[ISL] Five Prince Edward Island notes: polling, obituaries, UPEI, Charlottetown, Victoria-by-the-Sea

[rfmcdonald]

• The Guardian reports that polling reveals the three leading parties of Prince Edward Island--the Liberals, the NDP, and the Greens--are too close to call.


• CBC's As It Happens reports on the confusion caused readers by the fact that, one day, the Journal-Pioneer of Summerside had no obituaries.


• More international students studying at UPEI have stayed and found jobs locally on the Island, CBC reports.


• Vacation rentals seem to be cutting significantly into the stock of housing in Charlottetown. CBC reports.


• The small community of Victoria-by-the-Sea has apparently passed effective legislation to discourage vacation rentals and encourage year-round settlement in its housing stock. CBC reports.
