Nurses begin job action after strike deadline passes
12Such a farce.No matter how contentious the strike action and the eventual outcome you can be guaranteed that the BCNU and all of the other provincial public sector unions will instruct their thousands and thousands of union members to vote NDP in the next election.Hypocrites. Go cry a river BCNU and let your river fill the ocean of deficit and debt your NDP masters have created.Thank you BCNU, for your contribution to increased taxes.

Council considers letting performers smoke onstage
8Wow, and here I thought open flame or incendiaries of any sort onstage, or backstage was a serious no-no, mostly for safety reasons. Did council consult its Fire safety officer? My family have been apart of the theatrical scene in the city for over forty years and never once have we even considered lobbying to allow smoking on stage in a show. This issue and council’s attention to is the height of absurdity. In one quick discussion and subsequent decision, the City of Prince George has undermined a generation’s worth of anti smoking policy and education. Smoking is not a healthy model. We have banned indoor smoking, haven’t we? We hide smokes behind curtains in retail stores, don’t we? Suddenly, it’s ok to smoke indoors, in front of children? This further illustrates why municipal councils should probably restrict discussions to business directly under its purview. Bylaws to ban smoking? Sure. Bylaws to restrict unsafe behaviour on City property. Sure. World peace? Nope.

Too close for comfort: City error has neighbours upset about new deck
9The City should cover the cost to remove the foundation and replace it in the correct location that meets the set-back requirements. Whoever approved this permit was asleep at the wheel and needs a wake up call! This is the very most basic check-point in approving a permit! The developer should bare some responsibility as well. They should know better than to even submit an application that does not meet the basic set-back requirements, but ultimately- the city is responsible. Not fair for the neighborhood to suffer the consequences of the professional’s negligence or dereliction of duty!

3“Volunteerism and community engagement.”Yep, if all of us followed that credo so many problems that plague society would certainly improve. But hey, it’s a lot easier to doom-scroll, watch sports, & point fingers while complaining in the comments section.

7Simple...City messed up. They need to partially reimburse the developer. I do not believe full compensation should be provided since the developer made a mistake by not being familiar with rules.

5As you complain in the comment section, ha ha haWhile volunteering is benevolent and can enrich society morally and culturally, you will never volunteer your way to utopia, because too many people seek to take advantage of other’s generosity and exploit it. I would wager there is more good will, social safety and outreach in this country today, than at any other time in its history. Is it helping? Or is it just contributing to a culture of sloth and entitlement? I think you should be careful how you invest your time and energy, make sure you’re channeling it into ventures that have fruitful outcomes. Some people give until they have nothing left, while others take as much as they can. I donate my time and money to causes I believe are worthy and there is such a thing as a lost cause.

3Man made climate change is real and increases the likelihood of a heat dome occurring again. NASA scientists, The World Meteorological Association, & virtually 99% of legitimate science organizations state the same. Best to be prepared & informed. Thank you Dr Bonnie, your team, & all healthcare professionals who educate & respond in heat domes & other weather events. Of course there is the tinfoil hat wearing contingent who figure it’s all a govt conspiracy & the world is shaped like a burrito. Unlikely those types will be mistaken for members of MENSA.

3Much like forest fires, cold snaps, earthquakes, power outages, etc a heat dome could occur once again. Best to learn from the past, be informed & be prepared. “What has the heat dome got to do with the weather now in 2026?” Although, not sure anyone can penetrate that logic.

City staff say Aquatic Centre renos remain on time, on budget
6The question remains, what was done during yearly pool maintenance closures?The Four Seasons Pool was built, closed for yearly maintenance and ultimately demolished within my lifetime. I must seriously question the quality of work being done on civic projects, with staggering prices to build and supposedly maintain, only to write them off or, in the case of the Aquatic Centre, renovate at a price not far off the original construction cost.I remain unimpressed with the quality of oversight and management from City Council and wait to see how fellow citizens feel when we put pencil to ballot in this fall's civic election. Familiarize yourself with the overall voting record of the current council and avoid being drawn into voting on name recognition alone, excellent past candidates were eliminated in part due to people voting on name recognition and perhaps little knowledge of their actual performance in whatever field that recognition was generated. Research before voting, PLEASE!

Four problem properties are now off the city's radar
5Well done city hall 4 properties!!! At this rate by the year 2300 the city will have finally dealt with all the problem homes in Prince George, Drive down any street in lower College Heights and you can point out every rental home. They look like a dump, total disrepair, grass at least 2 feet high, fences broken and falling over, siding hanging by a thread, junk in the driveways, bringing down the value of every well kept home on the street. It’s not just College Heights, it’s in every neighbourhood in this town except for the exclusive ones. You want to pat yourself on the back, how about finding the slumlords that own these rentals and make them clean up the mess or fine them 10,000, instead of raising our taxes every single year.
