Prince George getting its third Wendy's location

Ok, these guys have nothing better to do than a ribbon cutting ceremony at a Wendy's? Thanks for making the trip in Keil Giddens.I can’t even believe they had a ceremony…. Who even cares? Tough times and everyone is struggling…. Except for fast food franchises apparently. These places are on the cusp of automating increasing peoples risk of heart disease and eliminating unsightly minimum wage jobs. It’s a golden age for fast food I guess.

PG BIG Clean Teams are cleaning up downtown and helping workers

The downtown clean teams do an amazing job.Unfortunately, street people drop piles of litter without a thought all through the downtown core.I couldn't imagine what it would look like without the clean teams.This is probably the most effective downtown initiative.

Mayor says public safety committee ending due to election proximity

What has changed in downtown safety since Yu has been elected or this council ? I'm not sure of any meaningful changes besides "pig on a lipstick " type changes, and never ending spending on wants. What tax breaks have taken place ? Are city taxes are always going up to what seems like incompetence in balancing budgets. I drove past the aquatic center today at 10am, no vehicles no work being done. Sure seems like poor project management, seems like an audit on efficiency of our city hall staff shoud be done.

Dedicated volunteer talks about the heartbreaking reason she does what she does

I used to experiment with drugs when I wasn’t much younger than Tanner. I tell my kids now, it isn’t worth it. There are too many stories like this, where some young kid, with their whole life ahead of them has their life cut short, because they had the misfortune of getting poisoned and they may not have even been aware. But maybe it never was worth it, even when it was safer. I look back now indifferent. All the joy one experiences while intoxicated is artificial and isn’t real. The people you hang around with, are probably just there to get high. You want to test this? Stop doing drugs and see who still hangs out with you. I think now, I would have been better off perusing real experiences and friendships.I fully agree, that the people distributing this stuff in any capacity, should get life in prison.

Two fires, one hour and a quarter-kilometre apart

The second fire was at Alward Place, a BC Housing/Northern Health place where everyone was evacuated in the middle of the night without the aid of the elevators. Seniors, some in their 90's, had to assemble outside for about an hour. Something needs to be done.

Chamber, DBIA comment on first two months of security camera project

“ Yu said the low participation could mean that the survey results don’t accurately reflect the impact crime has on local businesses.” Yeah, it’s just a mystery… 🤦‍♂️ The businesses downtown are fed up with more useless talk from the politicians, who have no intention of doing anything close to what it takes to bring safety back to our communities…

Milobar says he's BC Tories best chance at forming next government

BC Housing should run Abstinence only facilities, Peter you are on the Ball , this is what should be happening , people need a chance to get off DRUGS and places to go to get off DRUGS. In Prince George we have a large government owned old Motel used to be called the North Star Inn, all kinds of stuff has happen there, It needs to be turned into a drug rehab, NO DRUGS Allowed, how can you get off DRUGS if the people around you are doing Drugs?? Also there is a School a block away.

And thats the way to spend money and get nothing done... A true Prince George philosophy.

It’s horrible. St. Vincent’s should stop serving until they clean up. The sidewalk is littered with garbage when there’s garbage cans right there..

Mayor says public safety committee ending due to election proximity

What a shocker. Our mayor fails to disappoint yet again. Shutting this down due to its proximity to an election just reeks of "I don't want another one of my fails to be top of voters mind." "Yu can do it" actually became "Yu got nothing done"......except for blowing through his expense budgets. Imagine not wanting public safety to become politicized.....what an abysmal failure he has been.

Fast food good for the odd treat. That’s it. If one consumes fast, junk, ultra-processed food regularly, well, don’t complain about our medical system. Don’t know the numbers, but it’s rather obvious that people’s poor diet costs the public health system more dollars than the illegal drugs that the uptight right often rail on about.

Moccasin Flats camping site, council procedures up for final approval

Not too sure what is going on in the minds of staff and city council on this temporary overnight camping site. Did we not just spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on cleaning up and shutting down Moccosin Flats? Any one with half a mind can see this is just opening up another can of worms with this site. Does anyone actually think it will become a 1 night overnight camping site for the city?Good luck getting the local downtown residents out each and every day. I think the funding for clean up this time should come out of the pockets of the decision makers, not from the pockets of the tax payers. We are not an endless source of funds for your poor decisions.

Mayor says public safety committee ending due to election proximity

This sure is a perverse rationale for shutting down the public safety committee. Closing it to avoid “politicization” is contradictory. Public safety is already a political issue, especially heading into an election. Committees are meant to provide transparency, debate, and accountability. Ending it doesn’t remove politics; it simply limits where discussion occurs and who can take part. In effect, it reduces public scrutiny at a time when voters should be hearing competing ideas. Avoiding “grandstanding” shouldn’t come at the expense of open dialogue. This decision appears less about protecting process and more about controlling the narrative. Mayor, you have just politicized it!
