Utter Anarchy! Thank You NDP for your woke practices and free drug supply! Just keep raising taxes and utilities to cover free watch parties and forget about kicking up increased security patrols, motion floodlights and more cameras. PG is circling the drain....
These residents should be offered once again altermate housing that apparently exists and if they refuse, they should be moved out of city limits as overnight camping in city limits should be banned once and for all. Bulldoze moccasin flats. Anyone with common sense saw this utter nonsense coming when David Eby and NDP decided to give out free drugs to increase amount of drug addicts in this province. Think well come election day.
Another feeble excuse for city to cheap out on fireworks. Shoot them over the Fraser river as they used to do. Not one fire started that I can remember.
well thats one way to get more people using the Canfor pool? be interesting to see attendance levels before and after shutting down aquatic center. cannot wait for next election.
Not to sound unsympathetic to these unfortunate people, but as mentioned in the article, There is shelter space available in the city but the rule requirements act as barriers and some people would rather camp than conform. So that being said, then these people are not entitled to sleep wherever they want. Also Moccasin Flats is just an attractant. As long as they can camp there, they will come. Offer shelters and too bad if they refuse. This problem has gone on long enough. This town has become an embarrassment and unsafe with ongoing vandalism, fires and attacks.
Have had more than one near miss with taxis in town. Seem to push rules of road by cuttng in front, running red lights, speeding and not stopping at stop signs. Not sure what safe driving and training of drivers and their licensing qualifications is required, but maybe time for a review, if you ask me.
It is absolutely ridiculous since in the past the fireworks were let off over the fraser river at site formally known as Ft George Park. The city needs the funds to cover all costs of putting out the fires at moccasin flats. Prince George is circling the drain.
Ongoing nonsense (No Sense) it would be interesting to see just how much money has been spent since the onset of this nightmare? These people seem unable or unwilling to get help. Maybe instead of creating more drug addicts with free drugs, the "Powers" that be should look at re-opening the institutions the Liberals shut down years ago. Such insanity in the decision making in this country.
Does the Mayor and Council just sit around thinking up stupid ideas to make work and spend money needlessly? Move Mr PG across hwy 97 beside the Welcome to PG sign if it needs to be moved at all. I mean really....use your brains!
Perhaps the reduction of mass immigration overall will improve things in Canada by reducing class sizes and making more teachers available all around. Mayhap it will also ease up on housing and medical staff burdens too.
Just typical that the city continues to accept over inflated bids from supposed professional contractors that do not have a clue about Northern weather conditions....Public Library leaking parkade? And University road sluffing off the hillside, underground parking fiasco, just to mention a few that I remember. Bids should not be open to more than a 10% over run of costs. And best bid, not lowest necessarily. No surprise here when most people in office have no business experience or education. Should have kept old pool.
Maybe we have it backwards....instead of businesses moving out of the downtown core, move all these support places out. Towns that do not provide these services do not have these problems on the scale of P.G. Build it, they will come.
Well well well. How else to pay for those new public washrooms the city so desperately needs for the homeless? Remember come next election that it is time to clean house at city hall. Lunatics are running the asylum. A lot of the taxpayers in this town are retirees and do not get an 6.55% increase to match.
Money well spent in comparison to all the other hare-brained expenditures this city counsel has approved! Aside from criminal privacy concerns, these bodycams can provide information and the real story of what happens during interactions on both sides, since most times the police are under gag orders.
