Nurses begin job action after strike deadline passes
12Such a farce.No matter how contentious the strike action and the eventual outcome you can be guaranteed that the BCNU and all of the other provincial public sector unions will instruct their thousands and thousands of union members to vote NDP in the next election.Hypocrites. Go cry a river BCNU and let your river fill the ocean of deficit and debt your NDP masters have created.Thank you BCNU, for your contribution to increased taxes.

Too close for comfort: City error has neighbours upset about new deck
14The City should cover the cost to remove the foundation and replace it in the correct location that meets the set-back requirements. Whoever approved this permit was asleep at the wheel and needs a wake up call! This is the very most basic check-point in approving a permit! The developer should bare some responsibility as well. They should know better than to even submit an application that does not meet the basic set-back requirements, but ultimately- the city is responsible. Not fair for the neighborhood to suffer the consequences of the professional’s negligence or dereliction of duty!

15Another great local business gone and the govt focusing on the tent encampment trash etc all these businesses are affected and the tax paying citizens. Look at CrossRoads and Birch Boar there’s many loss of local businesses due to the actual issue in society.

BCNU reports nurse intimidation as picket lines begin forming
10Instead of going along with the government mandate of 3% a year increase that the other public sector unions have agreed to, the BCNU and its nurses have opted to be selfish and greedy.If they do indeed manage to negotiate more than the other unions, then by virtue of the " me too " clause, the government will have to pay all of the other unions the same increase on top of the 3% already agreed too.That will apply to all 456,000 public union members in B.C. who represent roughly 10% of B.C.'s population.That's a lot of parasites gorging on the carcass of public tax dollars.With all public unions it's only ever about the money and nothing else so please spare the public your whining that you'd rather be at work than on the picket line.No you wouldn't. Hopefully, the BCNU's job action in their greedy quest will not harm the lives of patients.

Pipelines and submarines: What's in it for Prince George?
10PG would benefit a lot more if tankers were allowed to access Prince Rupert (incidentally a much less congested and safer port to access than going through the Burrard Inlet, in a busy harbour, with multiple bridges).

RCMP save three after boat capsizes on Stuart Lake
10Maybe there is the odd exception someone can tell me, but on small vessels it should be mandatory for everyone to wear a life jacket or personal flotation device. Of course, if such a law was instituted, there would be a hue & cry from the uptight right with the tired old complaint of too much government regulation. Recall the whining when seatbelt law was introduced. The sky did not fall.

Council considers letting performers smoke onstage
9Wow, and here I thought open flame or incendiaries of any sort onstage, or backstage was a serious no-no, mostly for safety reasons. Did council consult its Fire safety officer? My family have been apart of the theatrical scene in the city for over forty years and never once have we even considered lobbying to allow smoking on stage in a show. This issue and council’s attention to is the height of absurdity. In one quick discussion and subsequent decision, the City of Prince George has undermined a generation’s worth of anti smoking policy and education. Smoking is not a healthy model. We have banned indoor smoking, haven’t we? We hide smokes behind curtains in retail stores, don’t we? Suddenly, it’s ok to smoke indoors, in front of children? This further illustrates why municipal councils should probably restrict discussions to business directly under its purview. Bylaws to ban smoking? Sure. Bylaws to restrict unsafe behaviour on City property. Sure. World peace? Nope.

9Simple...City messed up. They need to partially reimburse the developer. I do not believe full compensation should be provided since the developer made a mistake by not being familiar with rules.

Major federal funding for North Coast Transmission Line
6What a financial relief for Eby.Now he can return his focus to bloat the public service even more bloated than its bloated self right now and plunge the provincial deficit and debt even further into the deep abyss.

Four problem properties are now off the city's radar
8Well done city hall 4 properties!!! At this rate by the year 2300 the city will have finally dealt with all the problem homes in Prince George, Drive down any street in lower College Heights and you can point out every rental home. They look like a dump, total disrepair, grass at least 2 feet high, fences broken and falling over, siding hanging by a thread, junk in the driveways, bringing down the value of every well kept home on the street. It’s not just College Heights, it’s in every neighbourhood in this town except for the exclusive ones. You want to pat yourself on the back, how about finding the slumlords that own these rentals and make them clean up the mess or fine them 10,000, instead of raising our taxes every single year.

City staff say Aquatic Centre renos remain on time, on budget
8The question remains, what was done during yearly pool maintenance closures?The Four Seasons Pool was built, closed for yearly maintenance and ultimately demolished within my lifetime. I must seriously question the quality of work being done on civic projects, with staggering prices to build and supposedly maintain, only to write them off or, in the case of the Aquatic Centre, renovate at a price not far off the original construction cost.I remain unimpressed with the quality of oversight and management from City Council and wait to see how fellow citizens feel when we put pencil to ballot in this fall's civic election. Familiarize yourself with the overall voting record of the current council and avoid being drawn into voting on name recognition alone, excellent past candidates were eliminated in part due to people voting on name recognition and perhaps little knowledge of their actual performance in whatever field that recognition was generated. Research before voting, PLEASE!
