Dog Owners: The City has finally announced the open houses for off leash space. It really is important that you take the opportunity to make yourselves heard.

If you think there's no connection between Monday's visit by Prime Minister Stephen Harper to the flood ravaged Richelieu region of Quebec and Monday's federal budget, think again.

Councillor Skakun found guilty and gets a fine of less than $1,000. Once again, money being wasted. Could the City of Prince George not looked into this a bit more before wasting so much money. Maybe the Citizen can find out how much this trial cost.

With the exception of Brian Skakun, all I see is a group that only unites when they can squeeze us (the taxpayer) for another dime. Funny how united this council is when it comes to squeezing another one out of us.

Re: Skakun, Chamber and the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. Imagine the temerity of a member of the public, probably a woman, walking into the RCMP Detachment with allegations of harassment against Dahl Chambers, then Supt.

Hike of the week

I have been reading your on-going, National Enquirer simulation of the unfounded and boring accounts of wrongdoing, (hanky panky) within our local civil service and the ensuing childish finger pointing, allegations and court cases.

There's one question surrounding Canada Post workers' rotating strike - who cares? That's not meant facetiously... that is a serious question on lips across the country.

Brian Skakun is guilty of what, trying to help people? What he did was wrong, but he did not murder anyone or rape anyone, and this mess should not have been in the court system.

A Times Colonist editorial thought it "baffling" that the government has repeatedly refused to set out a plan to reduce poverty.
