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

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.

City council looking to continue discussions over AI data centre
12I 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.

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.

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.

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.

8I 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 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.

AI company wants city council to endorse data centre project
7Fron 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!

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.

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.

6Nope. These places use way too much energy, that we are already importing from the USA to power what we already have.

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.
