World Cup parties set for Prince George soccer fans

Real excitement was watching the NBA and NHL finals..watching the Knicks win was incredible!I will not be partaking in watching any of the FIFA snoozefest games where men with perfect haircuts trip and fall in the slightest breeze or from a crooked blade of grass. Sitting for two hours watching two teams of GQ men play to a draw isn't sport, it's boring.But i'm sure the rich elite champagne and caviar crowd enjoy watching the men prance about with their little ball.

We can also use it as a farewell party for Mayor and council.

It is sad that one has to pay for parking at all. A quick search says they make around $300,000 per year which covers operational costs. I'm betting a large chunk of that goes to ImPark.

Go Canada on Thursday to have a shot at the final 32! I have to say I am not a huge football/soccer fan but the drone show after the final match has me excited!

Bizarre take. If anything soccer is a low income sport with no equipment needed to get started. It's an actual global game with teams from all of the world at the World Cup. The NHL features teams from 2 countries and players from less than 15 countries. The rest of that nonsense is a copy and paste rant from 20 years ago, there is nothing easy about playing soccer. It's always old men who can't run with this take too.

New economic development strategy lists PG's strengths, weaknesses

Oil patch has traditionally paid higher wages along with higher pay to contractors. I know people who've become "commuters" to the oil patch. They ended up moving to cities that have direct flights to places like Fort Mac. Improvement in air services would benefit PG by keeping those people in town. One should pressure the Corrections Service to institute a plan where released inmates are sent back to their home communities upon discharge. Downtown revitalization has been an issue since my childhood. Heavy industry and manufacturing doesn't care since they can't set up shop there. "truck drivers and heavy-equipment operators", like many occupations are faced with the current workforce "aging out". Many younger people don't want to work the odd hours truckers face. Companies are reluctant to hire inexperienced operators because of increased wear/tear and breakdowns caused by them.

Praise a sport that has "load management" then make fun of the sport where you run further than any other team sport for being boring. Okay then.

Prince George Humane Society facing an overload of cats

One of the things that is stopping me from getting another cat is the cost unfortunately after taxes and fees are factored in you are shelling out over $400. I understand the associated costs and that it costs money to care for cats but in today’s climate many people can’t afford to buy a cat or a dog as it is expensive.With that being said many people are loving pet owners but not responsible pet owners. They want the cat or dog but once they have it they then don’t really do anything with it. Dogs require exercise daily, proper nutrition, grooming daily and training. Cats require regular grooming, proper nutrition, daily play time and training as well. Unfortunately most owners don’t do half of what is listed and eventually pets become strays. Owning a pet requires commitment if you’re not willing to commit then are you sure pet ownership is for you?

There shouldn't be any paying parking for the hospital its an essential need

Former Prince George businessman afflicted by rare muscle disease

It is sad to hear of his illness, but heartening that there is now a treatment for it. Neurology is one of the areas in which medicine has been making great advances. During my father's career as a neurologist, the unfunny joke was that neurologists were good at diagnosis but could rarely cure anything.

Another massive word salad report to sit on the shelf and collect dust with all the other reports over the years.The report basically hits common sense points.The line , " workplace constraints partially due to a lack of population growth ...." flies in the face of what the City would like you to believe, that the City's population has grown by leaps and bounds.I also wouldn't get too excited about temporary work surges due to pipeline or transmission line construction. The economic benefits of these infrastructure projects will be fleeting and not permanent.Unless new major industrial or commercial manufacturing facilities locate in PG then the status quo will remain.PG cannot rely on the ever expanding and bloated provincial government health and social services sector to support its economy because eventually those services will be slashed.

Those stupid pay parking ticket machines usually are 'not' working whenever I go to visit in the Hospital ! Walking around trying to find a machine that works is frustrating !Should just take them out. Just another money grab anyways .

Good reminder how our societies reliance on the internet and other safety measures like security cameras can be disabled so easily in such a large areamore prepared businesses would probably have a solar power backup system of some sort but its probably rare
