real estate: P.E.I. out to restore the reputation of the maligned Malpeque oyster - 12/09/08 06:26 AM
The provincial government has set December as "Celebration of the Oyster" month, in the wake of media reports calling into question the quality of Malpeque oysters, once considered among the world's best.
Last week, the province called together local media to showcase Malpeque oysters - complete with photo ops of Premier Robert Ghiz slurping them off the half shell.
While the Malpeque name still carries weight, the oyster's reputation took a hit recently when some prominent names in the oyster industry singled them out for criticism. Seventy per cent of the Malpeque oyster fishery is wild, and that causes some problems … (1 comments)

real estate: Housing starts fall 21% as condo construction slows: CMHC - 12/09/08 06:23 AM
November housing starts fell to 172,000 units, representing a 21.6 per cent decline in year-over-year comparisons, the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation said Monday.
The federal agency attributed the decline in part to slumping demand in the condo market.
"Note that at the beginning of the new millennium, Canada posted strong housing start levels given a pent-up demand that existed then," said Bob Dugan.
"Over the last few years, this excess demand gradually decreased and our forecast for 2008 and 2009 reflects this new reality with housing starts, more aligned with long run demographic demand."
Seasonally adjusted urban multiple starts fell … (1 comments)

real estate: Atlantic premiers urge federal government to stimulate economy now!!! - 12/09/08 06:19 AM
SUMMERSIDE, P.E.I. - Efforts by the federal government to stimulate the country's slumping economy must accelerate programs already announced and invest in projects being started by the provinces, the Atlantic premiers said Monday.
"Rather than creating some new national program that may take a year for the dollars to start flowing, there's an opportunity now to be flexible and to dovetail into our existing programs and allow that accelerated investment immediately," said New Brunswick Premier Shawn Graham.
Prince Edward Island Premier Robert Ghiz, New Brunswick Premier Shawn Graham, left, and Nova Scotia Premier Rodney MacDonald, right, share a laugh at the … (1 comments)

real estate: Ignatieff poised to replace Dion with support of Liberal caucus vote. Don't let this happen!!! - 12/08/08 06:44 AM
Michael Ignatieff, who enjoys the support of a majority of Grit MPs and senators, appears poised to become federal Liberal leader at a caucus meeting Wednesday when Stéphane Dion is expected to step down.
The prospect of a caucus vote installing Ontario MP Ignatieff in the top Liberal job emerged late Sunday after the party's national executive gave a rough reception to a last-minute proposal to give all party members a vote by a combination of phone and online ballots early next month.
No final decision was made but insiders said it appeared the proposal, supported by rival Bob Rae, will … (0 comments)

real estate: Coalition government??? What do we do??? - 12/08/08 06:40 AM
More than 100 Conservative supporters gathered in Charlottetown Saturday to voice their approval of the government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper and to denounce efforts to defeat it in Parliament.
The Liberals and the NDP delivered a letter to Gov. Gen. Michaëlle Jean last week saying Harper had lost the confidence of the House of Commons and they were ready to form a coalition government to replace him. However, Harper succeeded in getting Jean to prorogue Parliament before a vote of no confidence could take place.
Malpeque MP and Fisheries and Oceans Minister Gail Shea spoke at the rally in front … (0 comments)

The trees were thick with ice, electric poles were down across the province and hundreds of Islanders were left in the dark and cold, but Barb Mullally didn't blink an eye when she got the call for aid. As a disaster management trainer and co-ordinator, last winter's ice storm was just the kind of emergency event Mullally has been trained to help handle. She put in 14-hour days helping stranded Islanders as Maritime Electric crews worked to restore downed power lines. And with more than 300 damaged utility poles throughout central and western Prince Edward Island, it took the utility seven … (0 comments)
