Richard Raiswell - Order of PEI

Mainstreet's Political Columnist Richard Raiswell has some words of advice when it comes to handing out awards on Prince Edward Island. Some people are upset when P.E.I. Premier Robert Ghiz promised the Order of P.E.I. to two-time Olympic gold medallist Heather Moyse without going through the proper process. It certainly ruffled a few feathers, including our Political Columnist Richard Raiswell.

Richard teaches in the history faculty of UPEI. He does not work for any political party but he does hold a Green Party membership.
