Nice tour you gave Dave. I'm a tiler, can i relocate to PEI hoping to practice my skill over there? What do you think?

@@Dave_4324 I’m not familiar enough with demand for tilers out there to be able to confidently answer your question. Maybe someone from PEI who watches the video might be able to speak to this!

nice video...dining is always a highlight for us, on our holidays...now, were there places/restaurants that di not meet what you expected? Dining is expensive, so we always want a good experience...Charlottetown really is nice, especially when there are no cruise ships, in port.

I was only in Charlottetown for a short time, so the only places I visited are the ones featured in the video. They were all sponsored meals (in exchange for appearing in this video), but I can honestly say they were great experiences and I'd have been happy to have paid. The Brickhouse, in particular, was one of my favourite meals in the Maritimes!

@MatildaandSuki 9 ай бұрын

thanks for your reply...some reviewers seem to get carried away with reviews of the hotel etc. Always a conflict, of interest, I guess. But I also think the people who post the review, owe it to the people watching the video, to be honest, or do not bother posting. Charlottetown is a nice town...so many places to dine! Looking forward to returning to PEI, this June...great place to visit. We also liked Halifax!! Keep posting...will look up the Brickhouse!!

@MatildaandSuki 9 ай бұрын

Just looked up the Brickhouse...looks greats..thanks for the heads up!

@DrifterDave 9 ай бұрын

That's always an issue when working with any advertisers or receiving any sponsorship, but rest assured with my content, I refuse to misrepresent, and if an experience isn't perfect, I give the business the opportunity to make it perfect, or be left out of the video. And I only partner with businesses that I feel offer quality and a positive experience to the consumer. But I agree, there are a lot of inflated/fake reviews out there. I hope you enjoy your next visit to PEI!

Lucy Maude Montgomery is more of a peace time author...she wrote novels other than Anne stories but still about leading female characters, like Jane Austen or Louisa May Alcott. Her stories depicted culture she grew up in, farming, spiritual, romantic post 1870s. Mark Twain enjoyed Anne of Green Gables, same kind of humor. Feel it has character wrestling to grow up, to be gracious and kind, not vain...sort out of touch with competitive business economy today. Country versus city. I read through her books from 1988-1992 living in a beach town, kinda slow going fishing place. Laid back until US 2003 really ruined its vibe, has an air force base. Oil wars did a number also town lived in is an oil port.So kinda not surprised if missed it, if did not know readers of that genre 🍒🏖🏡🐄 and society in certain places got kinda riotous.

Interesting! Thanks for sharing some of the history of LMM with me, as I'm not very familiar with her work. She wouldn't be the genre I'd ever choose to read, but I am grateful that her work has touched so many people and left such an impression. Thanks for your comments!

in the past prince edward island was very presbyturian and religious

@DrifterDave 6 ай бұрын

The Maritimes in general saw a major decline in religious observance in the past few generations. It's one of the most agnostic/athiest regions in Canada today, with most churches abandoned / shuttered / sold off as character homes.

@MrCherbear1990 2 ай бұрын

The maritimes is still quite religious…PEI itself once had separate post secondary institutions for Catholics and Protestants. The latter went to Prince of Wales College and the former went to Saint Dunstans University which is now UPEI. Although numbers may be down in the actual buildings on the Island, it’s very much a religious place. That’s why it was the last province in Canada to get access to abortion rights just a few years ago.

Are there sites for black history to tour

@DrifterDave 8 ай бұрын

I’m not sure! I was just there a short time. Check out their official tourism website to learn more about what Charlottetown has to offer: www.discovercharlottetown.com

Although there is a very small black population in PEI, it's the Province of Nova Scotia that is the hub of Canadian black history. There are very deep black history roots here in Nova Scotia, dating back hundreds of years. Nova Scotia has plenty of black communities, approximiately 52 in total. If you're interested in touring black history sites, you can visit the Black Loyalist Heritiage Centre in Shelburne, NS, with lots of history devoted to the Black Loyalists who came to NS back in the late 1700's. There is also the Black Cultural Centre in Dartmouth, NS. I would also suggest loking into the history of Africville.

@MrCherbear1990 2 ай бұрын

So I will be very honest as a person from PEI and say that the island is not very good with multiculturalism. Black history on PEI is not there unless people really go and look for it in the library or from historians. A perfect example of this is a neighborhood called The Bog, it was located in Charlottetown down near the water at the end of Kent St. A large black community lived there for about 100 years in the late 1800s early 1900s and now the provincial government buildings are there. No plaque, no explanation as to what the neighbourhood used to be, nothing.
