They said that a week ago.

Well maybe PEI should vote conservatives so it scares the liberals into caring again about the east coast. The liberals don’t care about guaranteed votes. Ontario and Quebec both would have everything fixed in days. Because liberals have to work for those votes

How? The incompetency is ridiculous. I can’t imagine being that slow.

I guess they could just turn it all back on and wait to see where there are still damaged wires by who dies from a live wire still down for fire calls. It would save a lot of time instead of testing the lines before they put them back in use.

If you are thinking of moving to Atlantic Canada, please read this article and know that this happens every few years and this the best they can do WITH federal government help. If you can’t handle it, don’t move here.

There’s a reason for that. Gatekeepers. All the work to rebuild a whole electrical grid is being squeezed through a tiny limited workforce.

JustinTrudeau there is no reason for Canada to allow PEI to have no power, please provide resources NOW

I love how you libs never bring up that Florida restored power for millions within days of a catastrophic category 4 hurricane, almost a category 5, but the maritimes are now approaching week 3, and the grand total of customers without power was like 500,000 originally.

meanwhile in Florida...

Trudeau already got his photo op and coverage from the MSM .

Crank up the windmills!

Maybe should appreciate what they have and thank god or someone they don't live in FL. Ya, you had a bad storm, anyone die? If FL many died. Yet I hear the whining. Hey, Hazel in 1957 killed more people in Toronto than inconvenienced people where you live. People died.
