  • SPRING 2021 1 Continued
    Canadian eview V olume 44, No. 1 It’s an interesting anecdote when a family has more than one parliamentarian, but it’s remarkable when a family has two premiers. This phenomenon has occurred not once, not twice, but three times on Prince Edward Island. The Campbell, Ghiz, and Palmer families have all produced prominent politicians who held premierships for a combined 39 years. PEI’s first political dynasty began shortly after the Island achieved responsible government. Edward Palmer was the third premier elected on PEI, serving one four- year term as a Conservative. He was elected twice but was ousted as party leader by fellow Conservative John Hamilton Gray. Edward’s son, Herbert Palmer, was appointed premier in 1911 but was defeated in a subsequent by-election after only seven months as premier. The Palmer family was the only dynasty divided by partisan lines as Edward Palmer was a devout Conservative and Herbert Palmer a dedicated Liberal. Edward Palmer Continued on page: 2 Photo: House of Commons The Canadian Parliamentary Review was founded in 1978 to inform Canadian legislators about activities of the federal, provincial and territorial branches of the Canadian Region of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association and to promote the study of and interest in Canadian parliamentary institutions. Contributions from legislators, former members, staff and all other persons interested in the objectives of the Review are welcome. The Review is published for the Canadian Region, CPA. Any opinions expressed are those of individual contributors and should not be attributed to any Branch of the Canadian Region.

Rankin Inlet Dec. 30 was a banner day in Rankin Inlet with the community being declared Covid- free as the first shipment of the Moderna vac- cination against Covid-19 arrived. Nunavut Health Minister Lorne Kusugak said he believes the delivery of the vaccine marked the day the ball game changed against Covid-19. He said he was also quite happy to announcement the lockdown in Rankin Inlet was officially over on the same day he was able to welcome the vaccine. "We still can't have any more than 50 people at public gatherings, and it's still your household plus 10 for indoor gatherings, but we're starting to get where we want to be. "You still have to wear your mask and be cautious around other people, but we are now Covid-free in Rankin Inlet." Kusugak said shipments of the Moderna vaccine landed in Rankin and Iqaluit on Dec. 30. He said from here, the Government of Nunavut's plan will kick in and the vaccine will be rolled out first to those most in need. "We'll go with the Elder facilities and Elders first, and then we'll just keep rolling along from that point.
