The less handguns in society the better.

Perhaps the Honourable Anne Kang should get involved and take a look at the hierarchy of BCLA, perhaps wake them up to the fact that there are teams of kids in B.C. who aren't allowed to play in the southern interior sand box.BCLA should be ashamed of themselves.

So how much more than the 3% annual wage increase mandated by the NDP did the 55,000 nurses get ?And any increase greater than 3% will also now be paid to the 400,000 other public union member who had already previously settled.Two things are guaranteed by the BCNU's selfish quest of greed.First, all 55,000 nurses will vote NDP in the next election.Two, the Acute Care Tower at UHNBC will be axed in next years budget due to the cost of the BCNU's demands.Thank you Nurses.

There is zero science behind your comment. Science and statistics actually contradict you.

And what would you have? How do you negotiate in good faith with someone the likes of what they have down south? Or would you just simply get a deal done no matter how bad it was for most of Canada as long as the big voter base is convinced you are doing something good? Even though I am conservative and voted conservative, I believe we have the right guy at the helm in this political climate we find ourselves in. And don't be naive if you think it was all because of the orange guys dislike of the former Prime Minister.

Unfortunately all these "calls for action " amount to photo ops and grand standing. Nothing gets done and politicians aren't bothered. Their income doesnt change, their way of life stays the same. Time and time again nothing gets done unless the person at top stands to gain something from it. None of the politicians really have accountability or suffer from their provincial decline. Maybe politicians wages and income should be directly tied to their provincial and federal GDP growth. Same with inflation. The worse the economy gets the more they suffer as well.

There must be an election coming up.They do this every time.We vote for them again and again with the same results. Always blaming the other party, always during an election. We vote for them again and nothing changes. If our leaders can't admit when they are wrong, they will just keep making the same mistakes. This town has been like this since the 80's, that I've noticed. Some of us made a lot of money selling off the resources instead of processing, selling off our businesses to our competitors and watching them close our mills one by one.But some of you gained a lot of wealth, while your community suffered. It's time for a change, if we want to keep this town alive.

As always you believe something that just can’t bear any real scrutiny. How many crimes are committed by lawful gun owners and registered fire arms? Licensed gun owners, with lawfully obtained firearms seldom carry out crimes. And the most ridiculous thing you believe, is that not having access to fire arms, will somehow deter people from committing crimes. So what about knives? Surly the less knives there are in society, the better off we will be. Baseball bats as well, perhaps?All these pathetic bans amount too, is politicians trying to appease their urban constituents with policy that is ineffective, but sounds nice. Problem is, all of this gun violence in Toronto, is being carried out by criminals, using illegal firearms and banning Tim from owning a pistol he takes to the range on Sunday, will do nothing to stop gun crime. It’s just an empty attempt, that pleases people like you, while simultaneously accomplishing nothing.

My question is why are you guys suddenly coming out of the woodwork now? We needed help 10 years ago and all we got were empty promises and words that did nothing. It seems like every time a mill closure happens nothing is said or done until after the fact. Then we get help needed for retraining or schooling.It would be nice if you guys actually spoke up before mill closures are announced. Even though you’re the official opposition party you carry some clout yet generally speaking all we get is silence until it’s too late.It’s true I heavy dislike the NDP as they have done little to help this province other than mire it in red tape but you as the opposition sat pretty quietly as we sink into oblivion. Is it any wonder why we rarely listen to politicians as we hear a lot of words but little action. Be proactive for a change.

That is nice that the center will be open to 70 Mile House residents, but would it not be more convenient for the residents to go to Kamloops as it is much closer for them to evacuate to.

Respectfully Mr.Zimmer, I would like to know when and where Prime Minister Mark Carney made the statement, (‘promised’) and I quote from the article “Donald Trump’s the problem and I’m going to be the solution.” ?

what a pile of doofuses making this decision - why even risk the stupidity of people when the fire fighting is spread so thin down south? My god, it's as if they want the fires, maybe the conspiracy wingnuts are right ?

Highly doubt all workers will vote NDP just because of a contract agreement. And there won’t be an increase to other government unions that signed a deal previously.. where do you come up with this rage bait?

Until they tell us where funds have gone in the past I will not be supporting the Kodiaks football.
