Snowfall warning issued for Prince George
710 cm, horrible, it comes all the way up to about your ankles.... don't believe me measure it...and think of all the money council can save on snow removal... you can bet their roads will be sparkling clean and so will CN center so they can have a hockey game and Cougar fans don't get showy shoes

Prince George to host new eight-officer organized crime police unit
21All this is pretty much lipstick on a pig unless the courts put these people away for long periods of time. 15 years no parole for the first offence 25 years for the second offence. Third offence you do not return. Plain and simple. We're not looking for a rehiblitatiln here. We're just looking to get rid of the problem plain and simple. 90 percent of people don't give a hoot if you get rehibilitated. They just want their kids to come home. They want safety in our communities. We can build more jails. We have the technology. We can find people to staff them.

17Bear spray should be a permitted method of self defence against criminals. Those that use it like they did in this case should be locked up.

CNC faculty say layoffs could be coming
13Just like any other business, when business gets slow layoffs are a reality. In this case the liberals are quietly cutting the number of international students entering Canada. Quietly because they know they screwed up with excessive numbers but can’t let taxpayers know they screwed up. That would be admitting they were wrong.

Council rejects additional funding for seniors' centres
15So, instead of giving it to the seniors now (well a few weeks away after all the unnecessary bureaucratic red tape.) We are now spending $5000 of it, to host yet another useless PR event were photo OP Sampson can look like he cares about seniors? This was one of few motions Mayor Yu put forward that would actually make a difference here and now. It should go without saying that they look for ways to support the seniors centers down the road and long term and not require a $5000 expense of money they could be using now, instead for refreshments and photo OPs and possibly yet another committee to discuss the various possibilities of helping the seniors centers? Vote accordingly next year people....

14Thanks for paying taxes all your life, sorry your money goes to city raises and the homeless who steal from you. What a disgusting shame. Please remember this come next election, start voting people!

Hope and Healing Network: Public safety committee pitched on non-profit coalition
13Drug Addiction can happen in any Family , there needs to be safe places for people to go for help , that are DRUG free. The former North Star Inn on Victoria St. owned by TAX PAYERS , just had a DRUG bust. IS there security? is there cameras ? Was the Staff not aware of what was going on? Who is in charge of this shelter? This needs to be looked into.

14So money to watch the World Cup but not to help out seniors who have paid city taxes for decades ? I thought one of mayor and councils mandates where to make PG senior friendly .. more taxes but nothing for the seniors ? Interesting

14I can’t wait for the next civic elections. I have never been so disappointed or , in some cases downright disgusted, by the decision making of this council. Five thousand dollars to have a meeting is nothing apparently - while $17,000.00 (basically only 3 times that) cannot be allocated to help 5 different seniors centres make it through their fiscal year. Unbelievable. Of course look for better solutions for the future. They need help now - many seniors rely on these centres. Especially in these difficult times.

CNC faculty say layoffs could be coming
10Part of the community?! The faculty association is as guilty management. They both sold out the community to cash in on big tuition from foreigners. Note that that gravy train has dried up their claiming they care about the community. Please. The fact of the matter is PG cannot support 2 institutions of higher learning. Time to cut the fat.

CNC faculty say layoffs could be coming
9The Faculty Association is a union and its members are only concerned about losing their high-paying jobs.Fewer students and decreased revenues means cutbacks. That's economic reality.Welcome to the real world, it's much different than the ivory tower existence you've all been living in.

Prince George to host new eight-officer organized crime police unit
11That's a very good step but it should have happened years ago.Watch Mark Kelley's (CBC Fifth Estate) investigative reporting on what's happening in Dawson Creek. It's an eye-opener as to the level of organized crime in the North.

Council considers next steps for downtown business safety
13Why should the businesses have to fund this, they are the victims here. They already face soaring insurance rates to cover break-ins and broken windows.That is if they can even get insurance or face deductibles so high it makes coverage pointless. The risk arson leaves them with many a sleepless nightSome customers are avoiding downtown and who could blame them?Many are struggling just to stay afloat as it isThe solution lies at the doors of the courthouse. People being released before the ink is dry on the charging documents must end. Judges have to start locking up people who breach release conditions.Getting more probation after breaching probation is a joke! Repeat offenders must be barred from downtown or from Prince George entirely if they come from elsewherePouring more and more money into policing the CBD is futile if those causing the problem are not held to account.

Police find drugs in search of Victoria Street hotel
11This is not a Hotel , it's a TAX PAYER owned shelter bordering on residential and a school a block away. How safe is the area around this shelter , housing people from who knows where , with who knows what, public safety should be NO 1 . Drugs of any kind should not be allowed in this shelter , for the safety of the residents . How much is it costing TAX PAYERS to run this place , with food , staff, and cleaning? The STAFF should have been on this , who is in charge? of this MONEY PIT. This needs to be looked into by our City Council and our Provincial Govt.
