GREENS IN DOGFIGHT WITH LIBERALS FOR LEAD, POLL FINDS

Prince Edward Island had the first premier of non-European heritage, the first elected female premier and the first openly gay male premier. Now, polls are suggesting Island voters could soon elect Canada’s first Green government. “It’s real,” says pollster Don Mills, CEO of Corporate Research Associates. “We’ve been tracking their upward momentum for well over a year.” A CRA poll of 300 Islanders in August suggested the Greens had a slight edge on the Liberals.
