Nurses begin job action after strike deadline passes

Such 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.

What a financial relief for Eby.Now he can return his focus to bloat the public service even more bloated than its bloated self right now and plunge the provincial deficit and debt even further into the deep abyss.

"We believe in building economic resilience through revenue generation". To bad our governments don't understand that basic concept!!

“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.

More scary climate statements to try and get us to swallow the climate catastrophe scenario.

Cities built out of concrete and pavement creat a heat island effect raising the temperature higher than rural lands.

Why are the fire works canceled lately ? The city spends money on other various frivolous things that are over budget.

As 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.

What has the heat dome got to do with the weather now in 2026? Have you even been outside?

Wow-6437 KM in 70 short days.It must be nice to be young and strong to be capable of riding a bicycle through wind, rain, mountains and many other adverse conditions including traffic on BC's narrow two lane highways.On a recent highway trip through Mcbride my sister commented about when I was young and strong and road my bike on BC's narrow two lane roads without telling my mother where I was going.In my retirement I will simply engage with my keyboard and say what I want about what I perceive is right and what is wrong with the world today.I wish the best to this young group of adventurers and hope they life a long meaningful life and will be able to engage with their keyboards when they grow old.

Much 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.

I don't think I ever said there was "no" gov't oversight back in the day. I also wouldn't want just anyone actually installing a high pressure gas line into my house, that would just be dumb to think I was referring to those kinds of contractors. And when I said parks, I didn't mean provincial parks with campsites, I meant public parks like Ft George Park. And yes, I hitchhiked around the Okanagan in my late teens back in the 70s and laid out my sleeping back and slept in public parks, no one said a thing because I wasn't bothering anyone. Try that today. it's easier to lay it out on a sidewalk instead, because it would just be assumed you are homeless. Point is that certain things that are virtually impossible to do today because of gov't interference and oversight were a lot easier to do 50 years ago and that independence didn't create some disastrous catastrophe for people. Not being able to buy a beer on Sunday hardly qualifies as gov't overreach, people still drank on Sundays.
I remember it well. I basically laid in a coldwater bath all week. Ate all my meals in there and didnt leave the house.Pretty much how I live now.The heat dome affected me.
