Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Community Call-in, Apr 16th
Q: Does PEI have a way of being selective in immigration to bring in higher-skilled workers without harming overall productivity?
Immigration is federal in origin, but provinces can influence it through the Provincial Nominee Program to target skilled labor in areas of need; however, overall volumes have recently tightened, and there are caps on foreign labor and wage requirements that constrain recruitment, making selective immigration possible only within those federal-provincial frameworks.
Community Call-in with John Jeffery, June 25th
Q: Should the government own senior facilities or should the private sector handle them, and what about public-private partnerships?
John explains that this is a complex debate with arguments on efficiency and accountability on both sides, noting that transparency and long-term funding models would be key factors in any decision.
Community Call-in with John Jeffery, June 25th
Q: What are you seeing today in PEI politics, especially in District 16?
John highlights that District 16 is a microcosm of larger provincial dynamics, with leadership questions and strategic considerations around a by-election, while also noting potential shifts if the Greens gain ground.
Community Call-in with Allan Dale, June 15th
Q: Tell me what you've been up to. What's happening in PEI that we should know about?
Allan Dale explains PEI's ongoing focus on defense and economic opportunities, including how local companies, academia, and institutions can position themselves to benefit from government obligations and national defense initiatives.
Community Call-in with Robert Mitchell, June 16th
Q: What are you hearing as the main issues Islanders face today?
The guest emphasizes affordability and health care as the top issues, with specific concerns about groceries, energy costs, and wages not keeping up with inflation, along with the ongoing need to strengthen health and education services.
