He is looking to be a career politician and use this as his next step. The issue with politicians whose background is in PR and marketing is that tends to be all there is. This is not what PG needs. At all.

The amount of people complaining about the nostalgia of building and using bike trails on private property, AKA incriminating themselves for trespassing is WILD.

Well the good news is that maybe now property tax can be collected on that property

Dan Mclaren, like Simon Yu, is another deeply financially conflicted PG businessman, who likely has some good intentions but will ultimately regress to his own self interest. He has a very sketchy track record in this city. Let's not do this.

BINGO. All the "cost saving" measures of reshuffling middle management roles are immaterial. It is the upper management and the VP's that need to go. Northern Health is ineffective from the board level down and needs a complete audit and cleanse.

Just because there is no specific rule against it doesn’t mean it’s not greasy and ridiculous

Just because it’s not in violation of the city’s rules doesn’t mean it’s not greasy and ridiculous

First he got busted for completely bungling conservative leader nomination process with illegal votes and now he's exposed for collecting too much donation. Both times he has simply just claimed ignorance. Can't we just agree with him?

His PG legacy is certainly sealed. A blowhard egomaniac who at the end of life realized how poor his reputation was and then hired a VP of marketing to try and cleanse it. To say nothing of his books that he self published.

Zimmer and Doherty are completely irrelevant. A wooden post would win their ridings if it was branded "Conservative." Their opinions are moot.

How on earth are you reporting on the kodiaks without mentioning the financial and legal problems that are going to cripple the entire program?

This is truly embarrassing

Perham is absolutely correct. A large amount of the problem stems from a lack of transparency from the NH Board. The NH Board of Directors is a completely ineffective group. Their role as a board is to provide high level guidance to the direction of the health authority and provide sober/objective input on how to direct resources for the best overall health impact to the people of Northern BC, and they are compensated well to do this. Instead it is a group of mostly medically-illiterate community members with a nicely paid side hustle (NH board) that will do the bidding for what the NH admin needs them to approve and rubber stamp. Not even remotely what their true role is. And the opportunity cost of the leadership black hole they create is massive.
RETENTION. This is more important than recruitment. And NH does not do it. Period.

I urge everyone not to support the Kodiaks UNTIL the legal and investigative proceedings regarding the Hart Community Center are settled. The head coach of the Kodiaks was on the board of the HCC. This cannot continue to be ignored and swept under the rug.
