People in rural PEI are being ripped off with Rural Development funds going to pay for Charlottetown’s concert site. West Prince County needs development and Kings County has seen fish plant closures and this is where development money should be spent not in Summerside or Charlottetown.
I opposed the Conservatives redrawing the election boundaries combining rural ridings with municipal ridings in Summerside and Charlottetown. People are now seeing Summerside and Charlottetown will bully their way into taking resources from rural PEI for their cities’ own gain.
What I find equally ludicrous is the federal Department of Environment charging Charlottetown with overflows into the Hillsborough River and then allowing ACOA to give federal money for a concert site without having Charlottetown Regional Development Corporation remove contaminants from the site. Charlottetown is a dirty city. The Ghiz government has to explain how they can rip off rural PEI and give money for a concert site without removing the contaminants. The election boundaries have to be redrawn separating rural and municipal ridings.
