Headlines: McKinley Minister of Transportation represents the Dept by leaning on a shovel. Will it always be thus?

My oh my. Where to start.... A huge pile of cheeze doesn't even begin to describe it.

PEI politicians haven't changed one bit. Have these two ever thought about not spending a cent and paying down debt? Guess not.... Iagine, spending taxpayers money on asphalt projects like drunken thieves. They'll have potholes in that road inside of 10 years. Meanwhile our healthcare system is in serious decline and young people are shunning this province.

But what a photo that pair makes!

After the expansions open up, we will be left with a legacy of the Liberals, going in circles chasing one's tail , I don't know why overpasses couldn't have been thought of instead of these stupid round-abouts, I epect there will be many accidents and the circles will be too small for tractor trailers, again!
