"There is a curse. They say: May you live in interesting times." Terry Pratchett, Discworld 1984. There is no denying, we do indeed live in interesting times. Trade Wars, unstable ecnomic outlooks, a rapidly rising cost of living, and cliamte change effects increasing each year. With all that is going on around the world it can be hard to focus on local issues and needs when everything feels overwhelming and often times hopeless, but this exact issue is why I am running

When you first start running for office, you get a lot of advice. The biggest one? Don’t make promises you won’t be able to keep. I have kept this in the back of my mind for the last 4 months and tried to move my campaign forward rooted in how to best represent what the community needs and what people have told me they have seen lacking in recent years for council. It is with these things in mind I bring you a short list of what I can promise if elected to council. 1) Increas

"Ward 2 - In Bloomfield/Hallowell, eight candidates are vying for two seats. The Radiator Collective’s Erynn Ahern and former urban planner Victor Lind are standouts. Ms. Ahern, a proponent of the affordable housing initiative at the former Queen Elizabeth school in Picton, is not afraid to say food insecurity might be more important than the roads, while Mr. Lind is already well known from his volunteer work, formerly with Save Picton Bay and now Stop Illegal Quarries PEC.

While I've spent a lot of time this election campaign talking about why I'd be a good councillor, today I wanted to share with you what other folks have said about why they want to see me in council. The following endorsements are from members of the community with whom I have collaborated with at some point in the last few years on various art and advocacy projects. Thank you to all who wrote something for their trust and vote of confidence. "Erynn is a vital community memb

Last night we sat down at Isaiah Tubbs with the Mayoral Candidates, School Board Trustee candidates and a whole lot of our neighbours who came to ask the hard questions and hear from the potential Ward 2 councillors give their answers. With 13 people on the stage it was a long night and a whole lot of talking so I want to thank everyone for sticking it out with all of us until the late hours. Thank you as well to the West Lake Community Association for organizing the event,

I attended the mayor’s debate on Monday night. It was an informative evening and I would encourage everyone to listen to it over on County FM. There was one question of the evening, however, that I was throughly disappointed in the answers of all three candidates and some of the short sightedness it displayed and I want to talk about it. County Arts submitted a single question to all the candidates across all wards and seats, with three options to answer it; “If Municipal inv

Well Prince Edward County voters, let’s talk policy. This is of course, the biggest question when it comes to running for office. What are your issues? What are your plans? It’s easy to come out and make statements like “we need affordable housing” or “it’s time for us to cut spending and be fiscally responsible” or “let’s fix the roads”. But what does that look like in practice over the next four years? How do we ensure a balance of support for basic needs while also continu
