Northern Health issues measles warning for Prince George
17As the medical profession has long predicted, the fallout is now beginning. Unfortunately, it is the younger generation who will bear the brunt of the impact from decisions made by their parents. No doubt many will later point fingers and expect medical solutions to problems created by declining immunization rates. Yes, vaccines can cause adverse reactions, including severe outcomes, but these occur at a rate of roughly 1 per million people vaccinated. In contrast, measles causes serious complications in about 1 in 1,000 cases, and death in about 1 in 1,000 infections in Canada (far higher in low-income nations). The question is: do we accept the extremely rare risks associated with vaccinations, or the far greater risks posed by widespread infection? For the current generation, the genie is already out of the bottle — through no fault of their own.

Mayor's engineering association disciplinary hearing delayed again
16Speaking of geotechnical engineers, what were the repercussions for the geotechnical engineers who originally planned the slope stability for Site C ?When that slope fractured millions were spent to rectify the error.Was the association as hard on those engineers as they are on Yu for building a garden wall ?

Northern Health board wraps up 2025, looks ahead to 2026
15One thing there is no shortage of is vice-presidents.There are five health authorities in B.C. with a grand total of 63 vice-presidents.NH has ten.Each VP makes at least $ 300,000 a year with annual increases.Time will tell if Health Minister Osbourne follows through with her promise to reduce executive administration in all five health authorities.63 vice-presidents is just plain stupid and a colossal waste of tax dollars.

Hunter sues BC Conservation Officer Service, government for defamation
13Regardless of some technical loophole, you poached and broke the law. You don't deserve to have this erroneous case even go to trial.

Prince George SAR helps find lost snowmobiler
9I hope the SAR teams had a talk with the otter members of the group. Rule of thumb - look out for each other - snowmobiling, hiking, etc. Becoming separated from the group? Get it together. It’s not rocket science. Thank you SAR teams. Amazing people.

MLA Rosalyn Bird appointed new caucus whip for BC Conservatives
7Great stuff ! Can't wait for the Conservatives to lead the charge in undoing and repealing DRIPA, the NDP's failed fiaso piece of legislation that is ruining B.C..B.C. is the only region in the world that actually listens to and abides by UNDRIP.A silly policy drawn up by the goofballs at the UN.

Committee recommends $15.6K annual pay boost for councillors, $8.2K more for mayor
12Mr. Mothus I know you help people with their finances and are a popular member of the city, but the retirees, people on disability, etc. that have owned homes for years simply cannot afford this. I don't know if you realize that their are people out there such as this in our city. Not to mention the forest industry has tanked and there has been little to replace it. Most of the good paying jobs here are government workers, who are paid with taxpayer dollars. Private industry has dried up in this immediate area and anything to replace it will take years to come to fruition. One has to look at the big picture when making these kinds of decisions. Some people work two or three jobs and may make what you suggest a council member should make.

Committee recommends $15.6K annual pay boost for councillors, $8.2K more for mayor
11In whose mind is a 37% pay bump for a part time position a sane idea?Add to this that the amount is more than a large chunk of the population makes working full time and you have a group out of touch with reality. Then consider that this is the council at least in part that oversaw and allowed the parking garage fiasco and apparently failed to maintain the Aquatic Centre necessitating repairs in an amount close to the original building costs and it is stunning that anyone has the gall to suggest this !Elected representatives have little chance of making everyone happy and will face criticism for their performance and that is part of the job. If they face treatment that is unacceptable that needs to be addressed across the board and Not by giving them more money for hurt feelings. Perhaps begin by ignoring unmoderated media where virtually anything goes. Another idea is examining whether criticism actually has foundation in reality and if you need to reassess your position.

Remunerations committee changes course on council pay raises after backlash
9Also, Duscherer's idea of tieing pay raises to the provincial MLA pay structure is just dumb.The Province has ballooning deficit and debt and government/public union pay increases are a big part of that problem.Do not bring dumb provincial government guidelines and practices over to municipal governments.
