What does it take to lead the PEI Liberal Party back to power, and can a return to principled experience be the key to unseating a long-entrenched government?
The PEI Liberal Party has a new leader and a renewed sense of momentum. Robert Mitchell, a former Minister with over a decade of experience in the Legislative Assembly, joins the Progress Canada Podcast to discuss the road back to government.
Despite a narrow by-election loss shortly after taking the helm, Mitchell breaks down how the party grew its vote share by over 30% and why recent polling shows the Liberals are now neck-and-neck with the governing Progressive Conservatives.
As Islanders face an affordability crisis and a healthcare system under strain, Mitchell argues that the PC government’s revolving door of leadership has left the province drifting when it needs stability most.
From rebalancing rapid population growth with housing infrastructure to protecting the Island’s vital role in national food security, Mitchell outlines a vision for an economy that works for all Islanders, not just the few at the top.
