Our judges can't clean up the streets downtown but they can come after your private property pretty efficiently. I wonder what the world looks like from a top the ivory towers
So people are protesting the idea that someone who can't take care of themselves should suffer on the street by themselves until they just "figure it out."
You're wasting time and money on false promises and empty guarantees. Everyone is aware what the glaring issues are , stop wasting people's tax dollars to tell us what you will do and just do it. Clean up the streets, stop wasting tax money on upgrades on buildings that should be able to provide enough to support their own maintenance, stop making fancy buildings with triple the cost just look like some modern alternative style. The tax payers aren't a forever money pit you can keep pulling from.
It's becoming more apparent that people that work for the government could never run a private business. The amount of wasteful spending they do is ridiculous. The fix something up only to make something else the next year. These are people that are trading in a 1 year old vehicle for a new one every year because they don't have to be accountable for the costs. If people who are responsible for spending tax dollars could be fired for wasting money imagine how much further our taxes would go.
This will all just be a waste of money if the judges don't uphold the law and hold those accountable for breaking them. Every judge seems to fall for the sad life story but after you've been arrested and pleaded that they know better now, that sad story shouldn't fool them again.
All this rampant crime is now at the feet of every judge who is soft on crime. If these judges wouldn't let these criminals roam their neighborhoods why do they let roam ours? It feels very much like they live in ivory towers and don't care about their decisions as they are out of touch with reality.
"50 court order breaches, 22 youth convictions and 66 adult convictions" . When do you actually be tough on crime? This is insane, you can't have any excuses at this point for their behavior.
So now that Eby fears the election tune helipad is a priority now. Isn't he in the government now, couldn't he do something right now before the election. For once could a politician do something instead of all these empty promises. Or a more impossible thought, be proactive!
So we are going to increase the overall cost of everything now as we aren't self reliant yet and will take years to get there. Explain how this will help the economic position we have been in ? The companies push the tariff costs to consumers. That combined with the ridiculous carbon tax watch how expensive a trip to costco etc will become.
Imagine If these "leaders " had their salary's reflective of the actual results they provided for their community. What if they were held accountable for going backwards on their statements and commitments.
It's unfortunate that Vancouver residents obviously aren't feeling the economic impact that the NDP have had on our province. I won't feel any sympathy for anyone who votes for more of the same and gets impacted by it.
So the bear numbers are going down but we need a paid position in the city ? Why does our city council and administration keep trying to spend more money on WANTS. Didn't they just report we have a massive bill coming with the aging infrastructure we have. Why not focused funds on those replacements first. These decisions seem to be being made by those least bothered by tax increases to fund all these projects and committees.
Arrested and released? Why do we treat these kind of offenders like fish, catch and release. These will break more laws while awaiting trail for previous crimes. This seems to be a common theme.
People won't move here for a convention center. People move here for high paying jobs that have security and longevity. Unless Prince George can supply those , all these new plans will just increase the burden on those who live here. There isn't a demand for private investors to buy or build here if we don't have the local economy for it.
Why not massively increase the presence of bylaw and police downtown. Instead we have bylaw focused on other trivial matters. The city should focus its resources on stopping the criminal activity downtown not the parties council keeps throwing.
What were these numbers before the Bonnie H and NDP regime? Seems like their policies have hurt the citizens instead of helping, yet they continue to double down.
Our local judges dont care. Why aren't they being questioned. When was the last time they handed down the max penalty for a violent crime? Our judges should be ostracized in this city for what they have done to it.
Im willing to bet after the last 12 years of liberal government you can expect the same. They won't promote industrial growth in BC, and forget the forest industry being helped.
You get what you voted for. This liberal federal government and NDP provincial government is to blame. When the country isn't able to increase its GDP what do you expect to happen. We become a pawn to the US and their demands. If you voted for this current government and this is not fair to you, well that's karma.
