Maritime of My Life (Pt. 43) - Seeing What's Going Down in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island (PEI)
July 5, 2017 - On my first night in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, I get my bearings by exploring the downtown core of this delightfully small city on this beautiful little island province.
I see sights such as City Hall, Victoria Park, Charlottetown Harbour, mighty oak trees, the cruise port, the Harbour Hippo, Peake's Quay, Queen Street, Victoria Row, and the main shopping district downtown, plus the spires of St. Dunstan's Basilica Cathedral and, of course, Province House, the birthplace of confederation of my home and native land.

SUMMARY
=======
Post-Confederation Canada (1867–1914) is the history of a new nation from its formation to the outbreak of World War I in 1914. Canada had a population of 3.5 million, residing in the large expanse from Cape Breton to just beyond the Great Lakes, usually within a hundred miles or so of the Canada–US border. One in three Canadians was French, and about 100,000 were aboriginal (First Nation, Inuit, Métis). It was a rural country composed of small farms. With a population of 115,000, Montreal was the largest city, followed by Toronto and Quebec at about 60,000. Pigs roamed the muddy streets of Ottawa, the small new national capital.
Besides subsistence agriculture, the economy was based on exports of lumber, fish and grain, and the import of investment capital from London and New York. Factories were small, except for those making farm implements. Overall the economy prospered in the first years of Confederation, but a world-wide depression 1873-1896 severely hurt the export economy, reduced the inflow of foreign capital, and reduced the flow of immigration. Economic growth of total GNP (in constant dollars) averaged only 2.4 percent per year, 1870 to 1896, then surged to 6.2 percent, 1897-1913. Part of that increase was due to population growth. The rate of growth of GNP per capita was 1.3% , 1870 to 1896, then surged to 2.6 percent, 1897-1913. The growth rate was respectable, but lower than that of the United States, and fueled a sense of disappointment that Confederation had not delivered on its promise of prosperity.
Politically, the Father of Confederation, John A. Macdonald (1815 – 1891) and his Conservative Party (Tories) dominated national politics until his death (with one interruption). The Liberals (Grits) under Wilfrid Laurier (1841-1919) were in power 1896 to 1911, and then were ousted in a campaign based on anti-Americanism by Robert Borden.Francophones had a distinct and traditionalistic culture, led by the landholders and the priests. The Anglophones took pride in their Britishness and in their refusal to be swallowed up by the United States. Baseball and lacrosse were favorite sports. Cultural facilities were limited. There were only two public libraries in the entire new country; half the adults in Quebec could not read. Hard drinking in all ranks was the norm; in fact, the new prime minister, John A. Macdonald, was sometimes drunk in public. Politically, the new nation was defined by its practicality, realism, and stoicism; it had little interest in theory or aesthetics. Much more important was loyalty to family, church, political party, and Queen Victoria. Historians later emphasized the iconic phrase Peace, Order and Good Government (paix, ordre et bon gouvernement) as founding constitutional principles, but at the time it was rarely quoted.On the eve of the great war in 1914, the national population had reached 8.1 million. Most of the growth had taken place in the new western provinces, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia, while immigration from abroad reached 400,000 annually. The great national achievement was the building of transcontinental railways that opened the prairies to settlement. The rich new farmlands made Canada a major exporter of wheat. Issues of nationalism versus loyalty to the British Crown continued. So too did increasingly bitter disputes on language issues, especially the role of the French language outside Québec. Ethno-religious tensions flared between the Francophones and the Anglophones, between the Catholic Irish (greens) and the Protestant Irish (Orange), and between the whites and the Asians on the West Coast.
Prince Edward Island
Prince Edward Island (PEI or P.E.I.; French: Île-du-Prince-Édouard, pronounced: [il dy pʁɛ̃s‿edwaʁ], Quebec French pronunciation: [ɪl d͡zy pʁẽs‿edwɑːʁ], Mi'kmaq: Epekwitk, Scottish Gaelic: Eilean a' Phrionnsa) is a Canadian province consisting of the main island itself, as well as other islands.
It is one of the three Maritime provinces and is the smallest province in both land area and population. The island has several informal names: Garden of the Gulf referring to the pastoral scenery and lush agricultural lands throughout the province; and Birthplace of Confederation or Cradle of Confederation, referring to the Charlottetown Conference in 1864, although PEI did not join Confederation until 1873, when it became the seventh Canadian province. The backbone of the economy is farming, as it produces 25% of Canada's potatoes. Historically, PEI is one of Canada's older settlements and demographically still reflects older immigration to the country, with Celtic, Anglo Saxon and French last names being overwhelmingly dominant to this day.

CANADA WALK CHARLOTTETOWN DEC 7 2001 PT 1
3rd CAMPAIGN
CANADA 769 DAY WALK
June 20, 2000 August 9, 2002
This was Step By Step 3rd Campaign, the Canada 769 Day Walk. Liver Transplant Recipient George Marcello continued his journey of addressing Canadas organ & tissue shortage. He carried an Olympic style Torch called the Torch Of Life in memory of Victor Davis. His goal was to wake up Canada by inspiring the media, public & 3 levels of Government. Mr. Marcello continued to conduct thousands of consultations and gathered invaluable information that expanded and confirmed his previous campaign, the Ontario Walk.
Pope John Paul 2 asked George to join him at Vatican City. On September 5 2001, his holiness blessed the Torch and proclaimed to the world, that organ & tissue donations, is a Genuine Act of Love. He also urged George to pass the Torch to the Youth, who would eventually become the voice of Step By Step.
CANADA 769 DAY WALK BEGINS
Torch of Life is born
June 20 2000: Toronto Canada
Step By Step launched the Canada 769 Day Walk. We started at Danforth Collegiate Technical Institute that morning and made our way to Queens Park. After getting blessed by Ontario Parliament we made our way to Toronto City Hall. It started as the Canada 500 Day Walk; it soon became the Canada 600 Day Walk, only to eventually become the Canada 769 Day Walk. During the period before our Kickoff, the Step-By-Step team was working around the clock to raise $750,000.oo to meet the budget for the entire Walk Campaign. Things looked very optimistic, several large corporations made promises; government grants seemed attainable, especially after the positive impact and recognition Step By Step received by the entire Province of Ontario. On kickoff day, we had exciting activities planned throughout the city of Toronto. This including stops at the City Hall, Parliament Building, and different ethnic neighborhoods. All the media outlets were covering our activities, along with notable Politicians, celebrities, athletes, and many people. Everyone showed up enthusiastically, except for the people who were going to present the cheques. It seemed like we had all the eggs in one basket and the basket didnt appear. The Step-By-Step team was devastated. With no foreseeable funds coming in and with only $5,000.00 in our budget, everyone panicked and collapsed and the majority of people resigned. The dream that had so much hope, so much glory, was turning into a nightmare on Day 1. During the campaign leading up to the kickoff, over 90 cities and towns on the Canada 769 Day Walk schedule had worked very hard preparing activities and were very excited to have Step By Step visit them. George was prepared not to let them down; he was not going to let his mom down, and all those people who still believed in the dream. With a dismal budget of $5,000.oo, a borrowed vehicle and no permanent road crew, George marched on under the divine inspiration of Whitney Houstons song Step By Step.
Torch Of Life gets lit
It was here that the Torch of Life was officially lit by Mayor Mel Davis. He then passed the Torch to a Donor family member who then passed it onto a person waiting for an organ transplant. That day Step By Step had a mere $6000.00 in the budget. We organized 500 communities and over 100,000 individuals to participate in over 4,000 events. In every community we coordinated activities with the media, members from all 3 levels o9f government, schools, churches, malls, festivals, service clubs, cultural groups, sports events, army - police - firefighters - and ambulance forces. We invited people from all walks of life and different agencies and organizations. We conducted over 1000 press conferences and consultations. Discussions, debates, and workshops became a daily activity. We had no permanent road team. We had to recruit road team members 27 times during this campaign. I suffered physically with e-coli, influenza, infections, and something new hypothermia. I was stalked by a cougar and came face to face with a black bear. Dogs would chase me once a week. I felt the roar of many transport trucks in 9 different seasons on many roads and highways. I wanted to give up 113 times. On the road we would beg for food and shelter. We distributed hundreds of thousands of donor cards. We met and inspired health officials in each province. Our goal was to wake up Canada.

Prince Edward Island (PEI or P.E.I.; French: Île-du-Prince-Édouard) is a province of Canada consisting of the island of the same name, and several much smaller islands. Prince Edward Island is one of the three Maritime Provinces and is the smallest province in both land area and population. It is part of the traditional lands of the Mi'kmaq, and became a British colony in the 1700s and was federated into Canada as a province in 1873. Its capital is Charlottetown. According to the 2016 census, the province of Prince Edward Island has 142,907 residents.The backbone of the economy is farming; it produces 25% of Canada's potatoes.
