Pay increase approved for Regional District of Fraser-Fort George directors, chair
12“We all know this hot topic; nobody really wants to discuss it,” said Mobley. “So we’re going to have a discussion now. I just want to share my personal experience as an elected official when it comes to some of the things as a 38-year-old man supporting a family of four on a single income"....Suggest you get another job with better pay and stop crying.

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.

Unhoused Prince George senior tells his story
10Wow - 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.

Members of Prince George's Iranian community react outbreak of war
9I can only imagine the fear and dread these people are living through, here and in Iran, fearful for their lives and the lives of their loved ones.War and violence never seems like the right solution, but if it is true and 40 thousand died at the hands of this mans regime, maybe it is good that he is dead and hopefully his regime is toppled when the dust settles. I wonder how deep the support for Khamenei was and if simy killing him will be enough to really change things.Reading the history of Iran, it seems at one point he was well liked and the Shah was rejected and exiled.

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

Prince George gets ready to spring forward for good
8there 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).

6Can they show, with evidence how their actions (using our money) would somehow clean the global air? No? Didn’t think so… but it’s “science” right?… “Climate action” is the real threat to our economic safety and security far more than their Trump devil…

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.

BC to adopt permanent daylight savings time
3What a bad decision! The 2019 referendum offered only 2 options, stay with time changes for Daylight Savings or permanent Daylight Savings. Those of us who understood that this 2nd option was a very bad choice, particularly in the Northern/Central areas of BC, had no option to choose to stay with permanent Standard Time. The referendum failed to be valid by leaving out a critical option. Now we are being forced to accept a bad design to our detriment. Daylight is required to regulate peoples' nervous systems and a later sunrise in winter is going to cause stress, frustration and sleep deprivation for BC residents. For example, sunrise in mid December in Prince George will be at 9:30 am and 10:02 am in Prince Rupert. Bad decisions lead to poor outcomes. I have read that the 3 western States have changed to preferring permanent standard time once they are able to get their voters to pass the legislation. I hate the semi-annual time change, but this will be much worse!

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! 🤡 🇨🇦
