West Prince residents have offered to send Charlottetown all the poles it wants now the CRTC has approved cell towers for Mount Edward Road. “If you think cell phones make your ears tingle, lookie here dey light poles will light up your night,” said local pundit René de Tignish at the Legion. Alberton Mayor Perry Morrell when contacted refused an on camera interview but did wonder what was on Mayor Clifford Lee’s mind. “We’ll take one cell tower for 10 power poles or two windmills,” he offered in a trade. We contacted local MLA Neil LeClair for the Provincial government’s point of view. “I’m lost somewhere in Boston,” LeClair said on his cell phone. “I’m down here for the fish show and haven’t gotten off the highway yet. Does anyone know how to get out of the Big Dig? I’ve been driving this rental car for hours and can’t find the turn around.” We told him to take I93 North, turn right on I95 and keep driving until he gets home.
