritage," Liberal Leader Sharon Cameron told CBC News Wednesday.
"So when we receive third-party concerns about that choice and we looked into that a little deeper [we] weren't able to provide the evidence to give it the integrity that it required so we chose to part ways."
'Let me be clear: I am a woman of Indigenous heritage'
Simmonds' mother is former provincial Progressive Conservative candidate Linda Clements, who told CBC News Simmonds' maternal family tree includes Indigenous great-great-grandparents from New Brunswick.
In an emailed statement to CBC News, Simmonds said "no one ever questioned me on my degree of Indigenousness" at her nomination in late February.
But she said she received a call from Liberal Party President Katie Morrello just days later asking her to step down.
"Let me be clear: I am a woman of Indigenous heritage. Both my maternal great-great-grandparents were of Indigenous descent. I have been a member of the Native Council of Prince Edward Island since 2017, when the Native Council performed an extensive review of our family tree," Simmonds said.
"I will not speculate on the real reason why I was asked to step down. I do not believe the purity of a person's race should not be the criteria for elected office, but perhaps the selection of a replacement candidate in District 10 will answer this question."
The Native Council of P.E.I. declined to confirm Simmonds' claim or to provide further comment on this story.

reached out to the Liberal Party just to let them know that it was a
concern of ours and why we felt uncomfortable with this,' says Sobia

Local advocacy group BIPOC-USHR said it shared concerns with the P.E.I. Liberal Party over Jessica Simmonds — and that those concerns weren't solely about her heritage.
Executive director Sobia Ali-Faisal said Simmonds approached the group asking for workers to help on her campaign.
"We were a little bit bothered and disturbed by this because it comes across as a very superficial last-minute ploy to try and diversify or make the campaign look good," Ali-Faisal said.
"We reached out to the Liberal Party just to let them know that it was a concern of ours and why we felt uncomfortable with this. That was pretty much it."

In this letter Mr. Amos alludes to a > possible lawsuit against Patterson Palmer. > [16] Mr. Amos’ position is that simply because Justice Webb > was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer, he now has a conflict. In Wewaykum > Indian Band v. Her Majesty the Queen, 2003 SCC 45, [2003] 2 S.C.R. > 259, the Supreme Court of Canada noted that disqualification of a > judge is to be determined based on whether there is a reasonable > apprehension of bias: > 60 In Canadian law, one standard has now emerged as the > criterion for disqualification. The criterion, as expressed by de > Grandpré J. in Committee for Justice and Liberty v. National Energy > Board, …[[1978] 1 S.C.R. 369, 68 D.L.R. (3d) 716], at p. 394, is the > reasonable apprehension of bias: > … the apprehension of bias must be a reasonable one, held by > reasonable and right minded persons, applying themselves to the > question and obtaining thereon the required information. In the words > of the Court of Appeal, that test is "what would an informed person, > viewing the matter realistically and practically -- and having thought > the matter through -- conclude. Would he think that it is more likely > than not that [the decision-maker], whether consciously or > unconsciously, would not decide fairly." > > [17] The issue to be determined is whether an informed > person, viewing the matter realistically and practically, and having > thought the matter through, would conclude that Mr. Amos’ allegations > give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias. As this Court has > previously remarked, “there is a strong presumption that judges will > administer justice impartially” and this presumption will not be > rebutted in the absence of “convincing evidence” of bias (Collins v. > Canada, 2011 FCA 140 at para. 7, [2011] 4 C.T.C. 157 [Collins]. See > also R. v. S. (R.D.), [1997] 3 S.C.R. 484 at para. 32, 151 D.L.R. > (4th) 193). > > [18] The Ontario Court of Appeal in Rando Drugs Ltd. v. > Scott, 2007 ONCA 553, 86 O.R. (3d) 653 (leave to appeal to the Supreme > Court of Canada refused, 32285 (August 1, 2007)), addressed the > particular issue of whether a judge is disqualified from hearing a > case simply because he had been a member of a law firm that was > involved in the litigation that was now before that judge. The Ontario > Court of Appeal determined that the judge was not disqualified if the > judge had no involvement with the person or the matter when he was a > lawyer. The Ontario Court of Appeal also explained that the rules for > determining whether a judge is disqualified are different from the > rules to determine whether a lawyer has a conflict: > 27 Thus, disqualification is not the natural corollary to a > finding that a trial judge has had some involvement in a case over > which he or she is now presiding. Where the judge had no involvement, > as here, it cannot be said that the judge is disqualified. > > > 28 The point can rightly be made that had Mr. Patterson been > asked to represent the appellant as counsel before his appointment to > the bench, the conflict rules would likely have prevented him from > taking the case because his firm had formerly represented one of the > defendants in the case. Thus, it is argued how is it that as a trial > judge Patterson J. can hear the case? This issue was considered by the > Court of Appeal (Civil Division) in Locabail (U.K.) Ltd. v. Bayfield > Properties Ltd., [2000] Q.B. 451. The court held, at para. 58, that > there is no inflexible rule governing the disqualification of a judge > and that, "[e]verything depends on the circumstances." > > > 29 It seems to me that what appears at first sight to be an > inconsistency in application of rules can be explained by the > different contexts and in particular, the strong presumption of > judicial impartiality that applies in the context of disqualification > of a judge. There is no such presumption in cases of allegations of > conflict of interest against a lawyer because of a firm's previous > involvement in the case. To the contrary, as explained by Sopinka J. > in MacDonald Estate v. Martin (1990), 77 D.L.R. (4th) 249 (S.C.C.), > for sound policy reasons there is a presumption of a disqualifying > interest that can rarely be overcome. In particular, a conclusory > statement from the lawyer that he or she had no confidential > information about the case will never be sufficient. The case is the > opposite where the allegation of bias is made against a trial judge. > His or her statement that he or she knew nothing about the case and > had no involvement in it will ordinarily be accepted at face value > unless there is good reason to doubt it: see Locabail, at para. 19. > > > 30 That brings me then to consider the particular circumstances > of this case and whether there are serious grounds to find a > disqualifying conflict of interest in this case. In my view, there are > two significant factors that justify the trial judge's decision not to > recuse himself. The first is his statement, which all parties accept, > that he knew nothing of the case when it was in his former firm and > that he had nothing to do with it. The second is the long passage of > time. As was said in Wewaykum, at para. 85: > To us, one significant factor stands out, and must inform > the perspective of the reasonable person assessing the impact of this > involvement on Binnie J.'s impartiality in the appeals. That factor is > the passage of time. Most arguments for disqualification rest on > circumstances that are either contemporaneous to the decision-making, > or that occurred within a short time prior to the decision-making. > 31 There are other factors that inform the issue. The Wilson > Walker firm no longer acted for any of the parties by the time of > trial. More importantly, at the time of the motion, Patterson J. had > been a judge for six years and thus had not had a relationship with > his former firm for a considerable period of time. > > > 32 In my view, a reasonable person, viewing the matter > realistically would conclude that the trial judge could deal fairly > and impartially with this case. I take this view principally because > of the long passage of time and the trial judge's lack of involvement > in or knowledge of the case when the Wilson Walker firm had carriage. > In these circumstances it cannot be reasonably contended that the > trial judge could not remain impartial in the case. The mere fact that > his name appears on the letterhead of some correspondence from over a > decade ago would not lead a reasonable person to believe that he would > either consciously or unconsciously favour his former firm's former > client. It is simply not realistic to think that a judge would throw > off his mantle of impartiality, ignore his oath of office and favour a > client - about whom he knew nothing - of a firm that he left six years > earlier and that no longer acts for the client, in a case involving > events from over a decade ago. > (emphasis added) > > [19] Justice Webb had no involvement with any matter > involving Mr. Amos while he was a member of Patterson Palmer or > Patterson Law, nor does Mr. Amos suggest that he did. Mr. Amos made it > clear during the hearing of this matter that the only reason for the > alleged conflict for Justice Webb was that he was a member of > Patterson Law and Patterson Palmer. This is simply not enough for > Justice Webb to be disqualified. Any involvement of Mr. Amos with > Patterson Law while Justice Webb was a member of that firm would have > had to occur over 10 years ago and even longer for the time when he > was a member of Patterson Palmer. In addition to the lack of any > involvement on his part with any matter or dispute that Mr. Amos had > with Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer (which in and of itself is > sufficient to dispose of this matter), the length of time since > Justice Webb was a member of Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer would > also result in the same finding – that there is no conflict in Justice > Webb hearing this appeal. > > [20] Similarly in R. v. Bagot, 2000 MBCA 30, 145 Man. R. > (2d) 260, the Manitoba Court of Appeal found that there was no > reasonable apprehension of bias when a judge, who had been a member of > the law firm that had been retained by the accused, had no involvement > with the accused while he was a lawyer with that firm. > > [21] In Del Zotto v. Minister of National Revenue, [2000] 4 > F.C. 321, 257 N.R. 96, this court did find that there would be a > reasonable apprehension of bias where a judge, who while he was a > lawyer, had recorded time on a matter involving the same person who > was before that judge. However, this case can be distinguished as > Justice Webb did not have any time recorded on any files involving Mr. > Amos while he was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer or Patterson Law. > > [22] Mr. Amos also included with his submissions a CD. He > stated in his affidavit dated June 26, 2017 that there is a “true copy > of an American police surveillance wiretap entitled 139” on this CD. > He has also indicated that he has “provided a true copy of the CD > entitled 139 to many American and Canadian law enforcement authorities > and not one of the police forces or officers of the court are willing > to investigate it”. Since he has indicated that this is an “American > police surveillance wiretap”, this is a matter for the American law > enforcement authorities and cannot create, as Mr. Amos suggests, a > conflict of interest for any judge to whom he provides a copy. > > [23] As a result, there is no conflict or reasonable > apprehension of bias for Justice Webb and therefore, no reason for him > to recuse himself. > > [24] Mr. Amos alleged that Justice Near’s past professional > experience with the government created a “quasi-conflict” in deciding > the cross-appeal. Mr. Amos provided no details and Justice Near > confirmed that he had no prior knowledge of the matters alleged in the > Claim. Justice Near sees no reason to recuse himself. > > [25] Insofar as it is possible to glean the basis for Mr. > Amos’ allegations against Justice Gleason, it appears that he alleges > that she is incapable of hearing this appeal because he says he wrote > a letter to Brian Mulroney and Jean Chrétien in 2004. At that time, > both Justice Gleason and Mr. Mulroney were partners in the law firm > Ogilvy Renault, LLP. The letter in question, which is rude and angry, > begins with “Hey you two Evil Old Smiling Bastards” and “Re: me suing > you and your little dogs too”. There is no indication that the letter > was ever responded to or that a law suit was ever commenced by Mr. > Amos against Mr. Mulroney. In the circumstances, there is no reason > for Justice Gleason to recuse herself as the letter in question does > not give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias. > > > III. Issue > > [26] The issue on the cross-appeal is as follows: Did the > Judge err in setting aside the Prothonotary’s Order striking the Claim > in its entirety without leave to amend and in determining that Mr. > Amos’ allegation that the RCMP barred him from the New Brunswick > legislature in 2004 was capable of supporting a cause of action? > > IV. Analysis > > A. Standard of Review > > [27] Following the Judge’s decision to set aside the > Prothonotary’s Order, this Court revisited the standard of review to > be applied to discretionary decisions of prothonotaries and decisions > made by judges on appeals of prothonotaries’ decisions in Hospira > Healthcare Corp. v. Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology, 2016 FCA 215, > 402 D.L.R. (4th) 497 [Hospira]. In Hospira, a five-member panel of > this Court replaced the Aqua-Gem standard of review with that > articulated in Housen v. Nikolaisen, 2002 SCC 33, [2002] 2 S.C.R. 235 > [Housen]. As a result, it is no longer appropriate for the Federal > Court to conduct a de novo review of a discretionary order made by a > prothonotary in regard to questions vital to the final issue of the > case. Rather, a Federal Court judge can only intervene on appeal if > the prothonotary made an error of law or a palpable and overriding > error in determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact and > law (Hospira at para. 79). Further, this Court can only interfere with > a Federal Court judge’s review of a prothonotary’s discretionary order > if the judge made an error of law or palpable and overriding error in > determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact and law > (Hospira at paras. 82-83). > > [28] In the case at bar, the Judge substituted his own > assessment of Mr. Amos’ Claim for that of the Prothonotary. This Court > must look to the Prothonotary’s Order to determine whether the Judge > erred in law or made a palpable and overriding error in choosing to > interfere. > > > B. Did the Judge err in interfering with the > Prothonotary’s Order? > > [29] The Prothontoary’s Order accepted the following > paragraphs from the Crown’s submissions as the basis for striking the > Claim in its entirety without leave to amend: > > 17. Within the 96 paragraph Statement of Claim, the Plaintiff > addresses his complaint in paragraphs 14-24, inclusive. All but four > of those paragraphs are dedicated to an incident that occurred in 2006 > in and around the legislature in New Brunswick.

Premier hints at spring election as P.E.I. PCs kick off nomination season
'April is a time when we usually have elections on P.E.I.,' premier notes in Summerside
Thursday night in Summerside marked the first nomination meeting for the governing Progressive Conservatives as city councillor Barb Ramsay got the party nod to run in District 22 Summerside-South Drive.
Roughly 150 people were there, among them local councillors, current and former mayors of Summerside Dan Kutcher and Basil Stewart, provincial cabinet ministers, and former federal Conservative minister and MP Gail Shea.
The district is currently held by Green MLA Steve Howard, who on Thursday afternoon announced his intention to reoffer in the next provincial election.
'The
party is working hard on nominations to be ready so if and when we want
to call an election, and need to have an election, we're ready to go,'
says King. (Rick Gibbs/CBC)
Ramsay is the first candidate officially nominated in 2023 among the four major parties. Before her was Dr. Herb Dickieson, who earned the NDP nomination in District 25 O'Leary-Inverness last November.
Following Ramsay's nomination will be a flurry of nomination meetings from all parties in the coming weeks.
In the last month alone, about 30 people across the four parties have announced their intention to run, and more are issuing statements by the day. Parties are also using their social media pages to announce nomination dates, many of which are happening soon.
There's been much speculation in recent months about whether King will call a spring election or stick to the fixed election date of Oct. 2, 2023. Three of the last four provincial elections took place in the spring, including the last two in a row (2015 and 2019).
On P.E.I., we have elections every four years. Four years is April, so I think all parties are getting ready.
— Premier Dennis King
Premier Dennis King was at the nomination event in Summerside Thursday evening, four years to the day since he'd become the party leader.
He had this to say about the election date: "On P.E.I., we have elections every four years. Four years is April, so I think all parties are getting ready.
"April is a time when we usually have elections on P.E.I., but my job, as I continue to say … is just trying to do what I can to keep P.E.I. moving forward. That's my primary focus. The party is working hard on nominations to be ready so if and when we want to call an election, and need to have an election, we're ready to go."
'Hints are getting louder and clearer'
Green Leader Peter Bevan-Baker said Friday that the party already suspected a spring election might be called, and has been preparing for some time now.
"We all know it's coming," he said. "Hints are getting louder and clearer."
We are getting ready. Districts are fired up. People are very optimistic.
— Sharon Cameron
Bevan-Baker said his party's platform is "pretty well complete" and costed.
Liberal Leader Sharon Cameron, who'll be running against Bevan-Baker in District 17 New Haven-Rocky Point, called out the premier while touting her party's election readiness.
"We have a premier who repeatedly, over time, committed to the set election date in October and then broke that promise," Cameron said.
"We are getting ready. Districts are fired up. People are very optimistic and there's some winds of change. The energy is shifting a little bit."
'Without knowing the day, that is the challenge'
For Elections P.E.I., an election call means immediately mobilizing the 27 returning offices
"Without knowing the day, that is the challenge," said P.E.I.'s chief electoral officer, Tim Garrity. "We need to book locations, we need to book office spaces for our returning offices."
Tim
Garrity says Elections P.E.I. has to move quickly once an election is
triggered to get all 27 returning offices open by 9 a.m. the next day. (Shane Hennessey/CBC)
Once the premier goes to the lieutenant governor to formally ask for the current legislature to be dissolved, the election process is kickstarted. The afternoon or evening that the writs are issued will mean quick moves for Elections P.E.I., Garrity said, as all 27 returning offices will need to be open at 9 a.m. the next morning.
Snap elections bad for diversity?
The executive director of the P.E.I. Coalition for Women in Government, Sweta Daboo, said it's much better for democracy and prospective candidates when premiers abide by fixed election dates.
'We
know that youth, especially, are disadvantaged by this,' Sweta Daboo
says of growing talk about an early P.E.I. election call. (Shane Hennessey/CBC)
"We know that snap elections are bad when it comes to attracting a diverse slate of candidates, and just for democracy in general," Daboo said.
"We know that youth, especially, are disadvantaged by this because they need to give notice to their places of employment and take time off without pay to be able to campaign."
PCs 'really excited for it'
As of Friday evening, the PCs had 18 people who had publicly stated their intention to run; the Greens had five; the Liberals had five; and the NDP five.
All candidates must be nominated in their local district first. Most nominations are typically uncontested, as was the case for Ramsay in Summerside.
Premier
King has made it pretty clear it'll be some time in 2023, so that's
what we're operating off of,' says P.E.I. PC Party president Sydney
Gallant. (Cody MacKay/CBC)
PC Party president Sydney Gallant said there was a lot of energy in the room that will carry forward to the provincial election.
"This is really just the beginning of an exciting time for our party in the province," she said.
Many nominations are still to come in the weeks ahead, but Gallant said the PCs have no firm date on when the party wants to have a full slate of 27 fully nominated.
"We're all just really excited for it," she said. "Premier King has made it pretty clear it'll be some time in 2023, so that's what we're operating off of."

Statement from Peter Bevan-Baker on Election Call
Charlottetown, PE - This evening, Premier Dennis King called an election, and that means it’s time for Islanders to make a choice about who they trust to lead our province for the next four years.
Islanders will have to ask themselves some questions over the next few weeks.
Do you want four more years of crumbling healthcare, skyrocketing housing prices, out of control development, and the cost of living going up and up with no end in sight?
Or do you want a Party with a plan that will make a real difference in the lives of Islanders?
Together, we will deliver a realistic healthcare plan that puts more healthcare workers into the system and gets Islanders better access to healthcare.
Together, we will invest in affordable housing across the province and finally tackle the housing crisis that’s been ignored by Liberals and PCs for years.
Together, we will make PEI the best place to work, where businesses can succeed and workers are respected and paid what they deserve.
Together, we will protect our Island shores, our beaches, our forests, our rivers and waterways from the threats of both climate change and reckless development.
Together, we will make Prince Edward Island the best place for families, seniors, and young people to live.
The Green Party is ready. Our members are positive and full of energy. We are excited to share with Islanders our positive vision for a better future. Together, we will continue making a real difference in the lives of Islanders.

When the fox is guarding the hen house, everyone knows who wins, not
us poor chickens. The public needs their own WOLF to go after the
foxes and make sure the foxes do not come back. Poor old Wadey boy
thinks offering up a retired Liberal Judge that toes the party line,
integrity stops at the party line, so appoint an independent outside
person as conflict of interest commissioner. WE NEED INVESTIGATION
FROM OUTSIDE SOURCES, not from party hacks.

Bill, correct me I'm wrong, but isn't retired Judge McQuaid not
the brother of Peter McQuaid, provincial president of the PC Party,
and this is a move by Premier McLaughlan to keep the PCs quiet on this
issue. He obviously thinks we're all too backward to see through the
shenanigans.

You see Bill, the trouble with you is that you consider yourself
smarter than you actually are. In fact most of your comments are inane
ramblings, but then you and give us all a good laugh by saying Judge
McQuaid is a Liberal hack.

Hey buddy, nobody gets it right all the time, BUT I know this. My
gut tells me the government is corrupt, from top to bottom, and should
be investigated by outside sources. Only then might the truth come
out. Do you agree or disagree?

>>>
>>> Mr. Kirvan replaces outgoing Deputy Minister, John Sims, Q.C., who was

>>> suddenly resigned, effective April 1, 2010, a few short weeks after
>>> his misconduct was broadcast internationally via several whistle

>>> David Icke. Canada's mainstream media ignored the story.
>>>
>>> As Associate Deputy Minister of Public Safety, (RCMP) from October 1,
>>> 2007 to date, Mr. Kirvan would probably have been privy to the secret
>>> police files containing the identity of the Water War Criminals - a
>>> group that Canadian legal authorities have consistently refused to

>>>
>>> We at the WaterWarCrimes crimes web site and blog welcome the
