I'm so tired of criminals using the excuse of having a bad childhood as reasons for their criminal behavior. Sure, their life might have been bad as a child, but once you are an adult, everyone is capable to make choices to be better. At some point, regardless of your history, you are responsible for what you do. Period! And we, as Canadians, have to stop giving in to to this rhetoric and make everyone responsible for their actions.
One recommendation is "the relocation of social services away from the downtown core".There is no separation between where we want a vibrant downtown business community and where blocks of social services exist. This is a planning failure.Move the social services to the other side of Queensway near the new free housing.Strictly police the area. If people can't abide by society's laws, remove them from society (jail/mental institutions/rehab).
Thanks to the workers, service is restored. The B.C. NDP plans on making this a regular occurrence however, along with rolling blackouts to pursue their insane net-zero agenda. With the LNG terminal in B.C., every single resident should have free natural gas service as a basic benefit. B.C. is a pillaging ground for corporations while residents get nothing but more taxes…. 🤡 🇨🇦
Unacceptable to say the least. We pay top dollar for our electricity. This should never happen. Would not on my watch. Let alone on the coldest day of the year. More 3rd world problems coming soon for you fine folks! Get ready!
time for the courts to get real with their sentencing... a waggle of the fringer, a hug so they don't get emotionally scared and a pat on the back as they push then out the door to start over again isn't going to stop things.... there is no incentive to stop...
Thanks Trudeau, Horgan, eby and carney! Great job you all. Thanks for turning Canada into a 3rd world country. Just amazing how things have gone in the Lou.
This nonsense of sports for kids has to end. Once ⬆️ n a time it was for fun. Now it’s everyone is training the next Wayne Gretzky: parents! Wake up! Your kid isn’t that good. Save your money.
4.5 million could have been better spent on institutions for repeat offenders and trouble-makers instead. At the end of the day you have a safer, business friendly community.
With the $$ for these cameras coming out of the tax payers pockets, the tax payers should, in all fairness be afforded a live stream view of these cameras. It’s quite conceivable that someone viewing one of the feeds could instantly provide RCMP/CrimeStoppers with an ID of the perpetrator. Plus, it would provide hours of entertainment, watching people pick and scratch their body parts
So happy to read this article this Christmas morning. Seniors have done so very much for our community. They don't deserve to be put on the shelf and be forgotten.
