First things first.
While I was doing some research about the Prince Edward Island election, which ends Monday, I came across The Guardian, one (the only one?) of the province's newspapers.
They have what might possibly be the best slogan of any newspaper ever.
Keep in mind that I once worked for The Oakville Beaver, where the slogan once was "Leave it to the Beaver."
The Guardian outdoes that.
Here it is:
The Guardian: Covers Prince Edward Island like the dew.
That is clever.

Now, onto the election.
After reading the news that has accumulated since the beginning of the campaign, it turns out not much is really going on.
Stratford, the fastest-growing community in PEI, wants a junior high school. The Pat Binns Progressive Conservatives have promised to give it to them.
Unfortunately, they didn't tell the school board about it. The school board trustees had decided last year to not build the school. According to the CBC, "The board already had two projects on its priority list, a new gym for Tracadie Cross, and a new high school in Montague."
The Progressive Conservatives have also promised 25 new doctors. PEI, according to the news from out there, has a doctor deficit. Apparently 25 doctors will fix the problem. Plus 15 nurses.
Binns has also promised a convention centre in Charlottetown. Sexy stuff.
Rob Ghiz, the Liberal leader, said that in four years everyone in PEI will have a family doctor if he's elected, though he hasn't specified how many doctors that will take.
Ghiz also promised he'd bring in a water quality task force and cut the fee Islanders pay for well water testing in half.
In case you're wondering, this is, in fact, the most boring election campaign ever!
At least it's over Monday.
