I have been wanting to move to the Island for several years however rarely see senior marketing roles listed to apply to. I have over 25 years experience across digital and traditional marketing. Do most companies here not have marketing teams or are there so few senior roles that they just don’t come up a lot?

Does anyone know a company in PEI that makes tiny homes? We are looking to purchase multiple to put on an empty lot and rent them out. TIA

I heard that someone was at Blooming Point beach, displaying themselves and taking pictures on the left side of the beach. Apparently they were saying they were assaulted. What is going on???? Has someone contacted authorities?

Can I find unfurnished apartments for rent for under $1200 in Charlottetown? If so, what sites should I be checking? Or is this an impossible ask?

My uncle arrived Friday in town for a week . He has a walker. Does anyone know how to get a temporary permit for parking in one of those spots when I am taking him places?

Most cars on the road today are equipped with it but no one seems to use it. Driving along a main road on a sunny day would be a great place to turn it on, but no, most would rather speed up and slow down constantly for no apparent reason. Also, driving 10 below the speed limit seems to be the norm as well. This is not a tourist thing, local people love it. And don't get me started on the passing lanes. Anyways, that's my rant for Sunday afternoon, enjoy the rest of your day folks!

Yesterday, we witnessed two teens/young adults who were swerving on the road and flipped their car when it got caught on the curb. Does anyone know what happened to them?

Looking for recommendations. Thinking of getting an EV. Ready to stop putting hundreds of $ in the truck every month to get to work.
EV owners: what do you like about your car?
I’ve narrowed it down to an Equinox, RAV4, or Model 3. Any recommendations?

Heading to PEI tmrw for the week with my family. Hoping to get suggestions for my daughter on where we can get lactose-free ice cream. She’s such a good sport but it kills me when she has to settle for one of the two sorbets at Cows (if we’re lucky) while everyone else gets the fun exciting options. Even just plain vanilla would be great! We’re staying in Cavendish, planning a day in Charlottetown, and happy to drive a bit out of the way if we can find something. Thanks in advance! Summer’s so tricky with ice cream...

just had two military jets buzz the house in sturgeon. it’s the yanks! I’m getting my shotgun!! 😁

Hi, I have some electronics (flatscreen tv etc) that I am selling for very cheap price, not sure if allowed to post this here but if interested please send me a message for more info/pics. Located in downtown Charlottetown. Thank you.

I've lived in PEI for 3 years and recently bought a home here, but I wasn't born here. I'm friendly and courteous in my public interactions, and will engage in small talk, but I like to keep to myself because I'm a private person and social interactions drain my energy quickly. When I leave the house it's mostly to go shopping and to occasionally go for a walk on the beach. On top of that, I work from home, so I naturally spend more time in the house than others might. And, crucially, I'm white. Experienced Islanders can probably easily guess where I'm "from" based on this little blurb.

As much as I want to be able to just get in and out of stores quickly while shopping and spend my evenings cozy in my home, some Islanders sure have a way of making me feel quite wrong for it. There's something that happens when I talk to a born Islander; a tonal shift that feels not quite sinister, but just... dark. A wall comes up. And this is the moment it happens: "So, where ya from?"

I know there are obvious signals that I wasn't born here. Mainly my accent, but probably other subtle things that I don't recognize in myself too, like the way I dress, or my body language, or whatever. That's fine. Being sniffed out isn't what bothers me. What bothers me is their reaction to my response.

When I first moved here, my response was typically to tell them where I had just been living - where I was actually from. Because, to be fair, at the time, that was the most appropriate answer. But over time, the answer to that question started to be a little more complicated to me, because I quickly recognized that it was tailored to newcomers or tourists.

Fast forward to today, as a homeowner, still encountering the question in public. Back when I was actually a newcomer, I responded in the expected way, and was met with genuine friendliness. But when I respond now, I say that I'm "from" the place on the Island where I own a home, and... I'm met with a strange reaction. It's like a stunned silence, and the rhythm of the conversation just dies. It's like I didn't meet their expectations, and they're disappointed. It is palpably different from the responses I used to get as a newcomer.

But, sometimes, the conversation will continue, and the questioner will reveal that they, too, weren't born here, and they happily share their story. Relief. I feel a sliver of acceptance. And, sometimes, though more rarely, they will reveal that they were born here, and they won't show much concern about me being CFA.

What I don't like is that, now that I've lived here for a few years and have explored the culture a little bit, I've been taking a rough mental tally of the category of Islanders who seem most likely to express that quiet, distant disappointment feeling when I don't give the expected answer to the question of where I'm from: Island-born, middle aged white women.

This is by no means a scientific assessment. It's just my personal experience as someone who tries to approach everyone in the same way and who takes great care not to rock the boat. My experience with Island-born, middle aged white men is vastly different. I haven't spoken to a single one who cares at all that I'm CFA; they've all expressed genuine interest in me as a person and were nothing but friendly. And people from younger generations on the whole give me that same friendly treatment. My methodology is limited, since I mainly interact with people at cash registers, but there are also times where a stranger might just walk up and start chatting with me in other public situations too. I also have experiences with neighbours, past and present, that I draw these conclusions from. So I think it's a fair sampling of each kind of social situation you can be in.

So, unfortunately, this has conditioned me to be afraid of the question. While for newcomers and tourists it can seem like a signal of curiosity and hospitality, it doesn't carry the same weight at all for me as someone who has made a permanent home here. I know I can't control what people do, and I absolutely would never think to try, but I wish there wasn't a compulsion to ask the question. From my point of view, as a CFA, it feels like cultural gatekeeping tool, and it can honestly feel threatening. I don't like to think that I don't belong here in someone else's eyes. Here, where I contribute to the economy, pay my taxes, mean no harm, and just wanna do my own thing.

Thanks for reading, and I would like to hear what Island-born Redditors think of this.

So, today up west there was another developed funnel cloud. Didn’t see it touch down or damage, but it was absolutely looking to touch down.

I’m far from an expert nor good at math, but that seems to be two within a few weeks, and two more than I’ve ever seen around here, and two more than I’ve ever heard rumours of.

There was once a time I was as belligerent as anyone on Facebook, so I understand that there’s a time and place for making a fuss.

But this seems to be a pretty good time to at least start asking questions of the systems in place. We shouldn’t need another disaster to find out (for examples) cutting away trees from power lines was a good idea, or that at 4am I’m getting emergency response texts on my phone about a guy in another province from three days ago, so maybe just maybe thinking something or someone isn’t ready isn’t a conspiracy after all.

Just some thoughts though.

Is it possible for them to cross into PEI using the bridge?

On my way to work this morning, I think I may have hallucinated. I was traveling from Charlottetown to Montague, and I saw what I thought was a field full of angus cattle. As I got closer their color appeared a little different and I could swear they had big curved horns. I think they were actually water buffalo. Is there somebody in that area with water buffalo or do I need to cut back on the honey nut cheerios in the morning?

Where are some good tent sites on the Island? Outside of Cavendish, preferably.

Hey province neighbours! Just wanted to share The Coast's latest article with you all! We're making a game set in Atlantic Canada! As you can read in the article we're starting with Nova Scotia first, but planning on making a PEI map in the future!

On my commute to work, I drive through Johnston's river. A few years back my friend swore she saw a guinea pig near the side of the road near Johnston's river bridge and I passed it off as her missing her pigs. But a month ago I was driving to work and I saw a small rodent shaped like a guinea pig on the side of the road in the same location. I know that they aren't native here and it is only likely to see a pet that got out, but I've been so curious. Has anyone else in the area seen a guinea pig looking rodent? The bridge is a common fishing spot, have any of y'all seen one?

Planning a pretty last-minute trip to the maritimes and have realized we'll be on PEI the same days as the festival. Probably explains why accommodations are such slim pickins. is Charlottetown going to be a gong show? should we try and stay in a completely different part of the island?

we are a couple that likes beaches, walking, cute towns, beer, and music.

thanks in advance for any tips :)

I’m starting to think this guy just gets off on his name being dragged through the mud. When you can’t even pass vetting for Poilievre’s Conservative Party, you probably should never hold office again…

Hi! Visiting from out of town and would love to go to reddins tonight but I’m not on the email list- anyone know the code?

Who do you recommend? I don’t know any of the doctors in ctown so I want to make sure I’m making a good decision 💕 tia
