City to ask public to OK $15.86M in CN Centre work
24This sounds like the Aquatic centre all over again. “The building envelope is so signs of aging”. This seems awfully vague. I was just there, building looked fine to me. My experience in construction, is telling me there is more than meets the eye in both of these situations. I suspect the real reason for updating these structures, is to meet targets for some sort of green initiative. A buildings made out of concrete and steel, last much longer than thirty years. The life span is more likely 50-100 years before serious work is needed. And there is plenty of evidence of that in our community. “Alternative approval is a BC process that allows the city 30 days to gauge public approval for major initiatives in a referendum-like format. Taxpayers are asked to submit opposition forms.”Any information on how to submit opposition forms?

23Why aren't these city owed buildings capable of supporting their own major maintenance budgets? Who are city hall is in charge of these kind of decisions and why aren't they fired. How does all these huge assets not produce enough income to support renovations. Are the renovation improvements to increase the ROI or is city hall spending tax payers money without caring.....again.

22the AAP process is a very sneaky way of doing things in our city or any where for that matter. We all know we do not have enough people that are willing to get off the couch long enough to go get a form and fill it out and return it. We seen this happen with the pool. when there is a election coming up this should be a question put on a ballot then it will get voted on. Not just months before. I personally do not like the AAP way of doing things it seems very sneaky

Violence a reality for paramedics, says safety director
7People who constantly spew anti-govt rhetoric help cultivate an atmosphere where violence towards public servants, including 1st responders, occurs. There are obvious other reasons why violence towards 1st responders occurs, but toning down the firehose of hate filled disrespectful anti govt conspiratorial babble would help.

18I’ve seen violence against paramedics and fire fighters first hand which usually involves them administering narcan to a person who has OD’d on opioids. User can become extremely violent if taken out of their high too fast which is why narcan where possible is metered out in a controlled fashion to reduce the likelihood of a user becoming violent upon their high being interrupted.It is very real and occurs more than people want to believe. I don’t blame first responders waiting for more backup or police because it’s dangerous for first responders now.

Discipline hearing postponed again at mayor's request
10I am disappointed with EGBC. I understand that some accommodations are required to keep the system fair, but it has been almost a year. When will the delays stop and the hearing proceed?If the mayor is repeatedly using "mayoral duties" as an excuse, EGBC must put their foot down and ask, "what about your duties as a professional engineer?" It's the same duty that every engineer has and the mayor is no exception.

Fraser-Fort George directors look to bring vacancy tax north
12Thats the solution to everything, add another tax. What a lazy answer and the real intent is to simply find a way to squeeze a few more drops from the masses, rather than actually address any real problem. Strange we live in a time where we are probably paying the most tax of any generation in Canadian history and probably getting a diminished return compared to previous generations.When do we start looking internally at the legions of public servants and start assigning them a grade on their performance and value and begin reducing their ballooning numbers and ever escalating operating cost? Why should judges for example, receive a raise at this time? In a time of escalating crime and mayhem, people that are by no means struggling, saw fit to give themselves a healthy raise, while crime rates soar to new heights and your average Canadian slides further into poverty. The money politicians spend is even more appalling. 130k clothing allowance for governor general?
