Last camper standing: Why there's one legal resident left at Moccasin Flats

So let me get this straight. If you squat on city property, do illegal acts, cause people in the neighbouring houses stress and anxiety, probably live off welfare on the taxpayers dime, are simply not a productive member of society .. your reward is to get a place to live, free of charge, and get YOUR mess cleaned up, free of charge. But if you are working, productive member of society your reward is to pay for these people? If these people can't function on the street where they are a threat to themselves and others then, if the taxpayers have to pay for them, then it should be in an institution where they cannot come and go at will.

Clare fined for exceeding anonymous campaign donation limit

“did not have any measures in place to prevent the acceptance of these contributions beyond the limit” but not a “deliberate attempt to break the rules.” So if not intentional, then it’s a case of one being completely stunned about how to properly manage one’s finances as a politician. Whatever the case, time for MLA Clare to apologize publicly & then step down.

Your prime minister has over 100 ethics violations in his first year. Why aren’t you screaming for the Portfolio Managers resignation?

Clare fined for exceeding anonymous campaign donation limit

One of the main problems conservatives have is their new propensity to ... look at rules as guidelines. This is seen in Alberta, with Danielle Smith, with the UCP playing loose and fast with the rules, and with the dumpster fire down south. Conservatives used to be the ones that cared about the rules. Once they started losing they became quite comfortable with ignoring the rules. The parties of "law and order".... not really.

We clearly are paying too much property tax if they’re doing stuff like this… I just came back from the lower mainland and PG doesn’t even have traffic compared to there LOL, what a waste of money…

Step down ? Really ? How about the liberal snd NDP stay in the Vancouver area, since they are doing such a great job economically with the province and federal governments. It's been 10 years of liberal policies cant blame anyone but them at this point.

Province strengthens BC Timber Sales

It takes years to get approvals. The government is only allowing a fraction from what the chief forester said should be allowed. The permitting process is a joke, our government has way to many over paid redundant positions. The Provincial and Federal government are not subjects of efficiency.

School bus overturns on Barkerville Highway

Why was the bus on the wrong side of the road???Only the driver knows why.How often do the drivers have to take a driving exam. I'm not talking about a written test.Maybe it should be done before the start of the school season every year...just saying!!!

That was a pathetic act by a pathetic person.

Cash donations. That is sweet. Sure leaves room for corruption in our elections. Most honest political parties will not take cash donations. Shame!

Province strengthens BC Timber Sales

There is no mention of the exportation of raw logs. Will the shipments be stopped? The logs need to remain in BC!!!!!

Province strengthens BC Timber Sales

While I find this news encouraging as I am employed in the forest sector I still have misgivings as the NDP has squandered BCs forest industry big time. Remember the beetle kill the Social Creds were on the way out the NDP came in and instead of listening to industry experts they listened to environmentalists and fringe groups and by the time the NDP decided to do something it was 11 yrs later and too late to help.Not to say industry didnt help matters either all they saw were dollar signs and when the going got tough dropped mills left right and centre without a second thought.Then there are the environmentalists who cause nothing but grief. The list is endless with them.And of course it wouldn’t be complete without the red tape the NDP put up throughout the years taking a process that at one time took just under 2 years to do now takes up to 7 years before the first tree even falls.

Last camper standing: Why there's one legal resident left at Moccasin Flats

Phenomenal! One resident, living in squalor, at the site of multiple shootings and who knows what else and somehow this person is still squatting there. With all of the illegal activity taking place, they can’t arrest them? I guess the plethora of housing options must all be full, otherwise they could just live in one of the trashed apartments or hotels, right? Or does that not meet their expectations? Not allowed to discharge firearms randomly in these other places? The only thing that is more amazing than this person continuing to be a thorn in the side of the city and soaking up, what I can only assume would be a small fortune in tax dollars, is that it has somehow not burnt down like all of the other structures in that location.Social workers checking in multiple times a day, ongoing criminal activity, how many police visits? Meanwhile senior citizens living alone are left to fend for themselves. What a joke

Just looked at some of the related headlines to this story“Teen girl shot at moccasin flats”“Police say latest moccasin flats shooting, the result of careless gun use”“Two injured in shooting, at moccasin flats”I remember another story as well, where people showed up and sieged the trailer, while screaming about their daughter. The trailer picture is either the citizens stock photo for moccasin flats stories, or it has been the site of many disturbances. lolCareless gun use? It’s careless to let these people even have firearms! Bloody ridiculous.

Prince George to receive $50k to host World Cup party

Guess if the BC NDP are giving out dollars might as well accept it. However, I find it questionable. We’re told moneys spent will pay off in future tourism. Not sure about that. How can that even be measured? It can’t. Creative accounting. Expo 86, The 2010 Olympics, World Cup 2026. Taxpayers money could have been spent better. Where do most of our foreign tourists come from? The USA. Pay for some tourism commercials during Superbowl or March Madness. At least we know the $ spent & it’s not a black hole that can’t be measured. Not a Royal Family fan, but don’t mind taxpayers money spent for their visits. It’s like a commercial for Canada when news stories are beamed over the world. Again, dollars easily tracked. WC money? WC security dollars? Verges on the obscene. Would much prefer those $ put towards filling the bellies of school aged children with breakfast / lunch programs. That’s better for our economy than rolling out the red carpet for FIFA officials.

It's some guy named Johnny, and he's incredibly entitled and receives copious amounts of support from bleeding hearts. There is zero reason, other than entitlement and lack of accountability, why he cannot accept other shelter while everyone else can.

I’m so glad our tax money is used for things like this (regardless what level)… Working people living in campers and this is what they’re doing with our money?… 🇨🇦 💀

Doesn't drive BC have this information readily available? I do not believe setting something like a local traffic disruption map is where any of the cities resources should be going right now.
