Election 2011 on Prince Edward Island
Posted by Christina Harnett
A ho-hum election on PEI got a lot more interesting - and even a little nasty - when the federal government brought the Island's immigration scandal back to the front burner.
This week we looked at how that story played out in town halls and on Twitter.
And we find out what else Islanders across the province are saying in the lead-up to Monday's election.

The Edmonton Model (Interview with Angus McBeath)
Posted by Christina Harnett
As the gap between rich and poor widens, many say we need a revolution in education to help more kids succeed in school.
Thirty years ago, that revolution happened in Edmonton - and it was led by a Maritimer.
Angus McBeath was born in New Brunswick, educated in Nova Scotia and started teaching on Prince Edward Island.
But it was as the superintendent of Edmonton Public Schools that he really made his mark.
He speaks to Pauline about the lessons schools here can take away from the Edmonton model.

Mind The Gap
Posted by Christina Harnett
It's September. A month of new backpacks and unscuffed shoes and fresh looseleaf. A time alive with acadmic possibility.
But for some children, all that promise just doesn't pan out.
Provincial governments across the country have long tried to figure out why some students barely scrape by, fail classes or drop out of school, while others flourish.
What they've found is that the gap between ambition and achievement isn't so easy to close.
Reporter Lezlie finds out why, in her documentary "Mind the Gap."

Border Stories
Posted by Christina Harnett
Ten years ago the United States closed it's borders after the terrorist attacks of 9/11.
When they opened again things had changed dramatically for people who live along Canada's oldest boundary.
The CBC's Jacques Poitras visits the line between New Brunswick and Maine, to find out how the last decade has affected communities whose ties go back centuries.
