Prince George Safe Streets Bylaw critiqued by University of Toronto sociology department chair
26Anyone 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?

Council approves 'Party in the Plaza' funding
15it 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

19The 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.

15Do 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.

City council looking to continue discussions over AI data centre
15I 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.

11I 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.

City to send letter of support for modular home project
3Thanks.... 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.

8Look 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.

8Just 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.

Darrell Jones pitches people-first approach during campaign stop
4It'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.

City moves to change camping area boundaries at Moccasin Flats
8Why 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.

7You’re basing this off what exactly, did we read the same article? There isn’t one shred of evidence to support any claims being made. 1. Property and prejudicial language. Anything to support this, or is this just the account of the homeless persons in question?2. coercive displacementAgain, any evidence to support this? Also, anyone who actually lives in this town, knows better. Go down town, and look at the destruction, vandalism and refuse and speak to the business owners who experience downtown Prince George everyday. Not hard to see, there is a lot more than loitering going on.3. Public Health EmergencyGreat news, since ending the take home safe supply model, drug deaths have gone down in the province by 10%, compared to the same time last year.Just another activist desperate to put the rights of the homeless ahead of everyone else and enable their destruction of public spaces and contempt for rule of law.Go back to Toronto please.

6No matter how hard you try or how much money you waste you will not get rid of the homeless. If you have ever talked to any of them you would find out that some decided to live on their own terms. Off the grid You can’t force help on someone especially counseling.Help who wants it. Spend your energy wisely.

City council supports saving Squamish-to-100 Mile House rail line
6There’s a reason CN wants to abandon this line. I think it’s been a few years since they’ve even ran trains between Squamish and 100 Mile. It is unprofitable and expensive to maintain. This isn’t the prairies, where everything is flat. There are considerable grades involved in BC. If this were to go through I see it ultimately being propped up by taxpayers again. And to keep this line open in the event that a disaster just so happens to wipe out the Trans-Canada and both rail lines for an extended period of time is grasping at straws. Metro Vancouver is not on an island. Let’s stop pretending that it is.
