Journalism Career
In early 1843, Whelan left the The Register as well as Nova Scotia. He moved at the age of 19 to Charlottetown, P.E.I. hoping to start a new newspaper. His first attempt, The Spectator, failed. However, by June 1843 he began circulating The Palladium, which became the favoured paper of Irish Catholics living on Prince Edward Island. This venture ended in May 1845 due to debts. Edward Whelan accused the Liberals of not supporting him enough. He threatened to leave PEI but ended up staying.
