Damn..I should have read the full set of rules. Is 1st prize a week in PEI and 2nd prize 2 weeks
Speaking of costs to leave the island, at Christmas time we ended up paying 43 euros for a road tunnel between France and Italy. The sticker shock on that 13 km tunnel was something I wasn't expecting.

It's home to a rather good seeds/plants mail/internet order establishment.
That's all I've got given thread rule about root vegetables .

Re: Thread to discuss PEI
I think it's lovely. Summerside is beautiful, with lots of little craft shops and restaurants on a boardwalk. Like you see on old films of the US seaside. Charlottetown is 'the Home of Confederation' and has some very nice architecture, good looking squares with historic homes and a fort - very entertaining to visit. It's very flat, with softly rolling fields and looks a bit like English countryside. It is dreadful in winter with snow drifting all over, they have trucks picking it up and taking it out of Charlottetown. The Confederation Bridge is hugely impressive, and the museum/centre at the end of it well worth a visit. Like everything in Canada PEI is a bit of a faff to get to, but well worth it. I could eat till I'm sick there...seafood of every sort, very yum

The punishment is two weeks in a log cabin in PEI. In January. With Partially Discharged (numbers could well grow, given the absence of reading skills on this forum).

Around here, yes. Towns even fight about it, sometimes. Especially since legislation stopped "dumping it on the ice up the far end of the lake & waiting for spring".

Here too, in places. On my street, the municipal policy seems to be to come round with a backhoe and dump everything on people's front yards. They were here a couple of days ago. I won't be seeing my Bell or Videotron boxes again for a while.

How annoying😡. I have a recording/photos somewhere of a convoy of snow-clearing machinery loading excess snow into trucks to be transported and dumped elsewhere.

Tractor/blower and trucks crawling along side by side and the one behind taking over when the one in front was full.

When we were up in St. Augustin recently, I saw a meanest-looking blower ever. The augurs were about six feet wide and there were two of them in a stack. I later saw it in action. Tabernac!

That's the sort of machinery we're used to around here, Caliss !
