Mayor says he's still thinking about whether to run for another term
21PRINCE GEORGE is not Montreal...you want this place to grow...stop the hand outs and use the taxes that are paid to the city and you for convoluted illusions of PG Grandeur. People are losing their jobs, money and safety in PG. Why don't you start caring about the people in PG instead of Montreal or Hong Kong.

Pipeline assessment changes could affect Prince George taxpayers
16Come on now...the government needs more taxes to pay for the exorbitant wage increases it's handing out to all of its public sector unions which amounts to billions of dollars more annually year after year.Thank you BCGEU, CUPE, and all the other public unions for raising taxes !

Mayor says he's still thinking about whether to run for another term
17I can remember in 1970 during the boom years of PG they predicted the city's population would be 100,000 by the year 2000.The Citizen, at the time, was published with a line underneath its front page banner proclaiming PG " the Spruce Capital of the World " and " B.C.'s third largest city ".Heady days so very long ago that seem like a dream long gone.The dream is over.

17First it was “you can’t get a family doctor anymore, you’ll have to use walk in clinics” and now it’s becoming “you can’t use a walk in clinic anymore, you’ll have to use the emergency room”… guess what comes after that?… 💀

15Despite good intentions, has Mayor Yu become just another cog in City Hall’s hamster wheel? Once elected, a mayor owes the community active leadership and accountability. Prince George needs a proactive mayor, not one who speaks only when prompted or through formal channels. We rarely hear from Mayor Yu directly. A modern city deserves steady, independent updates, not sound bites solely filtered through official channels. We at least deserve brief bi-weekly posts and fuller monthly reports. A mayor should shape the narrative, demand transparency, and address challenges openly.Mayor, use your social media. Use your website. This isn’t about being disruptive; it’s about forging your own path. Residents need to know what’s happening behind the scenes, including the pushback. Leadership requires visibility, not silence. It’s not too late to step up, own the role, and be the communicator Prince George needs. Your audience is us, not councillors and city hall dignities.

Committee considers alternative pay raise structure for city council
15Mothus says " That's why CEO's make money nobody can understand because they're going to make the company successful ".The City of PG pays its administrative CEO, Walter Babicz, $ 300,000 a year and did likewise for his predecessor, Kathleen Soltis.Look around you Mr. Mothus, where's the economic success in PG ? And don't point to some mine 400 miles away because that's not PG.Mr. Mothus sounds like a defender of city council compensation and not some arms length neutral objective committee member.Hope you earn a tax break on your business city property for your efforts.

Women working for SD57 make 18 cents an hour less than men: Pay report
12Another toothless law. The Pay Transparency Act is a prime example of how our legislators waste time and taxpayers’ money.Designed to avoid offending anyone over gender identity, it actually prevents employers from using the gender data they already have. The result is a reporting system so restricted that the numbers it produces are incomplete, inaccurate, and essentially useless — a self-defeating piece of legislation.

MLA says province has to meet feds on major projects
12The B.C. NDP has to pander to their extremist voters who want to give up private property ownership in the name of “reconciliation” and to sacrifice the next generation to pretended that they’re “saving the planet”. If we continue the B.C. NDP’s vision for B.C., this will soon be a place to flee from. That’s not even hyperbole at this point…

Salveo Clinic to close permanently due to doctor shortage
5Lots to be concerned with regarding our public medical system. Often a lot of outrage from the “usual suspects” about hard drugs & the associated costs. What about items that are much more of a drain on our public health: alcohol, processed foods, tobacco, refined sugars, etc. There would be a lot more money to hire doctors & open medical clinics if people chose a healthy way of life. People are complicated & many with difficult circumstances which can lead to understandable costs. However, many others are somewhat blameworthy regarding everyday pressures that exist in our medical system. Perhaps many of us should focus on our behaviour & how changing one’s behaviour may reduce strain on the medical system. Unfortunately, the right prefer to blame big bad gov’t & politicians than to look in the mirror.

MLA says province has to meet feds on major projects
11Before 1990, major projects got built because the governments didn't have to pander to countless indigenous groups which now roadblock practically every planned project.It's ridiculous and a problem of the governments (past and present) own making who decided it was right to pander and listen to these groups.

14How very sad. One walk in clinic for a town this size is inadequate. Even if you have a family physician, depending on how they run their practice, you can wait 2 to 3 weeks to get an appointment, long gone are the days when you use to call your Doctors office and say you think you have an ear or sinus infection and the receptionist would say pop in and someone will have a look at you between patients. So between those who have physicians who refuse to see you for an urgent matter and tell you to go to the walk in clinic, and those who have no physician at all we have quite a situation with the medical system. When you have the whole obstetrics team quit and walk off the job at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops last month and then the whole psychiatric team quit and walk off the job at Vernon General Hospital 2 weeks ago you have a serious healthcare issue. The Minister of Health needs to step up and start investigating what is going on!

Committee considers alternative pay raise structure for city council
12Here is a suggestion:For every percentage point property taxes are increased above the rate of inflation the mayor and council's pay is reduced by an equal amountFor example if the inflation rate is 3% and the property tax increase is 7% then pay is reduced by 4%. Then have a bonus system if taxes are held at or below the rate of inflationUnder this system they will be paying a lot more attention to the department budget requests looking for waste & fat and the rubber stamp they have used up until now will stay in the drawer
