Well said and I agree. However, there needs not to be a dog pile on who is 'dumb' on one side or the other, they both have their buckets full. Hashtag no facts.

I agree, the left and the right have no shortage of stupidity. And rather than negotiate and come to reasonable choices, each side is digging in more firmly and decisions are become more extreme.

Left wing cognitive dissonance provides the fuel to create more right-wing drones.

Regardless, education plays 99.99999999999% of the role on why we are here where we are today. Everything else is a red herring.

Education does play a large role. I've always been around education so I find it surprising when people aren't educated. I am always amazed when I am in an area where finishing grade 12 is a big deal. I grew up thinking that was the very basic amount of education one would get and that it was virtually a given. I definitely do not take education for granted and I sometimes feel bad knowing others may not have had the opportunities I had for education and try not to judge them for it.

Education is more than learning a skill that is viable for work. It is critical thinking, which unfortunately is lacking in society. It does not mean that people need to come to agreement over topics, but each side or opinion needs to be developed critically and not but using #alternativefacts.

Agree criminally negligent, failure to provide, etc…. She will go to jail…

As will the deplorables from the other story from today. Mom decides that she's had enough of the boyfriend and takes off without a trace, leaving her 13 year old daughter with him and his son - who chained her up in the basement and raped her for a couple years.

Mom's response?

I havent seen her for a few years - I dont know where she is.

The kicker is that they're going defend themselves with the Bible. PHONEBOOKS HILLBILLIES. You dont get hit by bats over the Bible, you get hit over PHONEBOOKS.

If you're born into the wrong family your fcked.

thats f'ing sick. How are there so many cases of people who lock up children for rape.

so how,s that working out for us ??

After one year, I wouldn't say much has changed financially. Hey has and some PR blunders, but financially has he changed anything? I think the concern with O'Leary is that he would make big changes, and it would likely be for the worse.

I believe I have the classic bibs… I got them four years ago now so I don't remember specifically.

No doubt Rapha gets a premium mark-up on other brands gear. They used Giro shoes with slight differences and they are more than Giro.

That being said, their bib shorts are easily the best bibs I have ever used on the road.

What possible local tax revenue is generated by buying gas?

Food? Really? A local economy based on burgers and french fries. Forget attracting the Cnadian head office of google. Start a food cart.

And hotels? There is ONE hotel in the DNV

Why not do both? not everyone in north van can work at google, nor would they be qualified. Anyone can be a server though and they still need work. The restaurant industry is a pretty good one.

Our local economy is based on selling real estate but yet I do not work in that industry.

Too many laughs

Mayor of Fort St. John should probably stick to Mayor things

I don't necessarily see anything wrong with that. Of course she is pro oil and gas.

I am probably neutral on pipelines. I see their benefit, I see their potential risk and I understand the point of view that using oil and gas is leading to climate change. However, north america isn't doing a very good job moving from oil and neither are developing countries. Both the private user and government should make efforts to reduce their consumption and it is arguably easier for the government to lead.

However, many of the people who I know are anti pipeline ride their bikes to work and try to reduce consumption, which I applaud. But then they have no trouble driving 300 km round trip to skin in the Duffey, or make trips into the interior, or to fly. I am not judging as I also fall into this category and understand that I use a fair amount of oil even though I don't drive to work.

I am glad they approved KM vs NG. If you are going to approve one, this is by far the better option. Vancouver isn't pristine compared to the north coast and there are a heck of a lot of people here to report a spill.

Apparently you still can't read the articles you've posted as back ups to your sarcastic bullshit… This was the sole fault of the excavator operator not following procedure from how I read that, all pipelines need to be day lighted by hand for a locate then excavated after… not their fault that some schlup on a hoe rushed his job or some guy in an office assumed based on a 1957 drawing where a line was. Always physically locate the line before digging. Period.

this. And AW, a locator using EM should be able to find a metal pipe. As builts are notoriously wrong and if in doubt, daylight with a hydro-vac.

Even with incorrect set backs, they should have retained an utility locate contractor. To be fair, I am not sure that they didn't. I just think that it should have been pretty easy to locate.
