Council approves 'Party in the Plaza' funding
12it 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

Unhoused Prince George senior tells his story
13Wow - 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.

A new kidney would rock Greg the Egg's world
10Ted you have done a wonderful and well researched story here, I have been through what Greg is going through right now. Having to admit to yourself that you can no longer live without having to be hooked up to a machine was a very hard decision. The Team at the Kidney clinic at our hospital here are the best. The Team in the Dialysis unit are fantastic. Here is a little bit advice for Greg and anyone else in this situation, I was lucky enough to get a living donor, I budgeted about 30k to cover the donor's and my expenses , lost wages ,travel ,hotel ect. Make sure you are tested for T.B. the treatment for that is about 6 months and you cannot receive a Kidney until that has been treated. Diet ,follow the diet while you are on dialysis to feel your best, I found that a Rice based diet kept my health in check. Greg, after you get your new kidney , we will see you in clinic.

Prince George gets ready to spring forward for good
9there are arguments on both sides of the change, and i am sure so called experts will be beating their chests and singing their song either for or against...... Personally , just for sake of ease, the time could have just been left alone. but I am glad though they have finally decided to stop that time change twice a year foolishness...( and that is my opinion only).

9I hope this turns out well. My brother in law had a successful transplant at 68 after a long wait. Don't give up.

CNC students and incarcerated learners will soon be sharing a classroom
5They'll get shoved out to make room for India's citizens to collect some of Carney's 100 million of Canada's taxpayer money to fund east Indian students. One just can't make this stuff up.

Don't forget to turn your clocks ahead (for the last time) tonight
5The 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.

5It 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.

AI company wants city council to endorse data centre project
6Nope. These places use way too much energy, that we are already importing from the USA to power what we already have.

AI company wants city council to endorse data centre project
6Fron digging into the council minutes and reading this company's pitch slide deck, I get a ton of red flags. There are no names of people on their end, and no trace of the company on Google or social media (other unrelated companies with the same name exist). Their letter and slide presentation doesn't point towards a website or any information of the people behind CedarCore.They claim multimillion dollar projects tracing back to 2007 but again, I see no evidence of it outside of their slideshow.Stay away!

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.

Prince George committee support push to change tax break law
5“the owners of major industrial and electrical generating properties”These aren’t shuttered mom and pop businesses. These properties are mostly owned by industrial juggernauts who raped our land in one form or another. I’m talking international forestry, mining companies etc. Now that they have lined their pockets and moved on. Ask yourselves why should small business and their laid off employees rooted in the community foot their tax obligations.

Committee revives discussion on city-owned medical clinics
4We need medical clinics to be under the same system as dental. Workplace provided or privately purchased healthcare plans would inject money which would attract doctors to the healthcare system… Right now, Canada is providing healthcare access for anyone who can fly, boat, swim, or tunnel their way here… they’re even providing healthcare for fraudulent refugee claimants arrested for violent crime! 🤡 🇨🇦

AI company wants city council to endorse data centre project
5I find it intentionally misleading that they suggest this is a technology and education campus, and oh yeah, on a side note, we'll also have an AI data centre.I think this is all about access to our cheap, clean electricity, which we only have so much of.Will this create and support as many jobs for PG as other industries that need our electricity? I doubt it.

AI company wants city council to endorse data centre project
5Looking at what's happened in the United States and other Provinces. Heck no, to AI Centre's. Electricity bills went through the roof un those other areas and we don't have enough power now to run the EV's we're buying. A bunch of communities are fighting back because let's face it, we can't live without clean reliable water but we can live without a data centre.
