Moore's Meadow rezoning passes first three readings
14“Rezoning the subject area to P1 at this stage would establish a parks and recreation land use expectation before the city has completed the technical analysis necessary to determine the most appropriate long-term use of the lands,” the report said.How dare we the citizens decide what to use our land for.....

12The nurses should not have to picket to get a pay raise , what would we do with out them? They also should be working in a SAFE hospital. To the nurses out there -thank you for your service and hard work I know you jobs are not easy.

Financial advisor McLaren launches council campaign
7Good luck on a successful campaign.Municipal overspending isn't unique to PG but is a problem in every B.C. municipality and elsewhere in Canada.Ask Mayor Yu , city council, and any city manager if they would be in favor of the Province reinstating the Office of the Municipal Auditor and their answer would be an absolute no.Just as the media has extensively reported about the obscene salaries city managers, mayors, and directors make in metro Vancouver, P.G. is no different.Will any of P.G.'s city administration take a paycut with Northwood's closure shrinking the City's tax revenue ?Absolutely not.So good luck McLaren in fighting the city establishment and CUPE.Let's find out if your tough talk is all bark and no bite and you'll end up in the same rut as everyone else at the City.At least your ego will get the boost it craves, that's the reason most get into politics in the first place.

Province intends to add 3,500 new EV chargers by 2035

8Congratulations Dan for throwing your hat in …I definitely vote for you …the key to getting anything done is to have a majority in council that think the same …you could be the one to tip the scales …being in the same industry ( until I retired )…you have always had the utmost integrity and not afraid to get outside the box to think different …..and a drive to accomplish what you set out to do,go go 🙏🙏

9His proposal for the City to hire four lawyers to litigate on behalf of the City is intriguing.Why settle on four ? Does McLaren have four lawyer friends or acquaintances that have done work for him in his private and business life ?City Manager Babicz is a former lawyer who worked for Wilson King back in the day.Does McLaren propose paying each of the four lawyers to compensate them for the loss of their private practice ?If so, the going rate is $ 326,000 annual salary each, what City Manager Babicz gets paid by the PG taxpayer now.So I suppose McLaren is suggesting the City pay four times that amount or $ 1.3 million dollars annual salary total for four city employee lawyers.Never trust a man who loves the sound of his own voice and loves to be on TV.

8“It was a fun time” is exactly why some people are losing sympathy. Industrial action may be necessary, but every reduction in patient care increases risk for patients. There’s nothing funny about that.

Category 1 campfires banned throughout the Cariboo Fire Centre
4In my opinion, campfires should be banned throughout the whold province during these heat spells we are getting. Oh and before you whine and cry, yes my family and I do go camping.

8That is the worse decision that council has agreed on. . I don't understand how they can decide on such a thing without having the public's view on this... May go out and get the public's view on this matter. The entertainment world will be suffering iover this decision, as there will not be any non smokers going to these events, and really I believe there are more non smokers out there than there are smokers. Instead of going forward, it seems like Prince George is going backwards

8Ya, but unfortunately they can’t get a raise whenever they decide they need one either. I don’y know enough about how much nurses get paid, so I don’t really have an opinion on this. But I am sure like many other public sector jobs, they are likely doing better than most private sector employees. The sad truth is, nobodies wages have kept up with inflation in decades and that is even more the case now. They are just fortunate to be essential and employed by the government, during a time when many peoples jobs are ending and they can picket without the fear of loosing their job. Not really sure whats going to happen. Look at all of the shuttered business in town, all the people driven into homelessness by the cost of living and Canada's many failing industries. And I am forced to ask, how will taxpayers continue to shoulder the tax burden of an ever expanding public sector, who demands more, in a time when many are having to get by on less?

Council decides smoking on stage might be OK
8Is this seriously the garbage council is wasting their time with? People are smoking fentanyl in the streets and alleys all over the city and there is debate on whether a cigarette could be smoked during a play?

7@BGeez - What's s the typical level of education for a pulp mill worker? There are skilled trades like boilermakers, pipefitters, welders, electricians, millwrights et cetera, they will easily find new jobs.The "unskilled"? Those in that category have been gradually replaced by automation, computers for decades. It is unfortunate, but the days where someone could drop out of high-school and find a great job are disappearing fast.Nurses? 4 year degree minimum. Most will require secondary specialty training and certification. They deal with dangerous viruses and bacteria, pain, suffering, and death. Attrition due to burnout is atrocious. They are worth every penny.
