I fear this case is being intentionally drawn out in the hopes of a dismissal.

End of the day Titchener will spend some time in the pokey. It is standard practice for time spent in custody prior to sentencing to be credited two for one.In essence all these delays are shortening the time he will spend i jail. So it is advantageous for the defendant and his council to drag things out as long as possible.Judges must stop delaying cases moving forward on the lamest excuses.This is at least the second time that Rivard has failed to show up. Why does the judge let him get away with that?If adjournments are caused by actions of the accused or his lawyer then the 2 for 1 credit should be thrown out the window or an equal amount of time tacked on to his sentence

Another delay in CrossRoads arson case

A classic example of the justice system going to extremes to accommodate the alleged perpetrator with all the due process in the world.It's reassuring to see Justice Church do her job and let the alleged arsonist and his counsel set the court's schedule.That's one tough judge, as tough as a marshmallow.

Owner facing animal cruelty charges after dog rescued

OMG!! That chain looks like it was intentionally put through the skin of Birdie's neck. The monster who did this should absolutely be charged. I just wish that the penalties for this kind of animal torture were much more severe.

Lawyers know he’s guilty. Trying to rack up time served at 1.5X.

Another delay in CrossRoads arson case

It is freakishly beginning to look that way. I mean, the clock has already started ticking. He has been allocated 30 months - being a Supreme Court case - so we are down to 28 months now. Move it or lose it, guys.

Imagine paying vast amounts of money for property, being charged never-ending taxes on it, and then requiring complete micromanagement by various levels of government to do anything on that property you supposedly “own”… 🤡 🇨🇦

Owner facing animal cruelty charges after dog rescued

Having a golden myself I think this is sickening that the owner could do this to that poor dog. They are a people pleaser, very affectionate, and loyal breed that only want attention and love in return. Names of these owners that do this should be known once charges are applied, so that they can never own a dog again. Just my humble opinion.

Harsher penalties for animal cruelty convictions are long overdue.

There should be harsh consequences for people who treat animals this way, maybe some jail time as a deterrent for other would be abusers.

Women working for SD57 make 18 cents an hour less than men: Pay report

Another toothless law. The Pay Transparency Act is a prime example of how our legislators waste time and taxpayers’ money.Designed to avoid offending anyone over gender identity, it actually prevents employers from using the gender data they already have. The result is a reporting system so restricted that the numbers it produces are incomplete, inaccurate, and essentially useless — a self-defeating piece of legislation.

Neighbours of new Hart daycare concerned

This is the most ridiculous list of complaints. A guy doesn't think he can smoke weed during the day? Someone's dog might bark? A street that has a little hill will make people forget how to drive?

BC Green Party leader joins Prince George protest against old-growth logging

What they should be protesting is people having children. More people, more harm to the environment. Hard for them to understand, but we make lumber, we trade lumber for things we need like food. You want to keep those trees standing until they fall down, then find a way to feed everyone without resource extraction.

Families need daycares. Im surprised NIMBYs came out for this.

Prince George company takes safety steps after WorkSafeBC fine

Interesting in that it's usually people driving without due care and attention that are the biggest risk to the safety of road flaggers and not their own employer putting them in harms way.Hopefully with this financial penalty, the employer will learn to do better for its employees.Everyone deserves to go home safely and alive after their work is done for the day.

Carney gives Prince George-Terrace transmission line a boost

Or you could say its the feds returning some of our money back to BC for a BC project. But no matter, it would go ahead regardless of Carney and the liberals anyways, so no big news here. The environmental assessments have been done, the FN are on board that are the recognized representatives of their people, so all BC really got was a few bucks to try to make the liberals look like they are doing something proactive.

One wonders if any of the “experts” have read any books on sentencing or the criminal justice system? Or spent any time watching first appearance provincial court? Easy to be an “expert” when one is wilfully blind. Probably consumers of Fox, Rebel, True North, etc.
