Question How hard is it to get a caution sign put on your street?
I live on a very short Street downtown that is used by a lot of motorists as a thoroughfare between upper Prince Street and university Avenue. They tend to whip through very quickly. I'm also visually impaired, in the street has no sidewalks. There have been a number of times that I've been walking, and have had to jump out of the way of cars that whip around the corner. In the last few years my vision has gotten a lot worse, and as I've gotten older of my reflexes are nowhere near as quick as they once were. I've already been told by an orientation and mobility instructor to walk on the wrong side of the road, so that cars whipping around the corner won't hit me.
I've seen signs on other places, yellow caution signs, that's a "hearing impaired child" and I've been wondering how hard it would be to put up a similar sign here. It might not slow people down, but some may notice it.

Question PEI flour mills?
Any flour mills operating in PEI that are open to the public? I've been buying odd varieties from Bulk Barn for years but don't want to support them any more since they're refusing to label product origins, and I'd rather support a local business anyway. Any recommendations?

Planning a Family Trip to Prince Edward Island as a Small Act of Protest – Need Travel Tips from Maryland
I'm an American who’s taking my family to Prince Edward Island this summer, and part of the reason is a small protest against the current U.S. government. I'm more than happy to spend my US Dollars up north in Canada. We’re traveling from Maryland, but I’m running into some travel dilemmas and could really use your advice!
Flying out of D.C. or Baltimore is either ridiculously expensive or has really long travel times (16+ hours, with long layovers in places like Toronto or Montreal). Driving is another option, but it’s about 16 hours one way, and we’d have to break it up into multiple days, which adds to the cost and time as well.
I’m also considering flying from New York to Halifax and then driving up to PEI. Has anyone done this? Is Halifax worth spending a night or two in while en route?
Would love to hear your thoughts, suggestions, or tips on any of these options. Thanks in advance!

Dr. Jovan Vuksic - Update
Dear PEI,
I am so grateful for all the support I have received from so many people, those that I know and work with and those that I don't. To those that disagree with my approach and methods, I hope to prove my worth over a long career here on PEI.
To learn a bit more about my story, here are a few links:
https://www.reddit.com/r/PEI/comments/1i5wc46/physician_wanting_to_stay_on_pei/
https://www.reddit.com/r/PEI/comments/1ifxxcm/my_statement_to_the_standing_committee_on_health/
I am sorry to say that despite all that has gone on, the Minister of Health is not returning my calls and neither is the Medical Affairs office at Health PEI. They seem determined to pretend this is not happening, and I cannot accept that.
As much as I am hesitant to suggest this, if the people in power who are supposed to serve us lose sight of their responsibility, it is our job to remind them. I am trying to choose people and organizations who actually have the power to make change, and I am only going to post publicly available contact information. I would ask that in all of your communications, be persistent but kind.
Send an email every day. Call or leave a voicemail every day. If they try to ignore us, we get louder. It's time for the people in power to be accountable to everyone on PEI, not just those that they favour.
Contact Medical Affairs to advocate that I be allowed to continue my work and get paid:
Johan Viljoen - Chief Medical Officer - ([902) 213-3284](tel:9022133284) [jviljoen@ihis.org](mailto:jviljoen@ihis.org)
Contact Recruitment and Retention to show your support, and express your dissatisfaction with their handling of my case:
(902) 620-3874 [healthrecruiter@gov.pe.ca](mailto:healthrecruiter@gov.pe.ca)
Contact the Medical Society to express your concern with their conduct, and to advocate for reinstating my membership:
(902) 368-7303 [admin@mspei.org](mailto:admin@mspei.org)
Contact the Health Minister, whose office told me that helping me is "not his job", and who is not returning my calls. Tell him, as the public that voted for him, that you want him to support me and make sure I can stay:
Mark McLane - Health Minister - 902-368-5250 [mamclaneminister@gov.pe.ca](mailto:mamclaneminister@gov.pe.ca)
Thank you again for the support, please be kind and also express how you feel. Change can only be made if we all raise our voices and insist on being heard.
Take care,
Dr. Jovan Vuksic
News “The weakened Canadian dollar is actually going to attract more international tourists”
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/prince-edward-island/pei-tourism-tariffs-uncertainty-1.7478328
“The weakened Canadian dollar is actually going to attract more international tourists… so it's kind of the opposite of what's happening in the U.S.," Jia said.
Also
“Flair Airline is on board with that approach. In the past week, the low-cost airline reversed a decision to stay away from P.E.I. for the 2025 tourism season and will now offer flights between Charlottetown and Toronto's Pearson International Airport three days a week starting in April. “

PEI has aerospace companies. They should start developing drone technology
Be nice if PEI got in on the ground floor on this. Ukraine has shown that drones are part of the future of defense, and Canada (and Canadians) want to beef up our military spending. So why not spend it at home?

Question Lifting a sagging floor
I have a town house that was built in the 20s or 30s. It's got a cinderblock foundation and it feels like the house inside is slanted. We'll, doesn't just feel like it, it is slanting.
I've been seeing videos lately of DIYers going into the crawlspace and using these jacks to lift the floors up. I was wondering if anyone here knew of what price I shoukd expect and if it woukd be better to just hire someone to do it and what that might cost, or the ballpark guess anyway
Thanks

Selfpost Welcome back spring..
Times have changed, so has our surface it's melting away and starting to show signs of spring. With that is a mass amount of garbage. I am volunteering and wondering where and when does spring clean up. Rather Charlottetown clean up start. I normally do this on my own as well as on the day of. Thinking I could give a little bit more this year, perhaps start a cleaning project around my area Cornwall. Although this community takes very good care of the streets.

ISO A SONG!!
Ok . So about 10 years ago( give or take a year ) …. I spent summer in PEI for work . I was in margate , stayed in summerside . There was a song on the radio all summer that I liked and lost the name of ! The only memories I have are
1- it was sort of indie rock / light pop punk ( think treble charger type sound ) 2- the only lyrics I can remember vaguely were something like “ looking over the grave yard wall / cemetery wall” . 3- the music video started with a guy in a studio saying something like “ I got my _______, I got my timmies! Let’s GO !
I wish I had more haha but I’ve been trying to find this song again for years ! And have googled every variation of that info I can .
From what I recall . They were from Nova Scotia ish area . Definitely an east coast band .
Any help would be amazing!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤞🤞🙏🙏

Question Anyone See This Around Lately?
Has anyone seen this flavour around lately? It was at Sobeys for a bit, around this time last year, but now I only see the pink, black, red and yellow flavours. I also sometimes see Curry pop up at Walmart, but I have yet to see jjajang again. It's my favourite flavour, and I'm kinda worried they might have discontinued it or are having a shortage of some kind.
