Only on PEI you say....

It certainly is a wonderful place we live in; a tractor trailer drives through our economy today smashing our world financial markets which will eventually impact all of us. So I get home tonight and I scan through our local CBC, Guardian and Journal websites to get some sense of just how bad it was and the biggest news from our Island media was some woman smashing into the courthouse. Nothing on the economy, WHY WORRY ABOUT THE ECONOMY.... In the old days we Islanders may have been somewhat insulated from what was happening in the rest of the world but I've got a sneaking suspicion that this is not the case now. Pretty soon we're going to get a lot of those people who moved out West coming back looking for jobs as the money out there is going to dry up...if we think our tourism has been down the last few years, think again as the rest of North America will not have the disposable income to travel... our farmers, fishers and manufacturers are like the rest of the Country with 75% of our exports to the US and they don't have any money... Maybe some stories on how we can work together to manage our way through this mess would be refreshing...
