Remunerations committee changes course on council pay raises after backlash
25Kudos to the committee for finally reading the room right and now not wanting anything more to do with this.Scapegoat committees like this are set up by weak and spineless elected politicians to do their dirty work and bear the brunt of public opposition and did Mothus and company ever receive that.Shame on the cowards that sit on council and shame on the weak and cowardly Mayor.If you want a pay hike, then organize a town hall at CN Centre to plead your case in person to your adoring public.And as for the idea of meeting stipends do not end up like MetroVancouver where attendees get paid over $ 500 per meeting and double that if the meeting goes over time....bad idea.I remember when councillors made $ 5000 a year and ran for office to make a difference.Now they're in it for the money and don't care what difference they make.

21Also, Duscherer's idea of tieing pay raises to the provincial MLA pay structure is just dumb.The Province has ballooning deficit and debt and government/public union pay increases are a big part of that problem.Do not bring dumb provincial government guidelines and practices over to municipal governments.

25Yes they did expect the scrutiny. Your published comments by Jen Higham support. She cites social media scrutiny as being a reason council needs raises. Thank goodbess for public accountability. I also want to state if someone needs to fear social media backlash, a public seat isn't the space for them!

Snowfall warning issued for Prince George
710 cm, horrible, it comes all the way up to about your ankles.... don't believe me measure it...and think of all the money council can save on snow removal... you can bet their roads will be sparkling clean and so will CN center so they can have a hockey game and Cougar fans don't get showy shoes

21i bet council's pay raise happens, and snow budget is reduced and rather than refurbish the pool a replacement l is built....

Prince George to host new eight-officer organized crime police unit
21All this is pretty much lipstick on a pig unless the courts put these people away for long periods of time. 15 years no parole for the first offence 25 years for the second offence. Third offence you do not return. Plain and simple. We're not looking for a rehiblitatiln here. We're just looking to get rid of the problem plain and simple. 90 percent of people don't give a hoot if you get rehibilitated. They just want their kids to come home. They want safety in our communities. We can build more jails. We have the technology. We can find people to staff them.

RCMP investigating after bear spray used at Pine Centre Mall
17Bear spray should be a permitted method of self defence against criminals. Those that use it like they did in this case should be locked up.

CNC and Northern Health warn of campus measles exposure
10It’s everyone’s, with the exception of the incredibly rare medical reason, moral obligation to get the vaccines easily available to protect themselves & others along with reducing costs to our healthcare system. Flu, mmr, shingles, covid, etc. All are very effective. Trust science; not Q-anon.

CNC faculty say layoffs could be coming
13Just like any other business, when business gets slow layoffs are a reality. In this case the liberals are quietly cutting the number of international students entering Canada. Quietly because they know they screwed up with excessive numbers but can’t let taxpayers know they screwed up. That would be admitting they were wrong.

14so as long as they pretend to be working harder they get the pay raise...make perfect sensewas there any doubt they would get the raise... we have a lot of pretenders

1I’m actually on the other side of this… I think city council members should be paid more, so that maybe it can be a real job and not just a part time hobby like the current pay suggests… maybe if the pay was enough, it would attract people who know what they’re doing and want to make a positive difference…

Other seniors centres surprised by exclusion from mayor's funding plan
9Too much favouritism to the Brunswick Senior Centre. This unfair treatment and cronyism leads to resentment and fosters bad relationships. Be fair to all the senior centres and share the funds. The Mayor is SUPPOSED to support all equally.

10Part of the community?! The faculty association is as guilty management. They both sold out the community to cash in on big tuition from foreigners. Note that that gravy train has dried up their claiming they care about the community. Please. The fact of the matter is PG cannot support 2 institutions of higher learning. Time to cut the fat.

CNC faculty say layoffs could be coming
9The Faculty Association is a union and its members are only concerned about losing their high-paying jobs.Fewer students and decreased revenues means cutbacks. That's economic reality.Welcome to the real world, it's much different than the ivory tower existence you've all been living in.

Prince George to host new eight-officer organized crime police unit
11That's a very good step but it should have happened years ago.Watch Mark Kelley's (CBC Fifth Estate) investigative reporting on what's happening in Dawson Creek. It's an eye-opener as to the level of organized crime in the North.

Council considers next steps for downtown business safety
13Why should the businesses have to fund this, they are the victims here. They already face soaring insurance rates to cover break-ins and broken windows.That is if they can even get insurance or face deductibles so high it makes coverage pointless. The risk arson leaves them with many a sleepless nightSome customers are avoiding downtown and who could blame them?Many are struggling just to stay afloat as it isThe solution lies at the doors of the courthouse. People being released before the ink is dry on the charging documents must end. Judges have to start locking up people who breach release conditions.Getting more probation after breaching probation is a joke! Repeat offenders must be barred from downtown or from Prince George entirely if they come from elsewherePouring more and more money into policing the CBD is futile if those causing the problem are not held to account.

Hope and Healing Network: Public safety committee pitched on non-profit coalition
11Drug Addiction can happen in any Family , there needs to be safe places for people to go for help , that are DRUG free. The former North Star Inn on Victoria St. owned by TAX PAYERS , just had a DRUG bust. IS there security? is there cameras ? Was the Staff not aware of what was going on? Who is in charge of this shelter? This needs to be looked into.
