In PEI, the right to choose: No longer 'the shame of being shipped off the island'

So Justin Trudeau threatened threatened PEI's healthcare transfer payments if they didn't start providing abortionists in the neighbourhood. Another of our new Prime Minister's great moves. Let's see how many Liberal members of parliament get reelected from PEI next time around.

Probably all of them, they all won pretty handily with more than a majority of votes in all four ridings. The Maritimes are not going to suddenly start voting Conservative over it.

You could be right - ridding the Maritimes of their sense of dependency won't be easy.

Good luck with that, the Maritimes will always be dependent on transfer payments unless the price of oil increases dramatically and all of the provinces find some. Even then they have no reason to support the Conservatives, they might have supported the Progressive Conservatives but they will never support the Conservatives.

That's a shame - seems the Conservatives were the only party actively pursuing moving western Canadian oil to refineries in the Maritimes, potentially greatly expanding the economy and standard of living in the region - but that's for another time and thread, not this one.
