P.E.I. power couple: Campbell and Simone Webster both running in provincial election
Charlottetown couple Campbell Webster, left, and his wife, Simone, are
juggling a lot this month as both are running for the NDP in the April 3
P.E.I. election. - Dave Stewart/SaltWire Network
CHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I. — A Charlottetown couple is figuring out a way to combine politics, parenting, marriage, and meal-planning as they hit the campaign trail in advance of the April 3 election.
They could be making history in the process.
Simone Webster and her husband, Campbell, are possibly the only husband-wife team to run in a provincial election in P.E.I. history.
“We didn’t plan this in detail, but I thought at the time there are probably going to be a lot of take-out suppers for a while," Simone laughed, as she and Campbell talked about what goes into making such as commitment – as husband and wife, parents and now NDP candidates.
“It was to help the party and give an option to the people," Campbell said in an interview with Saltwire Network at Timothy’s World Coffee in Charlottetown, which he owns and operates.

Family ties
The decision to run also means trying to balance the pressures campaigning brings with having a family.
Simone and Campbell have two children, Louis, 13, and Sophie, 11.
“We looked at it as an opportunity for them to learn more about elections and parties," Simone said, adding that former NDP leader Joe Byrne is Sophie’s godfather, so the children have been exposed to politics for a long time.
Campbell also served as campaign manager for Byrne in the past.
“He is always at our house, and there are always (political) signs at his house. They’ve grown up around that orange (NDP) colour around them. Sometimes they take left-over signs and build stuff," Simone said. “One time, they put a Joe Byrne sign on a remote-control car and raced it up and down the street to help him campaign," Campbell chuckled.

election for Charlottetown-Victoria Park. He is also the godfather to
the Websters' daughter, Sophie. - Logan MacLean/SaltWire Network file
Simone and Campbell are both quick to add they do not exclude the children from anything during the campaign.
“We look at it as a family event, as civic engagement for the kids," she said.
“They are great participators," Campbell added. “Louis has become very concerned about being respectful and natural, concerned that (our) campaign signs are not in the way of other candidates’ signs. Sophie is a bit more combative.’’
Previous husband-wife teams
Following is information on husband-and-wife teams involved in P.E.I. politics:
- In the 1960s, when Cardigan MP John A Macdonald died suddenly, the federal Progressive Conservatives nominated his widow, Margaret Macdonald, to run in the ensuing by-election.
- She won and was the first woman in P.E.I. history to be elected to either a federal or provincial riding.
- Margaret Macdonald was defeated in the next general election.
- The first woman wasn’t elected to provincial office until 1951.
- Kathleen Casey and her former husband Sean Casey were both in at the same time, but Kathleen was in the P.E.I. legislature while Sean was the MP for Charlottetown, a role he still holds.

The couple said they are occasionally reminded to give the political talk a rest at the supper table, but the topic does come up a lot.
And even though the couple is both running for the same party, they do admit to the occasional slight disagreement.
“I’m a little less polite," Campbell said.
“Simone correctly tells me to shut up sometimes," he laughed. “She’s more kind.’’
Simone said the disagreements merely come down to how they get their points across.
“It can come down to how you phrase something.’’
However, Campbell said everything is kept in perspective.
“My favourite place to be all the time is with my two children and my wife and everything goes through that filter first," Campbell said. “I tend not to do events at night. I won’t go to things if it means not being with the kids. We’re committed, but we’re not over-committed.’’
Simone said she tries to attend as many events and canvass during the day as she can.
“We’re still taking the kids to soccer," Simone said. “We may drop somebody off and then run off to do something for the campaign and then run back to pick them up. We’re kind of woven into the whole thing.’’
How it started
Campbell said the couple was sitting down one day with Byrne, who led the NDP in the 2019 provincial election when they decided to put their names forward.
“...so, we were just discussing it with Joe and thought, ‘Let’s all three of us put our names forward to offer three good candidates,’ if I can be so bold as to call ourselves good candidates and credible candidates," Campbell said.
Simone, who ran for the NDP in Charlottetown-Brighton in the 2019 provincial election, put her name forward this year in Charlottetown-West Royalty while Campbell has offered in Charlottetown-Winsloe.
Top five
SaltWire Network asked Campbell and Simone Webster five fun things they do when not talking politics:
- Watching the kids play soccer.
- Storytelling and joking around.
- Visiting Simone’s family in Switzerland.
- Listening to the kids criticize Campbell’s cooking.
- Playing squash or going cross-country skiing as a family.

Zack Bell gets PC nod for Charlottetown-Winsloe byelection
Bell wins nomination on 2nd ballot
Bell, a former radio personality, won on the second ballot after voting closed on Saturday, and was declared the winner at an in-person meeting in Charlottetown at about 5:20 p.m.
Three candidates were seeking the nomination: Bell, educational assistant Susie Dillon, and Sonya Hooper, the executive director of the Early Childhood Development Association.
"I am feeling just overwhelmed and very excited for the next step," Bell said after winning Saturday evening.
"Well, the next step, obviously, is to win the district."
Only contested race
So far, the Progressive Conservatives are the only party to have a contested race and hold an indoor, in-person event in the lead up to the byelection, which is the province's first during the pandemic.

In person voting had been taking place since Friday and closed at 4 p.m. Saturday. About 45 people attended the nomination meeting, including Premier Dennis King and cabinet members.
"I was very, very grateful to have three amazing candidates and the process of democracy unfolds the way it did, and I'm very happy to have Zack as a candidate," said Premier King.
"I've known him for a very long time and I've known him only to be a hard worker. A good, honest, genuine, community minded person."

PCs announced their candidate Saturday at the former Sherwood BMR
building on Mount Edward Road. Participants had to register in advance
and sign forms attesting they did not have COVID-like symptoms. (Nicola MacLeod/CBC)
Bell said he admires King's collaborative approach to government.
"It is a very difficult time right now for a lot of people, and I do think that a collaborative approach is the best way," he said.
"I coach a lot of teams and, you know, it's not where I go in and say 'this is how we're going to do things,' it's more like, 'ok guys, how can we do this to have the best possible outcome'?"
There were 398 votes cast in the first ballot, and 389 in the second. The party did not reveal the results of the ballots; only that Bell had won.
Challenging minority status
King's Progressive Conservatives hold a minority government on P.E.I. with 13 of the 27 seats in the legislature. A win in District 10 would give King numbers for a majority.
This is also the second district to have a byelection since the general election in April 2019. Progressive Conservative Natalie Jameson also won her seat in a deferred election in July 2019.
Bell said he feels confident in his candidacy and the opportunity, but not pressured.
"My main thought in the last two weeks was on seeing how successful I could become with this nomination," he said.
"I'm always one of those people who, again, to use a sports analogy, you know, you're not starting to think about the end of the game while you're still in the first period."
Though a date for a byelection has not been set, the parties are getting ready. The NDP announced Lynne Thiele as its candidate at a small, outdoor gathering on Saturday and the Liberals announced Zac Murphy as the candidate late Friday night.
The Greens have opened their nominations but have not announced a candidate.

NDPs, Liberals announce byelection candidates after uncontested nominations
Zac Murphy will run for the Liberals while Lynne Thiele snags the NDP nomination
The Liberals announced Zac Murphy as their candidate on Facebook Friday evening, while the NDP announced Lynne Thiele as its candidate at an in-person event in Charlottetown on Saturday morning.
The candidates were the sole nominees for their parties.
"I expect that I will listen a lot to what the people tell me is their priority, but what I'm hearing already is that people are having a hard time," Thiele said after accepting her nomination in an event attended by 10 people.
Despite the fact that the party holds no seats in the Island's legislature, she said she wants to educate Islanders about what is possible — focusing on health-care issues, housing, and land and water protections.
"Our provincial premier loves conversations and he loves to promise that the land protection [is] going to happen, that water protection is going to happen," she said.
"He has the backing of a Green Party. What's stopping us from having a really strong land protection bill?
"Government needs to be held accountable ... the PCs and the Greens, they haven't done it yet. So I think, yes, we want to push them. Conversations aren't enough."

Thiele was a teacher for 30 years.
She is also a writer and social activist who has previously run for the NDP provincially and federally. She has also held leadership positions with the Island New Democrats, including on the executive, committees and council.
Open seat
The seat in District 10 was vacated by Robert Mitchell, who announced his retirement last month. Mitchell was MLA for Charlottetown-Winsloe and the previous Charlottetown-Sherwood district for 13 years.
He also served as interim Liberal leader in 2019 after Wade MacLauchlan was defeated in the provincial election.
Murphy, 29, is a financial adviser with Younker & Kelly in Charlottetown.
"I think the Liberal Party is sort of rebuilding a little bit right now, and it's important to attract new young candidates," he said.
"Robert Mitchell served the district very well for the last 13 years, and I think it's important that we take the things that he did well and continue to build on those while sort of keeping an eye on the future."
Murphy, who grew up in the district, says his priorities as Liberal candidate are education services, school infrastructure projects like the West Royalty expansion and the new Sherwood school, as well as mental health and addiction services.
"We're feeling optimistic, but we aren't taking anything for granted. We know that one of the most important things that we have to do going forward is listening to the residents of District 10."
'I'm
young. I'm 29 years old, so I hope that I can bring a fresh kind of
youthful perspective to the Legislative Assembly if I was to be
elected,' says Liberal candidate Zac Murphy. (Nicola MacLeod/CBC)
The Island's Progressive Conservatives announced their candidate after a nomination convention on Saturday. Zack Bell won among three nominees.
No byelection call
Premier Dennis King still has not announced a date for the byelection, but it is expected to come any day.
King's government holds a minority government with 13 seats in the 27-seat legislature. The Greens hold eight seats while the Liberals hold five — six prior to Mitchell stepping down.
A PC win in the byelection would give the Progressive Conservatives 14 seats -- enough to form a majority.
The Greens have not announced a candidate but have opened nominations.

Zack Bell wins byelection in Charlottetown-Winsloe

byelection on Nov. 2. - Daniel Brown/Local Journalism Initiative
Reporter
CHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I. — Zack Bell of the Progressive Conservatives will be taking a seat inside the rail of the Coles Building in November as P.E.I.'s newest member of the legislative assembly.
Bell, a former radio host with Hot 105.5, won decisively in the Charlottetown-Winsloe byelection on Monday night, capturing 49.1 per cent of the vote.
Green candidate Chris van Ouwerkerk drew 27.4 per cent of the vote, while Liberal candidate Zac Muphy drew 22.3 per cent. The NDP's Lynne Thiele garnered 1.3 per cent of the vote.
The turnout in Monday's byelection was 67 per cent of eligible voters.
In a speech, Bell thanked his family, members of his campaign team, and Premier Dennis King.
"I am so excited to join your team and bring a strong voice for District 10, Charlottetown-Winsloe residents," Bell said. "I'm excited to continue to help Islanders during these unprecedented times and I will do that with the residents of District 10 in mind."
Zack Bell listens to a speech from Premier Dennis King with his son Harrison and his daughter Sofia.
The win for Bell has inched the Progressive Conservatives into majority government status, albeit by a single vote.
The PC's now hold 14 of 27 seats in the legislature, although one seat is occupied by Speaker Colin LaVie. A speaker generally acts as a neutral party, but will cast a vote in case of a tie.
Since becoming a minority government after the 2019 election, Premier King has frequently spoken positively of working with the Opposition Greens, who hold eight seats, and with the Liberals, who now hold five.
On Monday night, King said the slim majority status of his party would change little in how he governs.
"For me, it's business as usual," King said in an interview. "What we have done all along, and what we will continue to do, is work with other parties. If they have questions about legislation or motions or budgetary decisions, we go back and we work with them."
King also suggested that votes from LaVie would not necessarily be in government's favour in cases of a tie.
"We can't be relying on that as a sure vote in the box for us on a contentious issue," he said of a scenario involving a vote by the speaker.
Premier
Dennis King speaks after the byelection victory of Progressive
Conservative candidate Zack Bell. The byelection victory puts King's
governing PC party in majority territory in P.E.I.
Monday's byelection was triggered after the sudden resignation of former Liberal MLA Robert Mitchell. Mitchell was known as a politician dedicated to constituency-level issues.
In an interview, Bell said mental health and addictions and education were the two most prominent issues raised by residents of Charlottetown-Winsloe.
When asked if he was willing to hold his own government to account on issues that are of priority to residents of Charlottetown-Winsloe, Bell said he would if necessary.
"It is the residents of Charlottetown-Winsloe that have put their support behind me. Depending on what the issue is, I have to stick up for the residents," Bell said. "I go back to what the residents have said. Mental health and addictions, that's something that I think the government has done a great job, but I think more needs to be done."
The PC's have been polling above the opposition Green and Liberal parties by a healthy margin since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. The low count of cases of the COVID-19 virus, as well as the lack of community spread or hospitalizations, has no doubt raised the popularity of both King and his governing party.
P.E.I. Progressive Conservative MLAs Bloyce Thompson, Matthew MacKay,
Cory Deagle and James Aylward watch as result come in during the
Charlottetown-Winsloe byelection on Monday night at a PC watch party. PC
candidate Zack Bell won the byelection by a healthy margin.
When asked whether King would consider Bell, whom he has known for 30 years, for a cabinet position, King did not dismiss the possibility.
"As a premier you hold that chance to take a look at things, of how things are operating. We're about 18 months in and that's a time when you might take a deeper look at how people are performing," King said. "As a premier, you never answer that question with a yes-no answer. Stay tuned is always the best answer."

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.

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.

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.

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.
