Fencing starts going up around Moccasin Flats

I wonder if they will release the total bill the taxpayer paid for moccasin flats when the fence is finished? Should be public information considering where all the money came from.

It's refreshing to see President Trump tackling the massive Federal workers unions in the USA by beginning to strip away their collective bargaining rights.The same needs to happen here in Canada where public sector unions have become far too bloated and powerful and have ended up doing nothing more than increase our taxes and hold the country hostage whenever they cry, scream, and pout for more wages candy.

Drug Abuse... I thought that young adults entering secondary education had a little bit of COMMON SENSE... I guess I was wrong. Bill

I’m all for better wages but ironically these unions support and push the types of policies and the political parties that have been destroying the Canadian economy and public systems. You can’t “fight climate change” and have a good economy. You can’t have open borders with tax payer funded housing and have affordable housing. You can’t have %7 of the Canadian workforce as “temporary” workers and have good wages. 🤡 🇨🇦

The rural BC taxpayer should not have to pay increased taxes to pay for exorbitant wage increases for BCGEU employees living in Vancouver, Kelowna, and Victoria where the cost of living is much higher than rural BC.If it's there choice to live in urban BC then that's their problem.

No safe supply of said drugs? -- that would eliminate need for naloxne -- isn't that the theory of the geniuses in power? Time to stop this madness -- Zero tolerance.

Studies are beginning to emerge that individuals who have been resuscitated numerous times by naloxone have brains that are seriously damaged by the very substance that is supposed to save them. As trite as it may seem, the bottom line is don't do drugs. If one doesn't kill you, the other will. Now how do we reach our young people that the buzz they feel from the drugs is going to rob them of any meaningful future that they have dreamed of? Giving them a naloxone kit is just feeding them about their perceived invincibility.

Democracies are expensive & inconvenient. However, one of the tenets of a well functioning democracy is the right to strike whether one agrees or disagrees with the union position. Look at the list of countries that do not allow strikes. Much prefer to be on the list of countries wear strikes are allowed. Peace & love.

Not a WASTE. A life saved is someone's son or daughter, a future productive citizen.Especially in the hallowed halls of higher learning.

Coastal LNG shipments a point of pride for Zimmer's riding

That's' rich coming from the guy who blocks his constituents on facebook.You know what the real elephant in the room is that nobody wants to talk about?What’s the ROI on those LNG pipelines over 20 years? I’d wager it’s well under 1:2-an abysmal return by any standard. But hey, who’s even counting, right?Meanwhile, the Conservatives seem to care so little about Canada’s - or our local tech industry - that you won’t find a single mention of it on their own website. Contrast that with infrastructure like nationwide 10 Gbit/s internet, which delivers a proven 1:7 ROI over the same timeframe. To put it in perspective: building citywide 10 Gbit/s service would cost about $70 million - roughly the price of two government-funded parkades.I think next election Bob Zimmer is going to be in for a Huge Surprise.

Unfortunately, as shown by the long history of problems with excessive drinking and dangerous driving, among other things, kids around 18 often lack common sense. (Of course a lot of older people do too.)

So you're saying don't help anybody, if your chosen group is not represented. Nice.

I don’t think people especially parents of teenagers understand that drug use is relatively common amongst groups in high school. Whether they are trying to fit in, feel pressured to do it or take something offered it does happen and it is very real. It is scary and while I was a goody two shoes in high school and throughout my life if I had chosen to everybody knew who to go to for everything from Mary Jane to opium to whatever else was a flavour of the day 40 years on not much has changed. I bet most parents don’t even talk to their kids about it still because it won’t happen to their kids.Reality is always a jolt to the system.
