Podcast: Why P.E.I. Is The Economic Star Of Atlantic Canada
In this episode of the Huddle “Insights” podcast, Don Mills and David Campbell start a four-part series on each of the provincial economies in the region. Prince Edward Island has led the way in both population growth and GDP growth in the region for the last decade and this episode explores the reasons for the Island’s success. This week’s featured interview is with Wade MacLauchlan in his first in-depth interview since leaving the Premier’s office in 2019.
The “Insights” podcast combines the experiences of an economist, David Campbell, and a social scientist, Don Mills, to explore the challenges and opportunities facing Atlantic Canada, to promote data-driven decision-making among policymakers, and to encourage a wider dialogue and debate leading to greater prosperity for the region.
