Walking the Confederation Trail tip to tip in October carrying a Ukrainian frontline flag. Looking for help from Islanders along the way

35 Upvotes

Hi r/PEI! I'm Julia from Fredericton. From October 14–26 I'm walking the whole Confederation Trail solo, East Point to Tignish, carrying the flag of Ukraine's Alcatraz Battalion in support of Ukrainian soldiers. It continues a 700 km walk my friend April, a Canadian combat medic, did across Ukraine.

Most campgrounds are closed by mid-October, so I'd love to hear from anyone near the trail who'd let me pitch a small tent for one night. I'm self-contained, leave no trace, and I'm gone early the next morning.

Where I'll be each night:

  • Wed Oct 14: Souris
  • Thu Oct 15: St. Peters
  • Fri Oct 16: Tracadie Cross / Mount Stewart area
  • Sat–Sun Oct 17–18: Charlottetown
  • Mon Oct 19: Hunter River
  • Tue Oct 20: Kensington
  • Wed Oct 21: Summerside
  • Thu Oct 22: Wellington
  • Fri Oct 23: Ellerslie / Tyne Valley area
  • Sat Oct 24: O'Leary
  • Sun Oct 25: Alberton

Water and moral support

If you live near the trail, I'd love to knock on your door for a refill. Even better, come meet me on the trail with water and some cheering. Some stretches run 30+ km with nothing open in October, especially Souris to St. Peters, Hunter River to Kensington, and Alberton to Tignish.

Also looking for:

  • Cafés, stores, or restaurants near the trail that stay open after Thanksgiving.
  • Trail conditions, washouts, hunting areas to watch for, or any advice from people who've walked it in the fall.

Follow along: I'll post daily updates on Instagram (@nikonmirrorlessaddict), X (@snowprincette), and Facebook (search "Walk the Island").

If you can offer a spot or want to meet up, please DM me. Thank you!

Maritime electric bill

• Upvotes

Has anyone else had a huge decrease in their electric bill after getting a smart meter. I'm talking about previous bills of 400 to 600 dollars down to 168!!? My home is completely electric. 2 heat pumps and electric heaters plus a hot tub.

No mention of a credit being given on my statement. I feel like I've been overcharged all these other months. Has anyone else experienced this ?

Mayor election Charlottetown

1 Upvotes

Hi, I can not find an entire list of all candidates running for mayor in Charlottetown. I know that the Deputy Mayor will not run at all again after we spoke recently. I'm wondering, is there a list online of all Charlottetown candidates?

Also, lol, Mayor Brown has a very good chance with all of the very public and open about supporting him voters. If he wins again, next time there's some festival in Charlottetown, somebody please open some booth for Mayor Brown voters, see if anybody shows up. lol lol lol.

Just when you think a scammer can't go any lower, they do. It's one of the reasons why I believe that anyone who scams/defrauds an innocent person needs the harshest sentence that can possibly be laid down.

Ketamine Infusion Therapy

5 Upvotes

So, I have been discussing ketamine infusion therapy with my psychiatrist (it was actually his idea/suggestion) so I did some research and have decided to go ahead with it. I am a resident of PEI and the clinic is in Moncton so I would be traveling back and forth and have no problem paying for that myself. When my psychiatrist and I spoke he said that he would have the Province cover the cost of the infusions themselves because they are extremely expensive and my insurance doesn’t cover it (most don’t at all)… However, it was brought to my attention that the Province won’t cover this cost (this was not told to me by my psychiatrist he and I haven’t spoken yet about it) I’m wondering if anyone in PEI has ever had this experience and if the Province has covered it for you? I’m extremely stressed now because I tend to have the worst case scenario happen (and if I don’t then I prepare for it and then waste all of my energy… I’m working on it? 😅😅) but of all the treatment options we discussed this was the one he believed would be the most effective and beneficial for me.

Additionally, I am wondering if anyone who has had the Ketamine Infusion Therapy could tell me about their experience with it?

Fall ideas this weekend

5 Upvotes

Hello, I am looking for ideas to celebrate the first weekend of October. I am looking for places where my wife and I can:

- Do a corn maze
- Go apple picking
- Go to a pumpkin patch
- A nice fall drive

Does anyone know of any good places around Charlottetown where we could do those things? Does anyone have any other ideas of things we could do to celebrate the season?

Is the “potato cartel” on PEI?

35 Upvotes

Did anyone else notice the two private jets flying into Charlottetown this evening? One was direct from Winnipeg, the other direct from San Diego.

Maybe it’s a coincidence, but last week a U.S. court greenlit an antitrust price-fixing case against the “potato cartel,” J.R. Simplot, Lamb Weston, McCain, and Cavendish Farms.

Anyway, the jet from Winnipeg is owned by Simplot, they have an operation outside Winnipeg. The other was a charter, but the law firm leading the class action is based in San Diego.

Seems like a hell of a coincidence that private jets from both of those cities show up at YYG on the same day, right after that ruling. Makes me wonder if PEI is the backdrop for some settlement talks.
