If consenting adults are offering and purchasing these services, then regulate them properly instead of forcing them into the shadows. Let businesses apply for licenses that accurately reflect the services they provide with health standards, worker protections, and oversight. Pretending these services don’t exist helps nobody.
Barkerville is about the history of Barkerville and the goldrushers who established it and built businesses there.It is not about the history of the indigenous.
Way to go bylaw officers! Lets make there is nothing downtown except drug addicts sprawled out on the street, starting lawful fires everywhere. Hold your head up high and be proud, your making a difference!
Once again councilors except a few (not Kyle ever) would rather keep the status quo spending habits. The fact they admit they would rather keep items secret that they are willing to pay instead of finding the same option for better prices seems like some nepotism.
When a leader of a party includes any type of religious reference such as "faith" being an important part of their platform they have already lost the majority of votes down south or in the blue collar areas of BC. We are not the states, we don't hold religion in high standards when it comes to voting. They missed the boat by not selecting Elliot. The NDP will continue to win the south, where the population is, unless they do something to themselves to alienate the lefties in Vancouver and area. If they couldn't win enough seats in the south with Rustad, they certainly won't with Findlay.
The NDP just won the next election.The conservatives chose a true right conservative (Findlay) narrowly over a centrist conservative (Elliot) and therefore have lost any chance of winning more urban votes in Lotusland where most of the MLA seats are.The NDP were terrified of Elliot but Findlay is a godsend.As long as the grassroots far right rule the Conservatives they will never win.
Thx Debbie Downer. It will continue as business as usual for the most part and the employees don't get to lose their jobs. Economic development can be a powerful tool, never under estimate it.
Lol, of course they bring up Trump. No conservative leader in Canadian history has been anything like trump. Stephen Harper was diplomatic, measured and methodical and Canada prospered under his leadership. Under NDP leadership, what has happened?Violent crime has risen dramaticallyDrug addiction, overdose deaths have risen dramatically. But at least after 15000 people died, they relented and admitted their plan was a failureThe provincial government is now being threatened by unelected chiefs and bands, over land title ruling. We can’t even talk about some things publicly, because they can never be scrutinized.We had six months of violent public outrage, over what is likely buried septic field, but we will never know, because followup will never happen. Youth unemployment is higher than ever before.What has gone well?
Looks like the Conservatives may have just handed the NDP another 4 years at the next election. They had a real opportunity to break the mould and offer something new, but instead they’ve gone with the same old establishment politics. It’s no wonder younger generations aren’t energized by politics anymore.
Well better than the other ones running. Looks like the only option to get rid of the socialist in there now. Right now the province is doomed under the NDP.
Barkerville is already historically inaccurate the stores and restaurants have electric lighting and indoor plumbing. Barkerville had many gentlemen's entertainment establishments - NOT a family friendly vacation attraction.
