Hi. I recently moved back. Before I moved for a year and when I came back it appears they’re still chipping away at it. I walk by it every day but never see anything getting done to it, just people standing around or pretending. Does anyone know if they’re refurbishing it or they just found something they’re trying to get rid of?

My father back in 2017 worked for the construction company ‘reworking’ it and he said they had found tunnels underneath with some history in them, books and such, but they were the kind of company that moves around once they’re finished so he didn’t go with them after they were done with the province house.

Sorry if this seems like a schizophrenic ramble, I’ve just been getting older and getting more upset/curious about the fact there is zero information public about anything, which is a given because I doubt any place would flaunt their dark history.

They are wasting so much money on this worthless building. I think the Charlottetown governments hold on heritage needs to be let go and focused on the people who have lived here their entire lives rather than on the tourists alone.

I am feeling bombarded by Atlantic lotteries' new ad campaign. Seen the mocking seagulls 10+ times on YouTube, and targeted through Google ad space daily/weekly.

I don't gamble! Wth. I did a phone survey a few years ago for them and they consistently asked how much I care about a portion of their profits going to local charity. So that's the ad campaign now.

What percent of their profits go to charity? What is the charity?

A Google search says the Maritime company had 447mil net profit last year donated 22 mil to PEI.

EDIT: are their charitable donations going towards the gambling counseling programs? Is that it?

My wife was wondering if anyone knows of any local businesses on PEI that create/do permanent jewelry. Thanks in Advance

With recent posts of someone going full Chicken Little over Jupiter and Venus showing up as blurry dot in their phone camera (while holding it in an unsteady hand), I wanted to remind everyone that both the UPEI Library and the Charlottetown Library both let Islanders borrow telescopes to explore the night sky.

UPEI: https://projects.upei.ca/astronomy/library-telescopes/

PEI Library: https://pei.ent.sirsidynix.net/client/en_GB/default/search/results?qu=Telescopes&qf=LOCATION%09Collection%091%3ATHINGS%09Library+of+Things&rt=false%7C%7C%7CTITLE%7C%7C%7CTitle

Both are offered with some star guides that help you take a tour of the night sky, and learn the world around you, especially if you never had an opportunity to learn the basics of astronomy when you were younger.

Hell, you can do it with a pair of 10 x 50 binoculars from Canadian Tire.

Even with recent exponential growth, PEI is still very lucky to have a few dark sites left. I've had a few nights of viewing over the summer in the east end of the Island that were just spectacular. Some old rich dude even built himself an observatory outside of town. This is definitely a sick life goal.

It is a crappy time to start with chilly evenings and nights, but you can do it with some dedication.

Pointing a telescope at a patch of the sky you think is black, only to see hundreds of stars is a humbling experience.

Hey, I am 18 years old and tried to look up how to go about getting my class three license but I couldn’t find anything. Is there somewhere I can go to like a school to learn how to drive them?

As title states, for the 4 years we've been able to get through winter, but this year things are dead, I think our phone has run three times since the end of October. Is anyone else going through this? We have a good rep always on most social media platforms. Kind of worried for January to be honest. I'm just looking for answers if other small companies are going through the same as us. Thank you.

Please react if this reaches at someone driving for uber eats or skipp the dishes. I am struggling with bills and planning about starting this on my own time and nights. Is it possible to make any amount that can partially help pay some bills after gas??

Looking for anyone who has had experience with Ken Pierce, a psychologist in Prince Edward Island.

Hi there: we are thinking of moving to Panmure island. What's the cell service like and who do you use.

Should google pull this considering the woman passed away?

Why are there people screaming through a megaphone that Indigo is killing children right now?

Bulk barn used to carry a certain kind of chocolate with sea salt in them. They're squares, no bigger than a loonie, flat on the bottom and somewhat round on top. There's no stuffing, just bits of salt mixed in.

A jar of these would make the perfect Christmas gift, I've search far and wide for them and I can't even find a picture for what I'm talking about. Last I had them from BB was about 2 years ago. Can anyone point me in any direction to find them?

The federal government is putting $7.1 million over 3 years to add to the PEI school lunch program. Despite the extra money Denny says the provincial government has no intention of decreasing fees. So, where is the extra money going?

What have your experiences been using the online Maple medical help system?

Myself, I only need to have a prescription renewed. There's no clinic in Summerside and I don't have a doctor (still). So, Maple is the only way I have to renew a simple prescription. I only need to renew this every three months. I did so this morning, for the second time.

Thing is, for the second time I have had to pay in order to get this service, the site doesn't give you any choice. The first time, before taxes and some three months ago, I paid $60 before tax. This time, it was $80. And it's a monthly subscription fee! Lucky I saw that and cancelled that part. It's not highlighted or anything.

What do I pay these high taxes for? Oh yea, health care.

I'm also very unimpressed with how the site works technically. I could go on.

So folks, what have your experiences been?

Noticed a lot of unmarked vehicles and some snipers downtown today. Assuming Trudeau is here. Anyone heard anything about this?

Edit:

Just found out he is here to make an announcement on the National School Food Program.
