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.

Remunerations committee changes course on council pay raises after backlash
21Kudos to the committee for finally reading the room right and now not wanting anything more to do with this.Scapegoat committees like this are set up by weak and spineless elected politicians to do their dirty work and bear the brunt of public opposition and did Mothus and company ever receive that.Shame on the cowards that sit on council and shame on the weak and cowardly Mayor.If you want a pay hike, then organize a town hall at CN Centre to plead your case in person to your adoring public.And as for the idea of meeting stipends do not end up like MetroVancouver where attendees get paid over $ 500 per meeting and double that if the meeting goes over time....bad idea.I remember when councillors made $ 5000 a year and ran for office to make a difference.Now they're in it for the money and don't care what difference they make.

19Also, 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.

Hunter sues BC Conservation Officer Service, government for defamation
16Regardless of some technical loophole, you poached and broke the law. You don't deserve to have this erroneous case even go to trial.

20Yes they did expect the scrutiny. Your published comments by Jen Higham support. She cites social media scrutiny as being a reason council needs raises. Thank goodbess for public accountability. I also want to state if someone needs to fear social media backlash, a public seat isn't the space for them!

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 ?

Police continue to investigate downtown apartment fire
14He should get the same lawyer representing the alleged Crossroads arsonist.If he's lucky enough to get the same slack judge hearing that case he will never come to trial.

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.

11Great 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.

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.

13It would be interesting to know the dimensions of the retaining wall and the angle of the slope behind it

CNC and Northern Health warn of campus measles exposure
6It’s everyone’s, with the exception of the incredibly rare medical reason, moral obligation to get the vaccines easily available to protect themselves & others along with reducing costs to our healthcare system. Flu, mmr, shingles, covid, etc. All are very effective. Trust science; not Q-anon.
