[ISL] Five Island links: gay bar, Charlottetown housing, Tignish, Filipino Bloomfield, Cavendish

[rfmcdonald]

• Can Charlottetown support a gay bar? A LGBTQ-oriented place might indeed do better than a nightclub, but even with students and tourists could the city support one? CBC reports.


• The City of Charlottetown needs to do better on creating affordable housing. The perfect is, after all, the enemy of the good. CBC reports.
• 
  
• The West Prince community of Tignish seems to be doing as good a job as it can of remaining a dynamic community, at least according to this CBC article.


• The Guardian reports on the opening of a Filipino store in Bloomfield, oriented towards the growing Filipino community in that part of the Island.


• The Cavendish Musical Festival is apparently going well, with a minimum of unexpected issues. (Has anyone reading this ever been there? What is it like?) CBC reports.
