The P.E.I. government says it plans to expand the private delivery of health care for Islanders. As long as you don't pay out of pocket, does it matter if the clinic you go to is privately run? We'll take a dive into that issue with CBC P.E.I. legislative reporter Kerry Campbell.

Charlottetown’s Cliff Stewart swore an oath, and he kept it. Until the laws changed and he could share his story of living in the shadows as a war-era spy. As CBC’s Laura Chapin retires after a long career, this week we’re sharing her documentary, A Man Most Ordinary, that originally aired in 2009.

Two musicals that were created on P.E.I. are heading to Toronto with Mirvish Productions: Inside American Pie and Tell Tale Harbour. Mitch sits down with the creators of both shows to talk about how we got here — and why this is a banner year for P.E.I. theatre.

There have long been accusations that two Buddhist groups control more land than they’re allowed to on P.E.I. The government is now investigating the land holdings. Reporter Kerry Campbell talks about the rumours and rhetoric.
