"Olive"... and her band of "Merry Men"...

Update...Gee...I got a pile of calls on the following post... some "silly" liberals thinking (or hoping) I'm switching over... some Tories saying I'd be welcome (but most not welcome)... some media calling wondering what I'm up too... good news is I now know when and where the meetings are and I also got a call from the Opposition office inviting me to meet with them privately which is very polite... but as a committed liberal I'm not going to get caught at that... but I'm probably going to show up at one of the public meetings and then we'll all know...
"Olive"... where are you... I sort of caught a glimpse of a radio report that Olive and her cast of Merry Men were heading across the Island looking for thoughts and opinions from Islanders and I was considering showing up with a few ideas and questions of my own.... trouble is I didn't catch the when and where's... so I thought I would go to the first line of information the world wide web and the PEI Tory site to find this information... "absolutely nothing"... no mention of the meetings... no press releases... but more startling no policy... in fact the site was pretty "pathetic" for an organization who is trying to "tout" themselves as someone Islanders should consider electing... well I thought maybe they didn't have any volunteers or money to keep it up so I went to the web under PEI's Opposition office thinking I might find some "news" there but nothing again... surely Olive should be able to organize her staff or volunteers to get the message out when and where these meetings are if they ever expect to hear from Islanders... now I'm sure there was an advertisement in the papers (which cost money) and news reports but I didn't really didn't catch them so why not get them posted (free) on the web...
