Methinks it is interesting that Cory Deagle and Colin LaVie did not make the grade Perhaps they should be bold and cross the floor in order to join the Greens ASAP N'esy Pas?

I don't live in PEI, but I've seen the folly of Liberal governments in the east. NB is now on the right path, PEI is now on the right path, and hopefully Nfld&Lab will turf the red menace.
My advice would be, to be smart, be patient, build slowly making common sense changes for the betterment of the people of the province, and plan to earn a majority position next election. Meanwhile, good luck, and thanks for helping Canada recover from economically devastating socialism. Your biggest challenge? Getting people to understand that the Greens are an activist group who appeal strongest to people who are emotionally vulnerable--guilt trips especially. They see logic in their platform, but many of the rest of Canadians, don't. They will eventually self-destruct, but don't wait for that to happen. Be pro-active, rational, and help the Greens fail.

Methinks most folks agree that Mr Ball and the liberals have the election in the bag whether the Newfies want them or not because of the bad history of the Conservatives on the Rock N'esy Pas?

It would be nice to some cooperation from this government. It might even show cons across the country that it is possible to live in a world where they don't get the final say on everything, every time.

Why are they waiting 5 weeks before sitting in the legislature? By the time they get settled in, they will only have 2 weeks before they break for summer

Mr LaVie has been there since the days Tories were eating their own on a regular basis, yet he is passed over. Dennis, Dennis, Dennis....

We need to know the qualifications now of politicians who are appointed Environment Ministers and I see that the Environment Min. for PEI by the name of Brad Trivers has no science or biology qualifications for his position either just like Fed. Environment Min, Catherine McKenna lacks. According to his bio his only experience is as an information technology consultant. And then we wonder why Canada is in such a mess and warming up at twice the rate globally. When are we going to wake up?

Forbes: You're just figuring out the lack of qualifications in political
positions now? I believe Paula Biggar had 0 qualification to be
Minister of TIE and I'm willing to bet she wasn't the only Minister
lacking.....

Just a reminder to ALLpoliticians.......over 1 MILLION species at risk of extinction and counting because of us. Don't forget or we will be next. Our children are counting on us to become better and more responsible because so far we have failed on all counts when it comes to the protection of our only home - this glorious Planet Earth.

aka George Carlin explained that awful fact a long time ago N'esy Pas?
The planet’ll be here and we’ll be long gone. Just another failed mutation. Just another closed-end biological mistake. An evolutionary cul-de-sac. The planet’ll shake us off like a bad case of fleas.
"The planet will be here for a long, long, LONG time after we’re gone, and it will heal itself, it will cleanse itself, ’cause that’s what it does. It’s a self-correcting system. The air and the water will recover, the earth will be renewed. And if it’s true that plastic is not degradable, well, the planet will simply incorporate plastic into a new paradigm: the earth plus plastic. The earth doesn’t share our prejudice toward plastic. Plastic came out of the earth. The earth probably sees plastic as just another one of its children. Could be the only reason the earth allowed us to be spawned from it in the first place. It wanted plastic for itself. Didn’t know how to make it. Needed us. Could be the answer to our age-old egocentric philosophical question, “Why are we here?”

Catastrophic failure by @PEIPCParty @PC_Caucus_PEI to vet leadership candidates. Do Tory MLAs agree with leader’s offensive tweets? #peipoli

King has said he intends to have a legislature sitting starting in mid-June. The sitting would include a throne speech and budget.

'Be bold, be courageous' new P.E.I. premier tells his cabinet
'The success of this mandate will be judged by the performance of the members of all three parties'
A new Progressive Conservative government was sworn in on P.E.I. Thursday morning.
Dennis King was sworn in as premier, along with an eight-member cabinet, by Lt.-Gov. Antoinette Perry at 11 a.m. in Georgetown.
- Dennis King, premier, responsible for intergovernmental affairs, Indigenous relations, Acadian and francophone affairs.
- Darlene Compton, deputy premier, Finance, responsible for status of women.
- James Aylward, Health and Wellness, responsible for greater Charlottetown.
- Steven Myers Transportation, Infrastructure and Energy.
- Jamie Fox, Fisheries and Communities.
- Matthew MacKay, Economic Growth, Tourism and Culture, responsible for Greater Summerside.
- Brad Trivers, Education and Lifelong Learning; Environment, Water and Climate Change.
- Ernie Hudson, Social Development and Housing.
- Bloyce Thompson, Agriculture and Land; Justice and Public Safety; Attorney General.
Speaking after the cabinet was sworn in, King grew emotional in thanking the lieutenant-governor for accommodating him in holding the ceremony in Georgetown, the place where he was born, with his friends and family present.
"My mom is here and I wish she would stop crying so I could pull myself together," he said.
King returned to the theme of co-operation and collaboration, prominent during the campaign and after the election.
"Islanders are watching us. They have given us their confidence. They want us to work together. Let's give them want they want," he said.
LIVE
"The success of this mandate will be judged by the performance of the members of all three parties."
He offered this advice to the members of his new cabinet.
"I encourage you to lead with confidence, and lead with humility. Always with the best interests of P.E.I. at heart, and embrace this wonderful challenge that lies before us. Be bold, be courageous, be different, be kind, co-operate with your legislative colleagues, be open to good ideas, share the credit, put the interests of Islanders at the heart of every decision," he said.
"If we do that we will be living up to the oaths we have sworn on this stage here this morning."
"I hope that members of all parties, perhaps, run," said King.
"I'm prepared to let the members of the legislature decide that."
No Liberals or Greens
Shortly after the election King suggested a mixed-party cabinet was possible, but in the end he opted for an all PC cabinet.
King's Progressive Conservatives won the most seats in the legislature in the April 23 election with 12. The Green Party won eight and the Liberals six. It is the first minority government on the Island since the 19th century.
Students from Georgetown Elementary were invited to the ceremony, and sang the national anthem. King is a former student of the school.
