The PEI Conservatives claim they have a mandate from Denny King’s 2023 election win and are incensed and insulted that the Green Party has put forth a motion of non-confidence in the govt now led by a new leader, Lantz. (1) @PEIgreens

Quick search reveals a couple of CBC articles from Mar/23 on King’s election promises on the health care file 2 have everyone off the patient registry within 24 mos (i.e. by Mar/25). Why is there >30k on the list now? Valid reason for a non-confid motion,imo (2) @PEIgreens

If the PEI Conservatives claim they have a genuine mandate 2 govern following a change in leadership,they then have to stand up and take responsibility and accountability for failing Islanders on the 2023 election mandate promises on health care. (3)

Anyone listening to the CBC interview with Health PEI’s newest CEO this am? Just spit out my coffee when she started lauding the praise 2 the Patient Relations and Recruitment Teams. Good grief! Jeepers! Have dealt with Patient Relations. Comprehension not their biggest strength.

Too bad the CBC interviewer didn’t ask the new HPEI CEO if there really is a PEI Patient Registry Wait List and to prove it exists. I don’t personally believe there is unless someone will be transparent and tell me what number I am on the list any time I inquire.

When asked by an Opposition MLA,how many family physicians PEI has hired so far this year,the Minister of Health didn’t know! Why would he go into the Leg Assembly on any given day without this basic info? The Opposition MLA says it’s only 5 and he provided numbers 4 other provs

SUMMERSIDE POLICE INVESTIGATING SUSPECTED IMPAIRED DRIVING COLLISION 📂 2026-1623834 On Tuesday, November 3 at approximately 7:35 PM, Summerside Police Services received multiple calls reporting a two-vehicle collision on Cairns Boulevard.

The driver of the Civic was treated at the scene by EMS paramedics while the driver of the Corolla, a 27-year-old Prince County man, was transported to hospital, where he was arrested for impaired driving causing bodily harm. Blood samples were obtained from the driver of the Corolla and will be sent for analysis. In addition to the potential impaired driving-related charges, the driver of the Corolla will also face a charge of driving with a suspended license.

This is what our #PEI govt wastes time on. There are much bigger priorities they should focus their attn on. Perhaps they could survey Islanders for their opinions on the health care model they are imposing (medical home affiliation instead of primary care provider assignment)

…meanwhile, back at the ranch, apparently some 120 or so members of his Party have signed and submitted a petition to the Party Executive asking for a leadership review of the Premier. Nope, simply can’t make this stuff up. (sigh) and it’s only Tuesday (sigh)…

It’s Municipal Election Day #pei. If U r an eligible voter,b sure 2 exercise ur democratic right 2 choose ur municipal leaders. The more people who #vote,the more reflective the final results r of what kind of leadership the community wants 2 have oversee municipal affairs.

Don’t let just a small number of voters choose your municipal leadership. If you are an eligible voter, get out today and cast your #vote. Every vote counts. As little as one vote can make the difference. #exerciseyourdemocraticrighttovote #peimunicipalelections2026

Is there any faint hope we might have a gen election in #pei this fall or is that off the table? I will consider (some exceptions may apply) casting my vote 4 a party whose leader promises a reasonable concrete plan to replace Health PEI with a better health care delivery system.
