Prince George Safe Streets Bylaw critiqued by University of Toronto sociology department chair
22
Anyone else feel that the opining of a University prof who lives about 4000km away & who most likely lives in a very tony neighbourhood with little to no first hand, day to day dealing in stepping over feces, blood & dirty needles, or having to worry about his business being torched, is completely useless & a waste of time?

it is amazing how they always seem to have money for the not needed stuff and stuff that needs money is ignored or reduced. I guess some of our reduction in snow removal funds is paying for this

Seems a little suspicious that there isn't an individual behind this recently spun up company.

I wonder if the AI facility will be located beside the $5.6 Billion West Coast Olefins plant in the BCR or the $billion hydrogen plant on 97 south or the $billion hemp facility at the old experimental farm, etc, etc.The AI company is a startup with a website announcing their hopes to have two data centers, the main one here and one in southern interior. Hope doesn't pay the bills!Moral of the story is don't fall for the half baked plans of people with big ideas but little or no money. The city should not spend a single penny on this until they see the colour of enough money to move the project to completion.

Dr. Hermer is right.

The downtown decline can become permanent if nothing changes. Cities that turned it around (Calgary, parts of Edmonton, even New York decades ago) did three things at the same time:1. Strong enforcement of public order2. Large investments in treatment and housing3. Heavy investment in making downtown attractive againIf you only do one of those three, nothing changes.

Wow - that’s quite a story. Kudos to the Seniors Resource Centre for your good work, and kudos to Mr. Greene; in spite of difficult circumstances, you pursued a life of hard work and contribution without looking for someone to blame, and you take personal accountability when it needs to be taken. Best wishes to you.

Do not take DRUGS, stay away from Drugs , if you are on Drugs find help and get clean. People that sell Fentanyl should be charged with Murder, we need some tough love.

I think the City should be supporting the local Community College that delivers the same type of programs that this campus would be. The subject matter experts make up about 80 years of combined experience in this field.

The AI data center MUST bring their POWER or a no go.

Thanks.... Everyone in construction here wants to thank you for not getting them to build your buildings. Im sure Winton Global thanks you as well. Oh yeah, if you want some pictures of modulard that have been used here previously. I have plenty. Unfortunately they may convince you to not use modular buildings.

Look up all the disastrous examples in the States when data centers build near communities. Other than short term construction jobs (almost never local companies) these centers are a massive strain on power grids, pump out emissions that would put mills to shame, and are an absolute blight on the landscape. They lie to get approval, make promises that never come to fruition. They are not a solution to struggling economies.

Just curious when Cedarcore met with council previously seeing as they were encorporated Jan 6, 2026. Who owns it? If you aren't willing to tell residents, we don't need this here.

It's highly un-likely in this time period, that an entry level employee is going to start fresh and wind up running the company. It's no longer the 70s. Those days are gone, as are that days of Conservatives.

The Peace has been on MST since the 70’s. I’m pretty sure the people living up there haven’t had their circadian rhythms turned to mush after living it for the past 55 years.

Why do we have to have the Temporary over night shelter in the Lower Patricia area?? The Downtown and area have enough problems, so if we have to have a site locate it some where else. If you do not shop or live in the Downtown area it is easy to turn a blind eye, to the problems coming here , people from who knows where , with who knows what, looking for a free lunch and housing. The North Star Inn should be DRUG free and turned into a rehab center , how can you get off Drugs if everyone around you is doing Drugs, also it is a block away from a School. The Hospital is on overload.

It will be all good until your kids and grandkids will be walking to school in the dark this winter. I guess we will see who start the petitions then to get the school hours changed so little Billy and little Sally doesn't have to walk to school in the dark.
