BCGEU reaches tentative agreement with provincial government
22......and the government caved....Actually not.This eight week performance charade was put on by the BCGEU in collusion with the NDP to portray to the public the illusion that they were at odds with the NDP.....which they never have been.In the end, the BCGEU come out on top driving the province further into deficit and debt.That's the socialist way. That's the NDP way. That's " real progress " from Paul Finch.Thanks for the tax increase.

24The government of B.C. produces zero resources and zero wealth, and yet has many thousands of employees. If all they do is to continue to block, stifle, and cancel development, then we can expect inflation and the degradation of the quality of life here to continue and even accelerate. Socialists don’t seem to understand that you can’t eat money. You can’t build a house or drive a car with money. You have to actually produce the materials and grow and transport the food. This is why socialist countries are known for massive, runaway inflation: there answer to everything is more free money.

25Premier Eby is weak. He needs to learn how to wear pants just like Premier Danielle Smith in Alberta.The BCGEU should have been legislated back to work just like the Alberta teachers.Unfortunately, for the BC taxpayer, Eby is the BCGEU's lapdog.

24no matter what you get guys you have lost 8 weeks of wages you will never see...... your union head got their full pay though, no days outside on the cold or wet for them either, that could be why it took 8 weeks, no big hurry to get things done....

22Congrats on an agreement finally.I bet there are many anti union people already chomping at the bit and making snide comments but unions serve a purpose and without unions how many of you would have good paying jobs, decent working hours, paid time off, vacations, pensions, good standard of living and the list goes on. Without unions how many of these things would you have I garantee decent working hours and good pay would be non existent as would vacations and good standard of living.Deny it all you want but without unions employers would not be held accountable for their actions.Good on you BCGEU

19What an absolute joke. Get ready for the next t round of inflation. These union workers need to take some economics classes.

15I see, give them what they want but they still won't go back to work because some other childish people don't want to work.... typical public non-servants.

Aquatic Centre to close for two years of renovations on Jan. 1
18They’re planning to charge us an insane, special fee for the water that runs off our driveways but include things like this in the general operating budget for the city? Governments at all levels in this country treat the tax payer like they own their lives… property taxes are going to continue to skyrocket under this type of mismanagement. The city is a literal circus, and you and I are being forced to pay for it… 🤡 🇨🇦 Ever watch parks and rec? At least Tom Haverford left his job at the city to start his ill-conceived company, “Entertainment 720”… this government does it with your tax money.

18Leadership from the Federal Government is a joke, same as the provincial government. If there isn’t a change in Government, it will only get worse.

New Tourism PG executive director runs on 'default optimism'
15congratulationsquestio How long before the yoyos tell you to ruin mr pg and you will?at least leave it on one of the 4 corners it is on now....putting him down town will just give the streeties something else to destroy and very few people are going to go down there to see him, and definitely not the second time...

12A great fit for the job because he has always been an enthusiastic proponent of P.G..Tough times at Brink where he was previously employed so it's a wise move to find greener pastures and a job that's more conducive to his marketing abilities.Added bonus he doesn't have to look at walls filled with John Brink photos or listen to his rags to riches story ad nauseum anymore. Priceless.greener pastures

16If thr BC NDP cant figure out the forestry issues PG will become a shell of a city. If the sawmills ,pulpmills ,and secondary processing mills around town close then a lot of other businesses will go down as well. Prince George is a forestry and CN hub. Our tourism doesn't bring big name bands like other small towns, our hockey teams seem to be on brink of wanting to leave every other year. Our taxes keep going up , we keep building and promoting downtown without solving the vagrant issue. Please dont have rose colored glasses and ignore the reality.

Northern Health reports 226 measles cases to date
14“263 of these cases have occurred in people who were unimmunized” Mind boggling. Many prioritize detailing their lift kitted pickup rather than one’s health. Vaccines work. People who criticize the medical system but do not get available vaccines have no credibility. Full stop. Peace & love.

17Bottom line is, house cats are destructive in great numbers and when they roam freely, they cause problems. No responsible dog owner would allow their dog to roam freely in the city, for a whole host of reasons, why would a cat be any different?They kill birds indiscriminately, the #2 in people gardens and occasionally wander into the wrong yard and are trapped, or unfortunately ripped apart by dogs. Do the responsible thing and keep your cat indoors.
