[ISL] Three PEI links: economic growth, employment insurance zones, gleaners in the fields

[rfmcdonald]

• Prince Edward Island is apparently again leading the Maritimes in economic growth. This is something of an unexpected reversal. The Guardian reports.


• The division of PEI into two zones for employment insurance purposes, one around Charlottetown and the other including the rest of the island, does--among other things--reflect growing regional economic divides. CBC reports.


• Gleaners, people combing the fields of the Island looking for edible food left after the harvest, is apparently a thing. CBC reports.
