The mayor of Summerside has returned to social media and public office time after experiencing online harassment that he eventually had to report to police.

Since his election in November 2022, Dan Kuchar has been more active on social media platforms than many municipal politicians, and his open-office policy on Friday mornings could be considered unusual among public figures. But he felt such outreach was valuable.

“It’s always going to look different individually and differently, and that’s OK. I really think the purpose of this role is to make sure that our community becomes a better place, which doesn’t happen if we’re not … trying to make people’s lives better,” Kutcher told CBC News in an interview.

“What’s really important is that I take the time to understand their perspective and share my thoughts with them.”

His online presence has led to some difficult conversations with residents, but he said those conversations usually didn’t go beyond respectful disagreement.

That was until about six months ago, Kutcher began receiving repeated online messages from a man who later became more aggressive in his interactions. He did not elaborate.

These interactions resulted in direct threats against the mayor and his family, which Kutcher was advised to report to the police. That’s when he decided to take a break from social media.

“That’s not what you expect when you go into this type of role.”

The dangers are rising

Online harassment and threats against politicians, particularly female politicians, are on the rise in this province and across the country.

That’s according to the P.E.I. Coalition for Women in Government, which has been contacted by five municipal elected officials about online harassment and abuse in the past six months alone.

Coalition executive director Sarah Outram said the P.E.I. government should consider stronger legislation and consequences for this type of behaviour.

“The internet is not the villain here; it’s a tool that can be used, and unfortunately people are using this tool to commit acts of harassment, to commit acts of tech-assisted violence,” Outram said.

“But … an instance of online harassment can translate into in-person harassment. That’s a clear trend in the data we’ve seen and it’s something we want to prevent from continuing.”

Women of colour, gender-diverse people and people of different sexualities are particularly vulnerable to online hate, she said. Outram said it can get so bad that it deters people from going into politics, leading to less diverse representation.

‘They’re hiding behind the keyboard’

Bruce McDougall, president of the P.E.I. Municipalities Association and a Summerside councillor for 34 years, agrees that the increase in online threats will discourage people from running for election at all levels of government.

We used to say that if people were speaking out and not coming forward, they were shooting from the bushes. Now they are hiding behind the keyboard, and that is wrong.— Bruce McDougall

He said, “When I first got involved, we used to say that if people were saying something but not coming forward, they were shooting from the bushes. Now they’re hiding behind the keyboard, and that’s wrong.”

“We have good people who are trying to put their name forward to represent the greater good of the community. If this continues, these people will not put their name forward. This is something they don’t need to do, and it should never happen.”

That’s why Kutcher recently decided, in his own words, “after time and reflection” to return to social media.

He said, “Social media can be really positive – forget about me, but for the residents. So I decided … I would try to refocus on it and continue to use it as another tool to listen to residents and share perspectives with them.”

“People can now reach out to all politicians in ways that weren’t possible before, whether it’s on messenger or on the telephone or in person. But I also think you need to make sure you’re active and you’re out there, because you want to be accessible and you want to be open to listening and talking to people.”

Despite this horrific incident, Mayer believes most people are good and want to have respectful conversations, even if they disagree with him. His advice is to respect and consider the opinions of others — and he said we should all do a better job of listening to each other.

“If I ever get into a situation where I feel safe or unsafe, [felt] my family was [not] “I wouldn’t do that, because it’s safe,” Kuchar said.

“One of the things about this role is you have to trust people a lot that they will do what they need to do, and that they will do their job well.”

A team at the University of Waterloo has created the Silver Alert app, designed to help find vulnerable elderly people if they go missing. Lily Liu is the dean of the university’s Faculty of Health and spoke with CBC News: Compass host Louise Martin about how the app could save lives.

Prince Edward Island officials are closely monitoring developments surrounding the potential shutdown of Air Canada, as a deadline approaches in a labour dispute with the company’s pilots.

The airline’s managers have urged the federal government to be ready to intervene to avoid major disruption to the more than 110,000 passengers a day the closure would cause.

Starting Sunday, Air Canada will be in a position to issue notice of a lockout 72 hours in advance, and its pilots’ union is also able to signal the start of a legal strike 72 hours in advance. The airline has said such notice would move its three-day wind-down plan toward a full shutdown.

“Everyone is trying to make alternate plans and travel. We’re a large nation that relies on air travel and it’s essential to this country,” Bobby Morrissey, MP for P.E.I.’s Egmont region, told CBC News on Friday.

“The government has to respect both sides. Under the law, the bargaining unit has the right to negotiate on behalf of its workers, but at the same time, the government has the overall responsibility to make sure that transportation remains efficient and that transportation is available to those who need it.”

Morrissey said Transport Minister Pablo Rodriguez was monitoring the situation, but hoped the two sides would be able to negotiate to avoid a shutdown.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on friday He said it’s up to Air Canada and the union representing its pilots to reach an agreement to avoid disruption to passengers and businesses.

The airline says the pilots’ union is not flexible in the face of “unreasonable wage demands.” The union has said negotiations are being hampered by corporate greed, adding that Air Canada continues to earn record profits while expecting below-market pay from pilots.

‘Growing concern’

Charlottetown Airport Authority CEO Doug Newson said in a statement to CBC News that the airline’s flights in September represented more than 70 per cent of total seat capacity at P.E.I.’s largest airport, carrying about 1,200 passengers daily along with cargo.

“As each day passes without any solution, our anxiety increases [about] “This could have an impact on our community, travellers and the province’s tourism industry, which is very busy during the fall season,” Newson said in the statement.

“We encourage all passengers to stay informed about the status of their flight. Staying up to date with official updates from Air Canada will help manage your travel expectations.”

Kent Scales, chair of the Tourism Industry Association of P.E.I.’s board of directors, wrote a letter to federal officials this week expressing concern about the possibility of Air Canada shutting down.

He wrote that the province is entering the busiest time of the year for leisure and business travel, and he encouraged Ottawa to support the talks.

“Air Canada provides an essential service bringing visitors to our shores, and any disruption to their operations — particularly during the busy autumn season — would cause widespread challenges,” Scales wrote.

“Any disruption to air travel will result in mass cancellations, fewer bookings and reduced visitor spending, impacting the livelihoods of countless islanders. Additionally, the wider economic impact will be felt by businesses and workers who are already struggling to recover from the financial impacts of the pandemic.”
