Confusion and surprise all around View comments2 

The provincial government needs to look into the confusion over an electricity pricing order that apparently was handed down two years ago with little notice. Islanders, particularly those directly affected by it, including farmers, deserve to know how this happened.

Maritime Electric announced recently that it planned to enforce on April 1 a standing order given two years ago by the Island Regulatory and Appeals Commission on block pricing for high-use residential customers. The order gives Maritime Electric approval to eliminate the second lower-rate charge in the current two-tiered system. This lower rate package kicks in for rural users who require more than 2,000 kwh per month and it assists farmers who require more electricity, at a cheaper price, for their operations.

I'll avoid Riverside Drive
Editor:

Never mind sidewalks and bicycle lanes along Riverside Drive, how about eliminating these roundabouts altogether?

Personally, I sure wouldn't want to be in an ambulance as it negotiates two roundabouts on its way from the Hillsborough Bridge to the ER. Nor would I want to be waiting for any other emergency response vehicle to arrive since a median along the road is to be built, which means police, fire and ambulance vehicles cannot use the opposing lane to get around traffic.  (more)  9:17 AM

READER FEEDBACK
  The Gold Cup Parade has been part of Prince Edward Island's summers since 1962. The committee which oversees the parade says it will retire following the 50th annivesary in 2011. What should happen to the August event?
 
The Gold Cup Parade has run its course. It's time to call it quits.
The parade needs new people, new ideas, and a different focus.
Leave it alone. The Gold Cup Parade is a great event and shouldn't change.
