Off-grid family's problematic property comes down
4Clearly was not built to code and therefore unable able to withstand snow loads etc. Thankfully nobody was hurt.

18As stated the supports were in the process of being removed when the snow collapsed it. But the real stupid thing is the regional district using that as a reason why you need a permit to build, as if it was in mid construction when it collapsed. That just goes to show the lack of intelligence when it comes to bureaucratic red tape.

Off-grid family's problematic property comes down
15I wonder if you read the entire story or just glanced it over. The building collapsed due to several structural support beams being removed prior to the recent snowfalls in preparation for demolition and it collapsed under the weight of the snow due to lack of structural support.

Council approves alternate approval plan, but public could say 'no'
15The AAP makes this whole process pointless, really. It’s basically a loophole manufactured by politicians, for politicians to use as a blank cheque for any projects they want. And to use debt on regular maintenance? That seems really irresponsible…

Local MLAs concerned 2026 budget will leave Prince George behind
12Is anyone surprised at this point? People should understand the provincial and federal government stances on things after how many years. Things won't change until they get to hard for the people down south.

5Was it brought down due to not being finished (with all the supports in place), voluntarily by the owner, or via a surprise visitor?

11Gee, isn't that what all the tax increases over the years was supposed to pay for? Or are taxes just to pay for councilor pay increases?

9Local MLA’s have all expressed valid concerns that should be addressed by Eby. Unfortunately much of what Eby has done has resulted in increasing debts since we had a surplus after Horgan left office. Eby seems to think he can meet his goals on borrowed money but manages to increase the debt year after year, not what we expect from our leadership. We need a change in provincial lead ship, if not party.

Olympian Hiller-Donnelly says Canada should consider lottery to support athletes
8When the government promoted forming the lottery corporation many years ago, they claimed that a certain percentage of the profits would be directed to sport organizations for this very reason. For the first few years, as far as I can recall, amateur sports group were funded by the lottery profits. Back then you could also receive a very nice booklet annually as a report of sales revenue, costs and disbursements of funds to both winners and non-profit organizations.I would love to see deserving people and groups representing our country receive better funding again. Lottery funds should not be supporting the government or a connected someone's pet project.

Council decides city won't sign on to RCMP Auxiliary
5The RCMP Auxiliary can play a useful role in supporting the full-time RCMP members. Considering the manpower challenges facing the RCMP, I’m not sure this it’s a good idea to say “no” to more uniformed support.

7Eby and NDP party do not want growth from outside or inside of BC...just want money. The best way to keep BC broke is to tax everyone that lives in this beautiful but bankrupt province.
