Protesters rally in opposition of involuntary care

PrinceGeorgeCitizen

So why is this story making it sound like Eby was the one who said he would bring in a program of involuntary care first? He didn't say anything of the sort until Rustad said he would if elected premier in an interview before the campaigning began. Eby also copied him on the carbon tax policy and said he would look at cancelling it if the federal gov't got rid of thiers. Funny he never said any of these things until he started losing ground to the Conservatives in the polls. And on point, involuntary help for people who can't help themselves is what this province needs because this chaos started after that was policy was dropped.

Ya, so lets put this pyscopath back out in society after 2 years because he has a drinking problem and was spanked when he was young. What a disgusting sham our justice system is.

My question is, how did regional district even know they were building in the first place? Nosy neighbour disgrunted by the noise? Bored bureaucrat out for a drive to see what they can find to complain about? I find it strange that houses have been built for decades without permits and are still standing and safe, but for some reason people are not capable anymore of building their own residences, according to gov't. This goes beyond permits, in BC you are not allowed to even drive a nail on your own home if doing other that cosmetic repairs unless you have passed an owner/builder test and become your own general contractor. You are unable to pull permits unless you have the owner/builder certification authorization. And of course it costs a substantial amount of money to get one. Most people who have to take the $1000 course before the test to even have a chance at passing it at the 70% passing grade required.

Don't they have anything better to do than stop other people from making a living? Not a good way to ingratiate yourself to the public. Stop wasting the police resources with such childish tantrums and gonna go tell mommy syndrome.

If you have the mental capacity to decide then it should be solely up to the individual to decide if they want a dignified death or a life of constant pain and suffering. This should not be a political football.

Ex-addict says abstinence treatment works, BC's illicit drug strategy offers 'zero incentive' to quit

PrinceGeorgeCitizen

30

I have always said, and will continue to say, that if they put addicts in a place where they have zero chance of using for a period of no less than a year, the vast majority will come out rejecting drugs. The main thing that keeps people using is not having a clear enough mind to realize what they are doing. They need to be forced to live outside of society (not jail) with no physical contact with friends (probably those who use too) and in many cases family until such a time as they are totally clean and thinking straight. When they are a danger to themselves and others because of drugs, they need to lose certain rights of freedom.

Government policies to blame for mill closures, say oppostion MLAs

Access to the AAC is only going to get harder under this gov't when they are slowly giving away the right to harvest to almost everyone except a small special interest group. Our rights to hunt, extract resources are slowly being taken from us and given to a small portion of this province in the name of reconciliation.

Rustad wants action against 'foreign interference' by environmental activists

@LeahElliot .. Rustad didn't get elected because the population center is in the lower mainland where all the hipster environuts live. If you ever looked at the election map you would see that the conservatives carried almost the entire province except where the ndp spends all our money ... the lower mainland.

Prince George reacts to Trudeau's resignation: From 'inevitable' to 'good riddance'

PrinceGeorgeCitizen

14

@ Pamela Chin .. no, what he should have done, based on the polls that clearly show a vast majority of Canadians have zero confidence, not in him alone, but the liberal party, he should have called an election. This prorogation was clearly to keep him in power, him alone, otherwise he could have selected an interim PM, if he was truly resigning his leadership and position. Nothing is going to change in the couple of months he is delaying, so he clearly is not doing what the Canadian people want.

You should have seen what your grandparents (providing your are 40+ years old) lived in, and in some cases, raised way bigger families than what they have now. I am sure the majority of them have turned out to be just regular everyday folks who work and pay taxes. Not everyone was born into a nice middle class family who didn't have to struggle to put food on the table.

"This election was marked by a stark division between the parties, and between British Columbians - but one thing BC voters have made clear: they support the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act,” said Teegee, in a media release." .. Really ... this is what you got from the close vote? I think it is more of an indication of the opposite. People see what they want to see and don't necessarily see the obvious. As I stated in a post before the election, all you people who voted NDP can just sit back and watch your hard earned, paid for, private property rights overridden by aboriginal land title rights.

To test a liberal party member one just needs to ask them about free speech, resource industies, Foreign interference, SNC Lavalin, CBC, Aga Khan incident, Trudeau blackface, ArriveCan. If the member gets worked up over any of those issues then it’s time to move on. If the member can maintain their composure then it might be worth listening to that liberal member on other issues.

Rustad out as BC Conservatives' leader

The real sad thing is BC really has no one to vote for anymore. We really don't have a choice because politics has morphed to extreme left or extreme right, there is no middle ground anymore, and we all know the south coast controls the vote and unfortunately they are extreme left as the last vote demographics showed.
