In the dying days of the spring session, the opposition grilled government to release employment contracts for temporary senior management hired by Health PEI via private agencies.

Using those boats means no docks will be needed, unlike an Aspin and Kemp proposal made two years ago that would have used a hydrogen-powered ferry.

The University of Prince Edward Island is ruffling the feathers of students once again, just two years after professors at the school went on strike. UPEI is increasing its tuition fees for domestic students by 6.5 per cent and international students 7.5 per cent. kAm~?6 @7 E96 C62D@?D 7@C E96 :?4C62D6 :? EF:E:@?

The horror stories are circulating from around the world and across Canada. Innocent people with perfectly good reasons to cross the border, being wrongfully detained without cause for weeks, banned from the country and a litany of other rights violated by US border agents who think they can do whatever the hell they want. kAmp?JE9:?8 D9@CE @7 7F==\E9C@2E65 DFAA@CE 7@C s@?2=5 %CF>A[ H96E96C 6IAC6DD65 2E E96 3@C56C @C :?

This reporter was recently out looking for sea glass on the beach in Tignish Shore. I did find sea glass, but I also came across an object stuck in the mud near the shore. It was heavy and looked old. I thought about all the news items I had seen about other Islanders coming across interesting finds on beaches. There was a woman who found a walrus skull thousands of years old on a beach in Tignish. The discovery was made following post-topical storm Fiona in 2022.
