West Kelowna cops crack down on unruly electric dirt bike riders
From the article: "So far, they've spoken with nearly two dozen riders, mostly kids, and issued just two tickets for 'repeat offenders.'"
Well done. That will show them.

Kamloops mayor could soon be earning less than minimum wage
He wouldn't be in this mess if he'd act like an adult instead of a spoilt child having a tantrum every other day. But he just doesn't seem to be able to help himself, so I guess he goes broke.

I think it has been absolutely disgusting how council has treated the mayor since he took office in Kamloops. There has been a long time running issue with Kamloops council and the previous mayor, and it's time Kamloops cleans house and elects a full new council or nothing will change in Kamloops to correct the damage these people have done.
Because of the poor actions of city council, the city is at some of the worst crime rates and homeless drug addiction ever. The mayor gets no support in his attempt to make a difference and clean Kamloops up. The entire time he has been in it has been a fight to dismantle his fight for a safe city and it is why everyone voted him in is to make needed changes.
I have stood in front of this council many times in the past with the previous mayor and the council is vile and only in it for themselves, they shut down any attempt for the public to speak and give their input, they have a far left approach and it's clear that people voted against this idea. So the question is what do Kamloops citizens do to change this if their votes don't matter for what is wanted.

Good. We don't need Trump cult groupies preaching hate in Canada.

Kootenay man who assaulted senior loses appeal over $1,400 in restitution
What a coward. I bet he spent his whole sentence in protective custody.

Driver doing 218 km/h near Kelowna nabbed after passing cop car
My opinion? People doing that speed need to be jailed and have to pay bail to get out. You do over 100 mph in California you are charged with a felony. Might stop the men from doing this.
— Helen Price, via iNFOnews.ca
A minor fine for someone possibly causing death to innocent people. How about a long suspension of driving privileges and some time in jail.

Alberta driver tells Merritt RCMP he was speeding to 'save on gas'
Considering the risk to life, the fines are way too small. Especially a toddler with no seat belt. Ridiculous!

BC teacher who got into tug-of-war with student reprimanded
What a pile of crap! They should give Chen a medal and kick the kid out of the school! Who would want to be a teacher these days?

Supporters head for B.C. ostrich farm as it plans top court appeal to stop cull
The farm has been invited on numerous occasions to produce evidence of actual research. They can't do it. Instead they rely on theories that are put forward by people who have surfed the internet at length, but have not actually had formal education leading to an advanced degree in virology. Those who have spent a lifetime in this very specialized discipline uniformly identify the cull as being the only smart action. They don't hate birds, they don't hate these people, they are speaking from a perspective based on actual science. The selfishness of the farm owners, and those who support them, is remarkable.

BC judge gives Edmonton businessman three years for raping drunk family friend
We've always known Darren Sorensen was a violent, insidious, devious, twisted, evil, and warped little man. It's always the churchgoing ones too, like they think they can be forgiven for vile behaviour if they believe in their funny man in the sky.
Hopefully BoonTek goes under. It should not continue to exist if this rapist is profiting from its continued existence.
