There seems to be a new and shocking revelation each day from the Senate spending scandal, whether it's about Prime Minister Stephen Harper, his office and staff, or Senators Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin, Patrick Brazeau and Mac Harb.

Thank you to the incredibly-kind and generous lady that paid part of our dinner bill at Kelly O'Bryans because our baby "made your day." What a wonderful way to make our night as well and a fun story to tell our son when he is older.

Food banks are a self-fulfilling prophecy. Politicians can't say no to such proposals due to the political negativity that would result, essentially it is extortion.

I was both surprised and impressed when council decided to abandon plans for paid on-street parking in downtown Prince George. I firmly believe Prince George has an enforcement problem, not a parking problem. I began working downtown in March 2012.

I'm not for a second going to pretend like Lou Reed had any sort of real effect on my life. I knew he was an incredibly influential musician and that many of today's greatest artists looked to him as an inspiration.

Lou Reed was so cool that when he did a 60-second commercial for Honda in 1986, promoting their scooter, nobody had the nerve to call him a sellout.

So we will all have to pay more for storm sewers, isn't that in our utility tax bills that have been raised steadily over the last number of years? What about the areas that don't have storm sewers in their neighborhoods? We probably still pay.
