'It's been an honour': Wayne Easter announces he won't reoffer in next federal election

Easter has been the Liberal MP for Malpeque since 1993

MP Wayne Easter announces he won't reoffer for federal politics

Duration 2:03
After almost 28 years, Easter is giving others a chance to run for the Liberals in the riding of Malpeque, P.E.I.
 
 P.E.I. member of Parliament for Malpeque Wayne Easter announced Monday he will not be reoffering for federal politics, ending a 28-year run that began in 1993.

Born in 1949, Easter will be 72 years old next week.

Easter told CBC News he'd been thinking about it for a long time. "There's other things to do in life, it's been nine terms, 28 years, and it's time for others to take over the reins," he said.

"When I first started in politics, there was no internet, and that's a long, long time. I feel it's the right thing for me to do."

To his constituents, Easter said: "It's been an honour to serve them. It's as simple as that. It's been an honour."

Broke news in House of Commons

Easter broke the news in the House of Commons on Monday. He said at that time: "I am announcing that I will not be reoffering as the candidate in the riding of Malpeque in the next federal election. I will be joining with others not running tomorrow evening for speeches and to give heartfelt thank yous."

The next federal election is scheduled for October 2023, but Easter pointed out there are rumours there may be one before then, and he wanted to give others ample time to consider representing the Liberals in Malpeque — one of four federal ridings on P.E.I.

"It is close to 28 years since I was first elected to this chamber, and when I'm there in person I'm always in awe of its traditions, its history and the opportunity it provides for members to have a say in the legislative mandate and governance of this country," Easter said. 

"It's been my honour to work with and serve the residents of Malpeque for nine terms."

Premier King, Lawrence MacAulay respond

P.E.I. Premier Dennis King issued a statement early Monday evening.

"On behalf of the Government of Prince Edward Island, I want to thank Wayne Easter for his 28 years of public service as the Member of Parliament for Malpeque," he said.

"Wayne has been a friend and ally to our government since 2019 — always willing to work collaboratively for the best interest of all Islanders. I would like to wish Wayne, Helen, Kimberley, and Jamie and their grandchildren all the best in Wayne's retirement from public life."

Cardigan MP Lawrence MacAulay, a longtime colleague of Easter, Tweeted Monday: "Been a pleasure serving with you, my friend," he said. "Wishing you the very best!"

P.E.I.'s biggest issues as the campaign draws to a close


 
 
 

The Writ Podcast - Ep. #87: Final stretch in PEI's election

1.6K subscribers
Stuart Neatby on where things stand a few days before PEI's votes are counted. https://www.thewrit.ca/ Dennis King’s Progressive Conservatives kicked off the Prince Edward Island election campaign with a big lead in the polls, seemingly leaving the only real battle to be between Peter Bevan-Baker’s Greens and Sharon Cameron’s Liberals for official opposition status. But are King’s PCs still on track for a big majority win, maybe even a sweep? Or did any of the campaign’s controversies or this past week’s leaders debate change the dial? Back to wrap this campaign is Stuart Neatby, political reporter for the Charlottetown Guardian and the Saltwire Network.
 


The King audio is an interesting one with many undercurrents. Perhaps is Kevin Arsenault, having lost to King in the prior PC leadership election, still bitter and is using this to damage King and therefor was baiting him into a corner to extract that sort of remark? It clearly couldn't have been recorded with King's consent, and could very well be why the other parties have shied away from the issue - also for fear of the other parties potentially saying the wrong thing that could backfire on themselves immensely to further help the PC's (not that they need much help given recent polling). I doubt that Dennis King is at all homophobic or transphobic, but he seems like an easy target to manipulate or bait into giving an answer that would either please the room or make himself look bad.
 
Methinks the Arsenault dude has a very interesting blog and mailing address to say the least N'esy Pas?
 
 
 
 
I think the sweep scenario is one of the best arguments for electoral reform.
 
we were so close....
 
I disagree
 
Michael Subasic
 @David Amos  I'm curious to know why. Isn't having a loyal opposition a necessary part of a functioning democracy? And if FPTP can't deliver that (and sometimes it doesn't). That seems pretty hard evidence that it is flawed.
 
 
 @Michael Subasic  I am not permitted to reply????

Stop dismissing the tape. Whether he holds the views or not he was reinforcing those bigoted views which is bad.

Mr. David Amos (As an Individual) at the Electoral Reform Committee

On October 7th, 2016. See this statement in context.

David Amos As an Individual

Mr. Chair, I ran for public office five times against your party. That said, I ran against Mr. DeCourcey's boss right here in Fredericton in the election for the 39th Parliament.

I was not aware of this committee meeting in Fredericton today until I heard Mr. DeCourcey speaking on CBC this morning. I don't pretend to know something I don't, but I'm a quick study. I thought I had paid my dues to sit on the panel. I notified the clerks in a timely fashion, but I received no response. At least I get another minute and a half.

The previous speaker answered the $64,000 question: 338. I can name every premier in the country. Governor Maggie Hassan is my governor in New Hampshire. The people there who sit in the house get paid $100 a year plus per diem expenses. I think that's the way to run a government. There are lots of seats in the house for a very small state.

My understanding of this hearing is that you have to report to Mr. Trudeau by December 1, because he said during the election that if he were elected Prime Minister, the 42nd Parliament, which I also ran in, would be the last first-past-the-post election. You don't have much time, so my suggestion to the clerks today, which I published and sent to the Prime Minister of Iceland and his Attorney General, was to do what Iceland does. Just cut and paste their rules. They have no first past the post. They have a pending election.

A former friend of mine, Birgitta Jónsdóttir, founded a party there, for which there is no leader. It is the Pirate Party. It's high in the polls right now with no leader. That's interesting. I tweeted this. You folks said that you follow tweets, so you should have seen what I tweeted before I came here this evening.

That said, as a Canadian, I propose something else. Number one, my understanding of the Constitution and what I read about law.... There was a constitutional expert named Edgar Schmidt who sued the government. He was the man who was supposed to vet bills for Peter MacKay to make sure they were constitutionally correct. He did not argue the charter. He argued Mr. Diefenbaker's Bill of Rights.

In 2002 I read a document filed by a former deputy minister of finance, Kevin Lynch, who later became Mr. Harper's clerk of the Privy Council. Now he's on an independent board of the Chinese oil company that bought Nexen. As deputy minister of finance, he reported to the American Securities and Exchange Commission on behalf of the corporation known as Canada. It is a very interesting document that I saved and forwarded to you folks. It says that he was in a quandary about whether the charter was in effect.

Kevin Arsenault enters race for leadership of P.E.I.'s PC party

Says Islanders need to 'confront and solve' social, economic and environmental issues

CBC News · Posted: Dec 05, 2018 9:18 PM AST

"People say ethics and politics don't mix. I say it's time they started," Arsenault told the crowd of about 70 people at Charlottetown's Murchison Centre. "Government should belong to the people. I'm going to do a whole lot to make that happen."

Climate change is a global issue, best suited in a sovereignty-based world for national governments to deal with, or at most, the largest states/provinces. For a provincial government of a province as small as PEI, focusing on it (which entails opportunity costs of not focusing as much on other more local issues) does the populace no good service. We need our MLAs to fix healthcare, housing, and education. They can't begin to make a dent in climate change, so any time wasted on it is pure virtual signaling.

THE JUGGERNAUT
 
In this last post before the election I would like to tie up a few loose ends with regard to the presence of Bliss and Wisdom on PEI.
 
The following email from 2019 provides very interesting and possibly troubling information. Was it I wonder an early harbinger of growing tension within Bliss and Wisdom between the Taiwanese and the Chinese..
 
The email reveals the fear senior GEBIS monk Walter Tsai. (see at end of post) "We are trying to avoid trouble," he says. and mentions potential problem around the issuing of visas. Did he know then the Chinese Government would stop issuing visas through the Taiwanese owned Moonlight Academy? Did he fear the Chinese groups would separate from the control of GEBIS, and go their own way when it came to purchasing their own lands, and setting up their own corporations etc.? 
 
We know now that the Chinese corporation ‘Compassion and Grace Institute’ is doing just that; purchasing land for subdivisions, developing multiple housing properties and even buying and creating their own construction companies. 
 
Is there a serious rift developing.
 
The fear of the forcible reunification of Taiwan with China is real. It will happen as it did in Hong Kong. We all know the exodus of residents and capital that fled Hong Kong due to Communist China’s Government removing democracy.
 
In other words, GEBIS PEI and Bliss and Wisdom were trying to eliminate the Chinese nuns organizations here on PEI? But why? It makes one wonder if the widely feared attack on Taiwan
by China is reverberating here in PEI. You also have to ask how all of this is affecting the small children in the Monasteries who are caught in the middle of this tension? We know our provincial Government is tasked to do an annual “inspection” but how much do we know about what changes are being made to our Government’s approach to accommodate these changing circumstances? 
 
We supported GEBIS and GWBI in the beginning. They were lauded as two completely autonomous groups who were here for peace and quiet. Now there are actually five groups, three Chinese and two Taiwanese Government approved. One wonders what we have gotten ourselves into here on PEI? 
 
I can not predict the outcome of Monday's election, but I will predict immigration will become a much bigger concern in the following election. It is more important now than it ever was for islanders to demand questions be answered surrounding this group.
 
It's no longer us asking questions about how many work visas and student visas are being issued every year now; rather, for how many thousands of immigrants or refugees are those five wealthy organizations preparing. And if you are still one of those who disbelieves all of this, and takes false comfort in the fact that GEBIS and GWBI haven’t exceeded their permitted acreage, then you are in for quite a shock, for as you read the five Buddhist groups, their nuns and monks, their highly devoted parents and followers, and their affiliated corporations are preparing the venue for those who will be coming. 
 
We have already revealed how the Hopetown
 
Development Group and GEBIS International have met with our Government explaining the massive plans for sites such as Hopetown. Does our Government already know what is coming? 
 
Walter Tsai, quoted above, is attendant to Master Jen Ru, he is brother to Nun Yvonne Tsai at GWBI who holds power of being Director of Finance for what will be the central location of Bliss and Wisdoms financial division here in Prince Edward Island. 
 
Walter and Yvonnes mother is General Manager of Leezen International stores, and Walter and Yvonne's Father is Consultant for Bliss and Wisdom in Kunming China. And listed as the director in several huge companies. And that is just one family. 
 
Another aspect of all this connivance was mentioned by Nun Yvonne during the Deagle standing committee where she as well as Nun Joanna attempted to explain the movement of large money transfers and donations to their own organization. And the beat goes on.
 
And for anyone who still thinks these Groups are not all connected, please view the Certificate of registration for GEBIS below. Gebis was the first group here, but is one with all the other groups that followed, and there is no good reason to believe that, if unchecked, the juggernaut is going to slow down any time soon.

 

 

 

 

 

 
 

EPISODE 9: QUID PRO QUO – IT APPEARS DENNIS KING COMMITTED ELECTION FRAUD?

PREAMBLE


During the last PC Leadership Campaign (2018-19), it became known to at least some of the candidates, that a number of unsavoury and preferential occurrences were happening with Denny King and his hard-core campaign team.

He had all the heavy-hitters on his team, key players from the backroom. Adam Ross quit his position with the PC Party to work full-time to get Denny the leadership; and Margaret Ann Walsh left her position on the PEI PC Party Executive to become his Campaign Manager, but not until AFTER she was done vetting his competitors, the other candidates, including me.

There was controversy from the get-go, with contender Shawn Driscoll raising concerns about Ross’s resignation.

Kerri Carpenter also sat on the Executive and participated in the candidate vetting[she also sat on the dispute resolution committee that had been set up for the Campaign], and had rented her building to Denny, which the rest of us complained about, so she too resigned. 

Carpenter would likely deny it, but she sure seemed “all in for Denny” to me at the time. 

Shawn Driscoll had contacted the rest of us with information about Carpenter’s dealings with Denny. We supported him in his bid to have her removed, on the strength of the facts he had uncovered, and we all signed a letter to that effect.

Shawn was unfortunately sitting in the front of the wagon behind the horse when the tail suddenly lifted, for instigating the action, and was immediately taken off the Christmas Card mailing list of every PC Backroomers from tip to tip to tip! Ouch.

Carpenter then resigned. But her building lived on in the saga, first as Denny’s headquarters during the PC Leadership race, then through the election Campaign, and apparently, Ms. Carpenter has since swung a sweet deal when Hon. Steven Myers was Minister of Transportation, and (I haven’t verified, but got the information from a very reliable source) has a lease on the building with the Department of Transportation until at least the second Coming. Bravo Kerri!

I could go on and on with the names and connections and supporters of King that I witnessed – names that show up now as “appointments” or people involved in deals, etc., but that’s enough context on a wider scale…time to get back to the very serious matter that is the meat and potatoes of this article. 

Suffice it to say that as the campaign progressed, the backroom emerged more and more from the shadows, and all those who said they were “neutral” and wanted to let the membership decide were frantically taking out ads in the newspapers, tweeting and doing photo-ops for Denny, even the MLAs like Stephen Myers and Sidney MacEwan who swore they weren’t endorsing any candidates…all of a sudden there was a full-court press from them all for Denny!

There were also rumours of a secret fund for Denny having been raised. I was told directly by someone who had first-hand knowledge, but to be honest, without any documented evidence, I wasn’t certain I wasn’t being set up to make some public claim that was false. At any rate, that’s not something I do, so because during the campaign I had no proof, I never mentioned or wrote about it, although I figured it was indeed true: that King had been the beneficiary of secret, mostly ‘cash’ funds, to support his campaign…funds that he did not declare as campaign donations.

Proof now seems to have come with the latest court filing by Maines in the lawsuit against Dennis King et. al.. In particular, in the form of information and documentation obtained by Private Investigator, Derrick Snowdy, which he swore to as factually true in a second Affidavit that I’ll get to in a minute, after just a bit of background on how Snowdy came to be the person both receiving, and then swearing to that critically-important information.

JR apparently met with Snowdy last August, and it was to Snowdy JR was going to provide – as a whistle-blower – the confidential documents (nearly 900) on the “Gamesys Proposal”.

There were a number of back-and-forth messages between Maines and JR concerning providing the documents to Snowdy in a Manila envelop via mail, to protect JR’s identity. Up until JR’s decision not to provide the documents he agreed to provide, JR’s identity as the “whistle-blower” was being protected by Maines in the legal filing. Snowdy’s first Affidavit, filed with the original Motion that is seeking an Order to preserve private emails of Defendants, referred to JR only as either the “whistle-blower,” or anonymously as “Smith”. 

The back-and-forth between Maines and JR regarding his release of documents to Snowdy happened in June-July, 2021. JR had secured a position with the ALC after 3 weeks on the “inside” with the Gamesys Proposal group, and had not signed any non-disclosure agreements or was not beholden to that group in any way apparently, and was now safe and secure with his new job at the Atlantic Lottery Commission and was talking strategy with Maines on being a whistle-blower:

 
 
 
 

Kevin Arsenault enters race for leadership of P.E.I.'s PC party

Says Islanders need to 'confront and solve' social, economic and environmental issues

Kevin Arsenault kicked off his leadership bid Wednesday night.

"People say ethics and politics don't mix. I say it's time they started," Arsenault told the crowd of about 70 people at Charlottetown's Murchison Centre. "Government should belong to the people. I'm going to do a whole lot to make that happen."

Arsenault, 60, has served in leadership roles in agriculture and immigration as executive director of both the National Farmers Union and the P.E.I. Association for Newcomers to Canada.  He holds a PhD from McGill University and has taught ethics and religious studies at UPEI.

"People know me because of my writing and research and, I guess, my tenacity," said Arsenault.

During his 40-minute speech, Arsenault attacked the Liberal government's record, especially in immigration and agricultural policy, calling the government's actions "corrupt."

"I overestimated the degree of ethics that were in government," Arsenault told the crowd at one point, to loud applause.

"Lock 'em up!" shouted a man in the crowd.  The remark drew scattered laughter.

If chosen leader and then elected premier, Arsenault will "put an end to the persistent corruption and self-serving scandals that have made P.E.I. a national embarrassment under the Liberals during the past decade," according to a written statement provided before Wednesday's meeting.

Since leaving the Newcomers Association in 2010, Arsenault has worked as an organic market gardener, consultant and as a self-described independent investigative reporter. During his speech, he read from his own writings and referred listeners to his website for more. 

Arsenault told the crowd he feels good about running for leadership of the PCs, win or lose.

"They say a clear conscience is the best pillow," said Arsenault. "I'll sleep well knowing I tried."

Four other candidates — Allan Dale, Shawn Driscoll, Dennis King and Sarah Stewart-Clark — previously announced their leadership bids.

Current PC leader James Aylward will remain in his role until a new leader is chosen at the leadership convention Feb. 9 at the Eastlink Centre in Charlottetown.

Land ownership questions draw a big crowd in Kings County

Buddhist monks say they are not 'using shell companies to buy up land' in Eastern P.E.I.

A grassroots land-protection group is calling on the Island Regulatory and Appeals Commission to investigate the ownership of land in the Kings County area of Prince Edward Island.

More than 200 people attended a public forum in Montague on Saturday, organized by the Coalition for the Protection of P.E.I. Lands.

"This is a big issue within Three Rivers," said Shane MacDonald, one of the speakers at the meeting. "A lot of people have been waking up to the actual mass of purchases of large corporations in the Three Rivers area or even just Eastern P.E.I."

The meeting focused mainly on land owned by two Buddhist monasteries in Kings County, as well as land owned by corporations or individuals that coalition organizers believe to be affiliated with the Buddhist movement on P.E.I.

The coalition has concerns over what it sees as a concentration of land ownership, and the impact of rising land prices on the local community.

"Multiple properties being sold and resold to non-residents is giving us massive inflation," MacDonald told CBC News on Monday. "There's evidence to see that a lot was sold a year ago for $20,000 and then sold for $100,000 a year after that. That's a massive increase."

'A lot of people have been waking up,' says Shane MacDonald. 'People are generally concerned about the future of the land,' says Shane MacDonald. (Brian Higgins/CBC)

He added: "People are generally concerned about the future of the land and how future generations are going to be able to purchase land."

Limits on land accumulation

Coalition organizers say people and corporations they believe to be associated with the Buddhist community in Kings County are conducting real estate transactions that, in the view of the coalition, contravene the spirit — if not the letter — of Prince Edward Island's Lands Protection Act.

The Lands Protection Act places limits on the amount of land that can be owned by any single person or corporation. A person can't have more than 1,000 acres, and a corporation can't exceed 3,000 acres in total.

The coalition says real estate transactions involving 15,500 acres of land in Kings County can be traced back to an entity or entities with the name "Bliss and Wisdom." 

The coalition claims to have examined the ownership details given for some of the entities and found that names of owners and directors of various entities overlap in some cases. That leads the coalition to speculate that the organizations are linked. CBC has not independently verified those claims. 

The data examined was gathered from "Canada tax, GeoLinc and ... two or three other organizations," according to Douglas Campbell, district director of the National Farmers Union.

"On government's part, there's been a blind eye turned to what is going on," Campbell told CBC News.

The coalition has also complained that crop land they believe to be affiliated with the Buddhist community is not being farmed, and instead left fallow. 

Social media contains misinformation, say monks 

A spokesman for Great Enlightenment Buddhist Institute Society monks living communally in Kings County say the monks are dismayed and alarmed by what they say is rumour and misinformation.

"It's not true that they are using shell companies to buy up land in Kings County," said Xing Chang, a monk who identifies himself in English as Venerable Dan.

"Some people have solidified a conclusion about us... There's clearly a disconnect."

Venerable Dan says the Great Enlightenment Buddhist Institute Society (GEBIS) owns about 575 acres of land. A separate group based in Brudenell, the Great Wisdom Buddhist Institute nuns, owns 663 acres of land, a spokeswoman told Saltwire News on March 21. 

The GEBIS monks are completing construction on a large multi-purpose building in Heatherdale that will become the society's main campus in Kings County, including residential facilities.   

Venerable Dan says the monks employ organic agricultural methods on their cropland, and are unaware of any of their acreage that has been left fallow. Some of their land is loaned out "for free" to other organic farmers in Kings County, he said.

The monks say "Bliss and Wisdom" is a name used by several non-profit organizations, but there is no formal connection among them. They compare the use of the phrase "Bliss and Wisdom" to the common use of the word "Island" in the names of various independent businesses on P.E.I.

(Brian Higgins/CBC)

Social media posts about the issue contain misinformation, Venerable Dan said. 

"The past two or three months, it seems there more people drawn into it. You keep posting stuff and people believe it."

Venerable Dan says the monks were aware of Saturday's meeting in Montague and chose not to attend.

Lands Act needs 'constant revision': federation

The P.E.I. Federation of Agriculture says Saturday's meeting reflects long-standing concerns over land ownership on the Island, as well as questions over the effectiveness of the Lands Protection Act when it comes to corporate aggregation.

'We see issues with land ownership [in Kings County]. We see some confusion," said Donald Killorn, executive director of the federation. "We saw un update on the Lands Protection Act recently that we hope did close some of the more prominent loopholes."

Killorn points out that he knows of "Island-born" farmers who have exceeded land ownership limits, by listing their spouses as owners of tracts of crop land.

"The act does require constant revision as people work to try and circumnavigate the law," said Killorn.

This is not about race. It's always been about the land.
— Douglas Campbell

The coalition says ethnicity is irrelevant, and in the past, accusations that questions about the monks are motivated by racism or xenophobia have diverted attention from legitimate concerns.

"This is not about race," said Campbell. "It's always been about the land."

CBC News reached out to the Island Regulatory and Appeals Commission for comment on the coalition's concerns. It replied with an email saying it was aware of Saturday's meeting but nobody from the coalition had been in direct contact with the commission.

The email added that IRAC "will continue to serve its role in administering the Lands Protection Act."

 
 
 

Meet the party leaders running in P.E.I.'s provincial election

Read, watch or listen — CBC's profiles of the leaders of P.E.I.'s parties

Here is what they had to say.

Progressive Conservatives

PC Leader Dennis King says he takes nothing for granted

Duration 5:49
CBC P.E.I. is on the campaign trail with PC Leader Dennis King. In seeing re-election, King says he knows Islanders expect progress, not miracles.

The Progressive Conservatives went into this election with 15 seats in the legislative assembly, hungry to maintain their majority government status and grow their caucus.

Leader Dennis King was a first-time politician in the 2019 campaign and is now seeking his second term in the premier's chair.

King leads a full slate of 27 candidates and his party heads into election day on April 3 in a strong polling position, according to data from the latest Narrative Research poll.

Continuing with our leaders one-on-one with PC Leader Dennis King in his home district of Brackley-Hunter River.

New Democratic Party

NDP Leader Michelle Neill wants to make a splash in this election

Duration 5:06
CBC P.E.I. is on the campaign trail with NDP Leader Michelle Neill. She says party support is on the rise, and they're looking to win a seat in the legislature for the first time since 1996.

The New Democratic Party was the underdog among the four main parties heading into the campaign. They haven't had a candidate elected to the legislature since 1996. 

Leader Michelle Neill took the reins of the party just a year ago and is looking to be elected for the first time in any level of politics.

Alongside her are a full slate of 26 other candidates from across the Island, including, in West Prince, the first and only NDP politician ever elected to the P.E.I. legislature, Herb Dickieson.

Continuing our leaders one-on-one feature with NDP Leader Michelle Neill at party headquarters in Charlottetown.

Liberal Party

Liberal Leader Sharon Cameron sets sights on winning seat

Duration 5:50
CBC P.E.I. is on the campaign trail with Liberal Leader Sharon Cameron. Cameron took leadership of the party just four months ago, and she's laser focused on winning her own seat.

The Liberal Party is hitting for the fences in this election after dropping to third-party status and dwindling from 16 seats to six in the 2019 election. The party entered the 2023 race with just three incumbents re-offering.

Leader Sharon Cameron may be running for political office for the first time, but she has more than a decade of experience as a deputy minister. She's taking on Green Leader Peter Bevan-Baker in District 17: New Haven-Rocky Point.

Cameron and 24 other Liberal candidates are running in this election, including an incumbent in Charlottetown and two in West Prince.

We are sitting down with each of the major party leaders to learn who they are, what is important to them and why they are right to be the next Premier of P.E.I. This morning we're starting with Liberal leader Sharon Cameron.

Green Party

Green Party Leader Peter Bevan-Baker on what's next

Duration 5:55
CBC P.E.I. is on the campaign trail with Green Party Leader Peter Bevan-Baker. The party made history by becoming the first Green Party in North America to form the Official Opposition. So where does the party go from here?

The Green Party is looking to follow up on its historic success in the 2019 election — which saw eight candidates elected and the party forming the Official Opposition.

That was a feat for the Greens that had never happened before in the history of Canadian politics. 

Leader Peter Bevan-Baker has twice won his district convincingly. This time he's facing Liberal Leader Sharon Cameron in his own district — a political move by Cameron that shocked Islanders, as leaders typically don't run against each other.

The Greens are fielding a slate of 25 candidates, with all incumbents re-offering except District 11's Hannah Bell.

Continuing our coversations with major party leaders. Mitch sat down with Green Party Leader Peter Bevan-Baker at the Blue Goose restaurant in his home district #17.

Island Party

Island Party runs 11 candidates

Duration 2:25
The Island Party has been around since 2011, but it's had a recent resurgence. CBC's Wayne Thibodeau caught up with a few candidates and the party's new leader, Ahava Kálnássy de Kálnás.

After a 12-year hiatus, the Island Party has returned to run in the 2023 P.E.I. election.

Ahava Kálnássy de Kálnás has been at the head of the party for about a month and is looking to be elected for the first time.

Kálnássy de Kálnás leads a slate of 11 candidates who say they want to introduce recall legislation, and focus on town halls and referendums on major issues — which the party says puts the power back in the hands of the people.

Continuing our leaders one-on-one feature with the Island Party leader Ahava Kálnássy de Kálnás in King's County.
