Dear Lord, @PEIFerries. Get your act together. Cancelled crossings because of Confederation mechanic issues and new ferry docked in Pictou. One ferry is not a trustworthy service. #pei #HereWeGoAgain

And it is a race to be the next leader of PC Party of PEI and Island Premier. Mark Ledwell joins Cory Deagle in the race to replace Dennis King, creating a fascinating contrast for party voters. #peipoli

Zero data to support the deal. Occupancy down 3 per cent last year. Secrecy on who got free tickets. #Boondoggle

The NHL deal has cost taxpayers $9 million. Govt responds to criticism with spin & secrecy. Harvey Sawler has spent decades in tourism marketing at the highest levels. He doesn't mix words. The deal is disastrous. #peipoli #nhl

There are four main problems with the disastrous Tourism PEI-National Hockey League partnership deal.

Mark Carney's first act as PM is to snub PEI, and our traditional seat in cabinet. #peipoli

It only took hours for PEI Finance Minister to cave to public pressure on elimination of liquor trade barriers. #peipoli #patronage #silos #TeamCanada

A lot of PEI Conservatives are not happy that former Premier Dennis King jumped ship for a plum patronage post. #PoliticsOldSchool #peipoli

Will the Liberal prime minister appoint former PEI PC Premier Dennis King Irish ambassador tomorrow, just weeks before a fed election that could elect a Conservative Party King went out of his way to distance himself from? Bet King will vote Liberal. #peipoli

He was never supposed to win. But he did – again, and again, and again.

Cory Deagle is quitting cabinet to run for leadership of the PC Party and be PEI’s next premier. The Montague-Kilmuir MLA is the first candidate to come forward since Dennis King quit Feb 20. #peipoli #TheRaceIsOn

In the dying days of Premier King's tenure, Pam Williams, his former Chief of Staff, was handed a 10 year appointment as CEO of IRAC. Next to CEO of the PEI Liquor Commission, there is no cushier patronage plum. Watch for notice in next update of Orders in Council #peipoli

Last year 96 cruise ships visited Charlottetown. The year before 87. This year 80. That’s a 17 per cent decrease. How’s that for an NHL bounce. Do what’s right. Promote our tourism industry, but stop wasting millions on free tickets for politicians and bureaucrats.

This is the bums in the seat test. #FailureIf there was a shining light in tourism, it was a record cruise ship year, which has nothing - as in not one passenger - to do with the NHL.

The US has essentially targeted Canada as a fiscal enemy. The Premier’s predecessor promised to cancel the deal if the tariff fiasco continued. We know Trump’s threats are not going away.

If new Premier Rob Lantz wants to support Island taxpayers and the tourism industry, cancel the $8 million vanity NHL marketing debacle immediately. There is no data to support its effectiveness. It was concocted in secret without input from the tourism industry. #pei #NHL #Fail

This is the best summary of the current geopolitical situation I have seen. Sir Alex Younger was head of MI6 between 2014 and 2020. Really worth watching.

He is working harder to unify professional golf than hold war criminal Putin accountable. The President is a lapdog for Putin and @elonmusk Leadership it is not. Cowardice perhaps.
