When the first words out of your friend’s mouth is oh shit insurance rates when you tell her about the fire in downtown Prince George. I seriously don’t think city or anyone understands that soon. Nobody is going to be able to afford to operate a business in downtown.

@JoshKelleyBC For me it’s granola bar boxes

I know private garbage collection is stupid, but sometimes I wish I could control my options because I would much rather have cardboard recycling every week and garbage every other week

Traveling and telling people your from Prince George - it’s just getting worse. Everyone seems to know of our Downtown situation, and the stories they tell

[B @DerksenKid]

When your traveling and look up the commercial leases in the area… no wonder Downtown Prince George is vacant, property owners want the same rent for rundown buildings on abandoned streets in PG as other more vibrant communities with denser populations

[B @DerksenKid]

If you can’t find a tenant for your building within five years… maybe you need to change the lease expectations. #cityofpg

small businesses have been dropping like flies this month - the first round being those who realized Black Friday wasn’t going to save them, and the second round being those who are a week out from Christmas and still down 40%

Pray for your small shop friends

Another progress report, another reminder that the “new method” is awesome and gives me great insight into my child’s progress.

Prince George might need a new arena, but less than 30% of us indicated it was a priority for the DOWNTOWN Civic core #cityofpg

[B @DerksenKid]

@trudy_klassen @Carter9Marty Well it won’t be a surprise when the city votes no during the referendum because our highest priority was mixed use residential and this plans shoves it in a tiny corner as an after thought.

[B @DerksenKid]

Did the city hire urban design planners for the civic core plan? Or just an intern? Because it’s giving bad #cityofpg

[B @DerksenKid]

Most years I get the courier to pick up during the holidays to avoid twenty minutes in line - not this year, they won’t pick up. Unfortunately the internet is more loyal than the #cityofpg so we stand in line to stay alive.

@CFIB Teamsters is challenging this move in court from August

@ckpgnews I didn’t think crayons were exempt… it’s art supplies not toys

[B @DerksenKid]

Hey @ShopifySupport I’m being told that your proposed GST holiday solution is going to mean my current tax exemptions will be nullified.

You know that somethings that are GST exempt require PST, and some things that are PST exempt will require GST. ☠️

Every year my kids school puts on a santa breakfast and every year I complain because why does Santa have to be involved. Why can’t it just be a winter holiday breakfast? Santa isn’t real

Everytime i open this app and see my politicians priority topics - I realize those dudes know jack shit about the world.

Like have you talked to someone other than your friends today?

My dad got 12 weeks of vacation in his job (not CUPW) and it was amazing.

Workers deserve amazing. Families deserve amazing. 7 weeks after 28 years is kinda embarrassingly low TBH. They deserve better.

[Tanev's Grill @tanevsgrill]

I worked, and processed vacation banks and payroll under this same union agreement.

You are eligible for 7 weeks vacation after 28 YEARS of uninterrupted employment. You start at 3 weeks.

Don't let a lobbyist convince you to hate regular workers. This is what they want.

Canadian government really be letting Canada Post destroy small businesses at the end of a rough year. We have so much stock stuck in the mail that we had to buy over again.

But when the railway went on strike - they ended that real quick #cityofpg

[B @DerksenKid]

@ShopifySupport there’s no category of children’s clothing. It’s baby and toddler and then adults. If you’re going to roll out this GST holiday system at least give us more options. Because I don’t categorize my kids products as baby and toddler. Fuck. So much work.
