I fear this case is being intentionally drawn out in the hopes of a dismissal.

End of the day Titchener will spend some time in the pokey. It is standard practice for time spent in custody prior to sentencing to be credited two for one.In essence all these delays are shortening the time he will spend i jail. So it is advantageous for the defendant and his council to drag things out as long as possible.Judges must stop delaying cases moving forward on the lamest excuses.This is at least the second time that Rivard has failed to show up. Why does the judge let him get away with that?If adjournments are caused by actions of the accused or his lawyer then the 2 for 1 credit should be thrown out the window or an equal amount of time tacked on to his sentence

Another delay in CrossRoads arson case

A classic example of the justice system going to extremes to accommodate the alleged perpetrator with all the due process in the world.It's reassuring to see Justice Church do her job and let the alleged arsonist and his counsel set the court's schedule.That's one tough judge, as tough as a marshmallow.

Lawyers know he’s guilty. Trying to rack up time served at 1.5X.

Another delay in CrossRoads arson case

It is freakishly beginning to look that way. I mean, the clock has already started ticking. He has been allocated 30 months - being a Supreme Court case - so we are down to 28 months now. Move it or lose it, guys.

Mayor says he's still thinking about whether to run for another term

PRINCE GEORGE is not Montreal...you want this place to grow...stop the hand outs and use the taxes that are paid to the city and you for convoluted illusions of PG Grandeur. People are losing their jobs, money and safety in PG. Why don't you start caring about the people in PG instead of Montreal or Hong Kong.

Salveo Clinic to close permanently due to doctor shortage

That's too bad. It was a great clinic in a great location.Youre taking your life into your hands waiting in line at the ghetto slum parkwood place clinic, headquarters central for every downtown PG homeless criminal.

There should be at least 3 walk in clinics in town, one each in the Hart, College Heights, and downtown.

Mayor says he's still thinking about whether to run for another term

I can remember in 1970 during the boom years of PG they predicted the city's population would be 100,000 by the year 2000.The Citizen, at the time, was published with a line underneath its front page banner proclaiming PG " the Spruce Capital of the World " and " B.C.'s third largest city ".Heady days so very long ago that seem like a dream long gone.The dream is over.

Mayor says he's still thinking about whether to run for another term

Despite good intentions, has Mayor Yu become just another cog in City Hall’s hamster wheel? Once elected, a mayor owes the community active leadership and accountability. Prince George needs a proactive mayor, not one who speaks only when prompted or through formal channels. We rarely hear from Mayor Yu directly. A modern city deserves steady, independent updates, not sound bites solely filtered through official channels. We at least deserve brief bi-weekly posts and fuller monthly reports. A mayor should shape the narrative, demand transparency, and address challenges openly.Mayor, use your social media. Use your website. This isn’t about being disruptive; it’s about forging your own path. Residents need to know what’s happening behind the scenes, including the pushback. Leadership requires visibility, not silence. It’s not too late to step up, own the role, and be the communicator Prince George needs. Your audience is us, not councillors and city hall dignities.

Salveo Clinic to close permanently due to doctor shortage

First it was “you can’t get a family doctor anymore, you’ll have to use walk in clinics” and now it’s becoming “you can’t use a walk in clinic anymore, you’ll have to use the emergency room”… guess what comes after that?… 💀

Women working for SD57 make 18 cents an hour less than men: Pay report

Another toothless law. The Pay Transparency Act is a prime example of how our legislators waste time and taxpayers’ money.Designed to avoid offending anyone over gender identity, it actually prevents employers from using the gender data they already have. The result is a reporting system so restricted that the numbers it produces are incomplete, inaccurate, and essentially useless — a self-defeating piece of legislation.

MLA says province has to meet feds on major projects

The B.C. NDP has to pander to their extremist voters who want to give up private property ownership in the name of “reconciliation” and to sacrifice the next generation to pretended that they’re “saving the planet”. If we continue the B.C. NDP’s vision for B.C., this will soon be a place to flee from. That’s not even hyperbole at this point…

MLA says province has to meet feds on major projects

Before 1990, major projects got built because the governments didn't have to pander to countless indigenous groups which now roadblock practically every planned project.It's ridiculous and a problem of the governments (past and present) own making who decided it was right to pander and listen to these groups.

BC Green Party leader joins Prince George protest against old-growth logging

What they should be protesting is people having children. More people, more harm to the environment. Hard for them to understand, but we make lumber, we trade lumber for things we need like food. You want to keep those trees standing until they fall down, then find a way to feed everyone without resource extraction.

Committee considers alternative pay raise structure for city council

Mothus says " That's why CEO's make money nobody can understand because they're going to make the company successful ".The City of PG pays its administrative CEO, Walter Babicz, $ 300,000 a year and did likewise for his predecessor, Kathleen Soltis.Look around you Mr. Mothus, where's the economic success in PG ? And don't point to some mine 400 miles away because that's not PG.Mr. Mothus sounds like a defender of city council compensation and not some arms length neutral objective committee member.Hope you earn a tax break on your business city property for your efforts.

Salveo Clinic to close permanently due to doctor shortage

Lots to be concerned with regarding our public medical system. Often a lot of outrage from the “usual suspects” about hard drugs & the associated costs. What about items that are much more of a drain on our public health: alcohol, processed foods, tobacco, refined sugars, etc. There would be a lot more money to hire doctors & open medical clinics if people chose a healthy way of life. People are complicated & many with difficult circumstances which can lead to understandable costs. However, many others are somewhat blameworthy regarding everyday pressures that exist in our medical system. Perhaps many of us should focus on our behaviour & how changing one’s behaviour may reduce strain on the medical system. Unfortunately, the right prefer to blame big bad gov’t & politicians than to look in the mirror.
