Would sure like to hear some banter about PG gang activity, and people's experience of neighborhood drug houses.
No names, no actual house numbers please, but do share real scenarios!

Thanks!

A long needed bus stop was finally placed on 4th Avenue just west of Dominion. It was only in place for 14 days before being removed on Sept. 10th.

By being located at the mid point of a 5 block "no bus stop available" area, it appeared to be a logical place to provide essier public access to a large area of Downtown.

Good Public Transit helps to make a good community.

Business objected to the bus stop and so the city had it removed.

It appears that Downtown business feels that Public Transit is bad for business.

This web site no longer works with the Firefox web browser.... all the ads are superimposed on the content? Only with Internet Explorer now?

I noticed the choke point of the infrastructure for the city and the north has to be Domano... look at it now... what a mess... no bi-pass road existing for the busiest intersection in the north? Great planning folks... what ever happened to opening up the last 500 meters of Ospika to highway 16... that land has been cleared for that for over 20-years now and one would think it would have been done before closing down the Domano intersection considering the choke point it is to our road network.

As for gangsters... I had one hit my place again tonight a few minutes ago... big one about 250 pounds... try as he might my new garbage can contraption isn't quiet as easy as it was the first time around earlier this week. Better to get things under control before the word gets out and he comes back with his friends.... I don't think I've seen that last of him though.

re:Eagleone

Is Firefox the same as Mozilla Firefox?

I'm using Mozilla Firefox and this site works fine. I'm thinking that maybe you've adjusted your screen so that the website fills the whole monitor. I've done that and I got that superimposed look that you may be describing.

Just curious is all.

Go to View, Page Style and make sure that No Style does not have a checkmark.

The page you are watching must have a checkmark or dot, both in IE and Firefox.

So, why is the city still going ahead with the new RCMP facility, when it still needs to go through a referendum to borrow the money.

Rumor has it that, Once the building gets built, the new superintendent is looking to add another 15 million dollars a year for policing.

A smart man told me, What we need is a small police station in the Hart and College Heights. This way, we are not loosing two hours per man per day, for them to get started and finishing the shift by travelling to their patrol area. This alone will save us a bunch, and alleviate us from spending 45 million dollars plus another 15 million annually. Instead spend 20 million dollars and have less wastage of policing dollars.

Firefox is working fine for me as well. This site also works fine with Safari. But I did notice that this site doesn't work when viewed with the browser Opera. I get the overlapping that Eagleone mentioned.

I've never liked Opera anyways... and I'm not surprised this site doesn't render correctly when using it. I don't believe this is the only site Opera can't view correctly.... I've seen dozens of others as well. That's why I don't use it.

Opera can be a pain in the neck for website programers....

Firefox with Adblock Plus works fine for me, mind you I don't use Windows, give Linux a try and see if you like it, it's free.
Check the Library plenty of Books on it.

Comments made by He spoke makes a lotta (cents).

Opera?

That reminds me of this defintion by Ambrose Bierce:

"OPERA, n. A play representing life in another world, whose inhabitants have no speech but song, no motions but gestures and no postures but attitudes. All acting is simulation, and the word simulation is from simia, an ape; but in opera the actor takes for his model Simia audibilis (or Pithecanthropos stentor)--the ape that howls.

The actor apes a man--at least in shape;

The opera performer apes an ape.

"Rumor has it that, Once the building gets built, the new superintendent is looking to add another 15 million dollars a year for policing."

Kind of a far fetched rumour - doubling the policing costs. The secret to good rumours is to make them believable. Say, $5 million???

Public transport is NOT bad for business but would you want a bus idling in minus 30 degree weather in front of your business? Would you want people coming into your business to stay warm when it's minus 30 degrees (try asking them to leave)? Would you want people constantly coming in and asking for bus change while you are trying to run a business? I think NOT!

Exactly, Greta. Add to that the loss of 4 prime parking spots.

"A smart man told me, What we need is a small police station in the Hart and College Heights. This way, we are not loosing two hours per man per day, for them to get started and finishing the shift by travelling to their patrol area. "

See economies of scale.

Also consider how often you see a patrol car outside of the bowl.

So no. I doubt it would be cost effective.

Also consider how often you see a patrol car outside of the bowl.

Would that not be justification enough to have stations on each side of the town?

I have noticed that when we have these mega projects any gains to be had from economies of scale are negated by excessive and unneeded additions of everything to satisfy everyone's wants that forces budget overruns to double the original budget.

KISS principle and centralized services are really at odds. Centralized services means those closest to the service get some service, those furthest away benefit the least. So I am not buying into the economies of scale.

One must remember that every time business starts yammering about benefits this or benefits that, it is really benefits for business and everyone else can have the dregs.

Since the upgrade I can't view the site properly on my 20" mac using firefox. Everything is off to the right and the ads cover the comments. I can view it fine on my lap top pc using firefox, so could it be a screen size issue?

If I go to view no style is not selected, and the only other option is opinion250 which is selected. If I check no style it flips everything over to the right and is unreadable.

Glad I got some reaction off of the cop shop.

So who is moving into the old Kal Tire shop on 22nd.

It is quite an extensive renovation being done on it. I don't remember it going by Design Panel with the City. Not even the neighbours know who is moving in.

That is quiet the foundation they are putting in to support a fence around it.

I suppose if you are the law, you can operate above the rules followed by the common people.

You may go to the Firefox website and follow the prompts to the user comments and/or technical issues/troubleshooting section.

I had to do that once and I found a solution pretty quick.

Well, it is free4all and the topic seems to be computers. Specifically users trying to use a web page.

The internet standard for HTML was proposed to the IEEE by Microsoft. Trouble is that Microsoft does not follow those standards in its own browser. Very few developers follow the standards as well. So one cannot expect all web pages to display the same way in every browser.

Next: not all browsers are created equal, get over it.

It is quite commendable for people to try out these new fangled toys every one else is using. Here is a hint, IT IS NOT A TOY! It is a tool and as such users need to LEARN HOW TO USE THE TOOL! By this I mean one cannot expect to pickup a new complex gizmo and expect to be proficient with it immediately. Take a class for god's sake and learn the difference between kilo, mega and giga.

All computers work with bits and bytes. A bit represents a switch or a gate with two discreet states, on or off, yes or no, true or false, 0 or 1. A byte or byte-word is 8 bits combined into a single entity in order to represent more complex representations, 256 actually (0 to 255). Kilo = 1,000 thousand
mega = 1,000,000 million
giga = 1,000,000,000 billion

A hertz (Hz) is the number of cycles per second. 1 HZ = 1 cycle per second. We are now using gigahertz (GHz) computers like 3.0 GHz processors or three billion cycles per second. Tranlation: 3,000,000,000 things happen every second.

Learn what F1 is and how to use it. Every thing you need to know is already at your fingertips.

If it works on one computer but not on another, it is settings: [whatever program] Tools menu ~ Options

I have the same problem as EagleOne using Mozilla Firefox on Linux. If I go to View->Page Style->No Style the overlap is eliminated but the page looks awful. The "improvement" has made this site all but unusable for me. Go back to the old version until you can get the new one done correctly.

There is no reason that a site of this type should not work properly with any of the major browsers. If it doesn't work correctly with Opera, that is a sign of defective programming. Opera is by far the most conformant with web standards. If something doesn't work with Opera, it is a virtual guarantee that it is not standard-conforming.

HTML was neither developed nor standardized by Microsoft. It was originally developed by Sir Tim Berners-Lee at CERN. The first specification was developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force. The organization now responsible for the HTML standard and other web standards is the World Wide Web Consortium. (The HTML specification also became an ISO standard, but it is W3C that is the active standards organization for the web.)

I did not say HTML was developed by MS. I said the the standards for it was proposed by MS to the global standards organization that is called IEEE. Tech savvy folks would catch the minute difference.

He spoke "who is moving into the old Kal Tire shop on 22nd."

The RCMP and their "gang squad"

It seems like this site is slowly but surely fizzling out anyway.

Anyone now what gives the police the right to stop you in a road block when you are doing nothing wrong. How about being stopped in your boat for a so called safety check when doing nothing wrong. Who says we don't live in a third world police state where they do nothing wrong but everyone else is guilty of something. I think they are paranoid group and paranoid people usually have something to hide.

Everyone got their boaters card for that high speed electric trolling motor.

Least but not least thank you to the ATV'ers for destroying the trails in the college hts area, mighty neighborly of ya.

Found this great description of the UN in how the globull warming activists took over the UN. AGW stands for anthropogenic global warming.



As others have noted AGW is a socio-political phenomena. But we shouldn’t forget that the AGW phenomena was engineered by the United Nations.

While many people on both the right and left think their national politicians are venal and corrupt, there are large numbers especially on the left who think that everything that comes out of the UN must be good and right. Despite it being run by unelected relatives of third world leaders of dubious legitimacy and staffed by various shades of political activists, with no democratic oversight at all.

A corrupt and incompetent UN allowed global warming activists who saw an opportunity for large scale wealth transfers and global economic engineering to hijack the IPCC, and the rest, as they say, is history.

The door bell just rang and I answered it. It was a couple of elementary school brats trying to interest me in purchasing a catalogue to help them with a playground project. Question is; Is there gonna be a large part of the schools population out soon panhandling the public fer dough for every provincial government shortfall in funding? Bottle drives, car washes, sponsors in foot races, selling chocolates outside every merchants door? "C'mon mister, give us poor kids some dough so we can have a playground." I for one will wait and see about this.

Jayda, I can't help with the Firefox issues but everything renders just fine using Safari . . .

Firefox displays this site on my PC without any problems, as do Internet Explorer and Google Chrome.

Google Chrome is the fastest of them all.

I would still like to know how much Versa Designs was paid for doing the plans for the proposed so called wellness center and how much it's going to cost and do the tax payers want to spend the money on this project? Maybe the council members should ask us.Could this be one mans big dream?
