Advocacy group slams lack of public consultation on UNBC development plan
1Ginters green needs to pound sand. I’m all for the green space they saved, but come on. We need the proper development up there now.

11We have an oil refinery in this city… and yet we pay through the nose. These days, what’s the difference between a multinational corporation and the government?… not much… The Canada we knew is long gone. Globalists like Trudeau, Carney, and Eby have ensured government and corporate control of our country and high prices and low wages are here to stay…

15But we have to pay a rain tax because the city apparently is broke, but yeah, let’s “flush our money down the loo” while we’re at it…

9That’s an F-35 squadron, a terrible and overpriced plane the US is trying to force us to buy. Hopefully Saab will get the nod.

Province ending $200 northern and rural homeowners' tax credit
12Only the last (and most visible) fraction of the carbon tax has been repealed. Repeal the rest of the carbon tax first before you say the “offsets” aren’t needed anymore.And as for Susan Scott stating, “the province should also explain why it was making the change” allow me to explain… Only the votes in the Lower Mainland and Island matter and, therefore, everyone else is expected to pay for their benefit. Remember when all the bridge tolls were eliminated (those bridges are now paid for by everyone else)? Remember when Horgan didn’t even step foot outside of the Lower Mainland when he first campaigned? It’s not rocket science!

Arrest made after object thrown through ambulance window
12What a loser if, indeed, the facts prove that the individual did throw the object. What I don’t want to hear are the difficult circumstances the perpetrator may be experiencing. One’s difficulties does not give one license to commit crimes of violence such as tossing an object at an ambulance.

4Public washrooms are just good city planning the fact that the city of prince george is 111 years old and does not have year round usable accessible public washrooms is embarrassing.

9I would rather see UNBC build downtown or on already cleared land, such as over Parking Lot "C" and the area immediately north of it, as well as the reserved parking lot near the David Douglas garden. I don’t understand why forested areas are being cleared when parking lots, often underused and a poor use of space, already exist. Building over parking lots, with one level of underground parking, makes far more sense and would avoid forest loss. You could even build over a portion of parking lot "A" and "B" while preserving the spectacular view of the mountains.

7Recall a municipal politician, after being elected, stating he was surprised at the amount of time spent on washroom & dog issues. Welcome to city politics. And like every other issue, there is always the malcontents who constantly complain no matter the decision.I just ask politicians to make decisions in good faith. If I disagree, oh well, the majority of decisions are not worth making a fuss over. I generally just make note of it & let it inform me come election time. No need to get whiny about like a lot the usual suspects in the comments section.

6I have lived in the Charella, Starlane area (North of Highway 16) for over 10 years and noticed the following: Hundreds of new houses every year being built, some of the highest taxes in BC for the value of the homes, and very little infrastructure being built during that time. There are no stores, no schools, no government services and only a handful of businesses in our busy area. Tyner to UNBC should have been twinned ten years ago. I have no confidence that the City planners and City leadership are willing to spend any money on areas outside of the downtown money pit.

8Thank you to the Citizen for the attention to this important and sadly controversial issue.I am in full agreement with statements made by Ms. Matthew’s and Ms. Booth. The donut analogy, the lack of respect for the previously provided public input on development in this area, the inevitable increase to our property taxes from new infrastructure costs when we can’t even afford to fix the aging works we have, and the certainty that environmental damage as well as loss of wildlife habitat will occur - it is maddening to think this development could proceed. Prince George has other options where affordable housing can be built. Nature and green space are one the most important and attractive features our city has to offer. UNBC is looking to kill the goose that laid the golden egg. Pave paradise, put up a parking lot? I look forward to casting my vote in Novembers election.

5The progressive ideology taught at UNBC is clearly meant for the future generations to live under, not them, got it. They’re okay if your kids live under communism, but as for UNBC, they’ll capitalize on anything they can get to survive and keep their bloated salaries flowing. How colonialist of them…
