Most years, the Super Bowl and the conclusion of the NFL season feels like a finale, as it should.

Premier John Horgan last week attempted to deliver a rosy outlook during his keynote address to the Natural Resources Forum in Prince George. Nevertheless, most in the room were left feeling unconvinced that the future may be bright in B.C.

I recently had the honour of once again attending the BC Natural Resources Forum in Prince George and joining MLA Shirley Bond and Mayor Lyn Hall in welcoming attendees to our region.

Super Bowl 53 was a dud, there’s no way around that awful truth. The New England Patriots beat the Los Angeles Rams 13-3 in a very forgetful and upsetting (for me, at least) championship game.

For most of my life, I never gave much thought about healthcare services and how they were delivered, other than when I was mayor of Chetwynd, and Northern Health wished to convert Chetwynd’s hospital into a health clinic.

It is a New Year and a new decade, which provides a proverbial clean slate to achieve those New Year resolutions.

GRAVITY GAG: We begin this news chewing session with a mystery. Scientists say an unexplainable burst of gravitational waves hit our planet. They don't know where the gravity waves came from.

I need some guidance about something. I need to know if my annoyance with a societal trend is one of those #okboomer moments, or if it’s an irritation that has no generational boundaries.

It only took Premier John Horgan two and a half years to finally make his way up to northern B.C to visit a region he has failed to tour since first first taking office in 2017.

Our region deserves better than this and when it comes to a caribou recovery plan it’s time for Premier John Horgan and federal Environment Minister Jonathan Wilkinson to fish or cut bait.
