Canada is Not for Sale: The U.S. trade war against Canada is bad for America. More importantly to us, it’s also bad for Prince Rupert, bad for B.C., and bad for all of Canada. For Prince Rupert, the U.S. trade war will take a toll on our city’s economy.
With another months-long boil water notice finally lifted, it’s time to put in place measures for providing access to clean water, even during a boil notice. The city should consider providing a public filtered water station in a public location, like the lobby of City Hall, for when a notice is in place.
Prince Rupert needs a plan for rebuilding its public infrastructure, given the scale of the city’s public infrastructure deficit, which includes but is not limited to, the city’s crumbling public water and sewage system.
The city’s public library is locally run by a city-appointed board. Its role is to be a bedrock of democracy, by opening up access to information and ideas. Libraries build community, sustain democracy, and promote literacy.
I voted for the BC Conservatives in the 2024 election because health care in Prince Rupert needs fixing. Our city deserves universal services that work for everyone.
