Seniors speak out after violent home invasion

Canadian self defence laws protect criminals not the victims of crime. In the words of Adam Smith, mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent.

Library skylight replacement costs increase by $250k

If the lifespan of this new sky is 30-40 years. What is the estimated remaining lifespan of the rest of the building? I think this is important to know before hand.

More probation for man who breached probation order by possessing drugs

PrinceGeorgeCitizen

The last paragraph of this article doesn’t make sense. How is selling street drugs making an effort to rejoin society? Sounds like more hug a thug by the courts.

PrinceGeorgeCitizen

I think the headline is wrong. Shouldn’t it read Prince George man to pay 185K after assaulting North Vancouver man?

I was up in College Heights when I noticed the black smoke and thought I bet something was burning at the flats again. No surprise there.

Cariboo-Prince George Liberal candidate's signs damaged

PrinceGeorgeCitizen

These politicians when in office usually push environmental policies hard. But the amount of plastic waste from political campaigns signs is ridiculous and unnecessary. It’s time to stop this nonsense. I highly doubt anyone has decided to vote for a candidate based on seeing their sign on the side of the road. Don’t forget plastic straws bad, plastic bags bad. It’s hypocritical at the very least.

PrinceGeorgeCitizen

There’s no greater indictment of Judges than the fact that honest people are afraid to go to court, while criminals swagger out its revolting doors. Thomas Sowell.

Council denies residential substance treatment centre request for temporary use permit in College Heights

PrinceGeorgeCitizen

"Council voted 7-2 in support of administration’s recommendation that the application be turned down because the neighbourhood is designated RS2 Single Housing and is not zoned for supportive housing."That being said AiMHI runs many "supportive housing" programs/homes throughout the city in RS2 neighbourhoods. How is this any different?

Privacy concerns lead to change in rules for letters to council

PrinceGeorgeCitizen

How quickly we forget things. This concern over privacy is silly. Every household use to receive a phone book with everyone’s name, address and phone number. You now walk around with a device in our pockets that’s tracking everywhere you go. What you’re doing online, even what you’re talking about in the privacy of your home. Privacy is an illusion with the amount of technology monitoring us.

I don’t understand, have EV drivers been recharging their vehicles for free or is this $2 per hour in addition to what it costs to charge their vehicles?

Lost wallet return in PG neighbourhood shows honesty is still the best policy

PrinceGeorgeCitizen

It’s nice to hear these about things like this. There are some amazing and honest people in this town. I accidentally dropped $500 cash pulling my keys from my pocket in the Costco parking lot. Didn’t realize until I reached my next destination. So I returned to Costco on the off chance that it was turned in and to my amazement and relieve someone had turned it in. Saved my Christmas that year. So thank you to all the honest people who look out for their fellow citizens.

Target of wild chase sentenced to conditional sentence order

PrinceGeorgeCitizen

This is stunning. We have a federal government banning these "dangerous" weapons from law abiding citizens. But a criminal uses a firearm while evading police basically gets grounded. Must be one of those victimless crimes in the eyes of the courts.

Prince George RCMP explain response to complaint of man lighting fires, causing disturbance at Aquatic Centre

PrinceGeorgeCitizen

Move this incident to the doorstep of city hall and I’m sure you would have a completely different response by the RCMP. The RCMP no longer works for the people.

City of Prince George seeks input on stormwater plan

PrinceGeorgeCitizen

I noticed there is not a none of the above option on the survey. You have to pick one of the choices offered to progress through the survey. There needs to be an option to voice your disagreement with the scheme.

The heat wave is over, but smoky skies remain

PrinceGeorgeCitizen

"People more likely to be impacted by wildfire smoke include seniors, pregnant women and pregnant people…" Why the two descriptors. Only biological women can get pregnant. Stop the woke nonsense.
