The Coalition for the Protection of PEI Lands

COMMENTARY: P.E.I. is growing rapidly, but at what cost?

Kirsten Connor shines a light on the reality of our “propoganda ” of population growth on PEI.

“Our farmland is giving way to housing speculators and urban sprawl. Given that we are inundated with people, who our community at this time cannot accommodate, is it not the height of folly to have government entice more people to come here, and then, once here, bussing them around to ‘find opportunities’?”

Thanks to Chris Ortenburger for sharing this article in her Citizens’ Alliance newsletter this morning, along with these comments: “There is so much in that interview that brings up more questions for the Minister and Premier: must all land be in “production”? where is good Land Use Planning? (notice that may not be the same as Where is the Land Use Plan? ;-) where is the IRAC report on the Kings County land holdings that former Environment and former Lands and Community minister Stephen Myers set in motion? Why can’t the Land Department keep track of land? Why have IRAC in charge of this when her government has announced it is set to break up IRAC and there will certainly be a lot of transition? And things not addressed here: What about non-profit land protection organizations like Island Nature Trust? (this has been addressed elsewhere with a wave of the hand, but it would be good if the minister recognised this clearly) Why are agriculture giants not addressed, but non-profits? How easy will it be to work around this law? Have they thought that far in the future? This also feels like a use of a lot of government legislative writing time that could be spent on other promised legislation
