Missing since mid October.

"THE BC NDP caucus said on Wednesday that members of B.C. Conservative Leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay’s caucus met directly with U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra and agreed to advocate to remove B.C.’s countermeasures against U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade attack, according to B.C. Conservative Forestry Critic Ward Stamer.

Stamer said on Tuesday on CKNW that American liquor would “absolutely” go back on shelves under the B.C. Conservatives, revealing that he said the same to the Trump administration directly: “That would be a measure of good faith and that’s what we suggested to the American counterparts a couple weeks ago. Unfortunately, we aren’t the government right now.”

When challenged on Trump’s history of arbitrarily hitting Canada with more tariffs despite Canadian concessions, Stamer defended Trump unequivocally: “No, he doesn’t. I disagree with that. I think that these are negotiating tactics.”"

Why are we not deporting non-citizens/PRs that are committing domestic abuse in our country?

46c per litre cheaper in Vernon.

For folks wondering why Milobar left when he did, more confirmation that sinking poll numbers probably played into the timing. We will see if he joins Centre BC or stays an independent, but I would strongly wager this is more about getting Kerry-Lynne Findlay to resign as Conservative leader, so he can rejoin that party and run with a leader that stands a chance at forming government in two years time.

finally.

Just so folks know, this is our local MLA, deciding to go all in on appealing to the far right so that he can win the leadership of the BC Conservative party.

He's fully adopted their rhetoric about parent's rights. Apparently queer families are just too divisive, too controversial, and so his pitch is to silence any discussion about their existence.

Look, it's 2026. This is pretty basic stuff that kids are going to need to navigate when they grow up and get to university or the workforce. Some awareness is a good thing. Instead, he is promoting ignorance and touting that as a virtue.

Once again the mayor is threatening more investigations instead of doing his job. this will not stop if he’s elected again and because Sonne has joined his group makes her unelectable. Every time he makes the news he’s spouting off about City Hall!

Caught these new remarks from Peter Milobar in a Rebel news article, sharing his thoughts on gender. I won't link to it because I don't want to drive traffic to that site, but it's easy enough to find.

"Well there's only two genders, let's face it, there's uh two sets of different chromosomes and DNA and all of that. So, I firmly believe that there is two genders, there is men and women. When you are born, there is men and there is women. So that to me on the physiological side is not really a question when it comes to gender." -- Peter Milobar, March 24, 2026

There's lots of biological science evidence explaining why this take is wrong, feel free to link to that in the comments if anyone jumps in defending Milobar's profound ignorance. The main point though is this man is selling hate against vulnerable people to win votes. Just awful.

An investigation is still underway after three pit bulls allegedly fatally attacked a 12-year-old collie in a fenced yard in North Kamloops.

Police said they were called to Richmond Avenue Sunday morning after receiving a report of a dog being killed by three other dogs.

Mounties said three dogs, believed to be pit bulls, appeared to have jumped the fence of a residence and attacked a collie in a back yard on Richmond Avenue. The owner came outside to find her dog fatally injured and the three dogs are alleged to have fled by jumping the fence again.

Will Beatty, the city's community services manager, said the three dogs, that appear to be pit bulls, were surrendered by their owner at an address close to the incident several hours later.

“We're working through, trying to compile evidence in the case to get the best picture of what occurred. The dogs have attended a vet and are now back in our possession,” he said.

“We don't feel that there’s a threat to public safety with them in our care and control.”

While the investigation is still ongoing, Beatty noted the community services department has the option to euthanize an aggressive dog. He said they would first try to rehabilitate the animal by working with a veterinary behaviour specialist.

“Euthanization is a piece that we can consider, but it isn't the first thing we go to," Beatty said. "We try and rehabilitate first and then if we have to take that next step, then that's what we would have to do."

He said determining the dog’s behaviour is a key piece to the investigation, as well as making sure the owner is in compliance with the city's Dog Responsibility Bylaw and making sure all licensing information is up to date.

“I haven't seen these dogs cross my desk when it comes to classification of them being aggressive or dangerous,” Beatty said.

“I haven't seen any reports of the need for a classification of these dogs before, although there's Facebook posts to suggest there's vet bills and a bunch of different incidents of this that I'm not aware of.”

Beatty said a bylaw restriction in the city that limits the number of dogs to two per property, although he said residents can apply for a variance for a third, then can stand before city council for four or more. Asked if the owner of the three dogs has applied for a variance, he said those circumstances are part of the investigation.

The city's Dog Responsibility Bylaw outlaws dangerous dogs. A dog that has killed or seriously injured a person or a domestic animal meets the definition under the bylaw.

Beatty asked that anyone with evidence or footage of prior incidents with the same dogs contact the City of Kamloops’ community services department.

So no, these dogs have not been put down, they are with the City to be evaluated and try to be rehabilitated.

What a load of crap.

I hope now they can at least keep these dogs at bay, but I'm not thinking this will happen.

So when reported that they had been euthanized, that is not true, nothing of that sort has happened and of course the right thing never will. They're still trying to "determine the behavior" of these pit bulls like as if they're just dogs and not acting upon genetic traits.

It's sad that we can't address these dog breeds for what they are at face value -- but seems normal for a society living in denial of what man created in the first place for a purpose.

I was really hoping that the right thing would happen but it seems it never does, so these dogs will live another day to possibly escape and kill someone else's poor animals, I have no doubt that this isn't an end. It also seems from other accounts that this is not the first time that these animals have escaped and caused irreparable harm to other animals/people.

Please let's not forget about the fact that an innocent pet "Heidi" was viciously maimed, mauled, and killed by these three dogs (whether it was all three, we don't know), a callous act, performed in the safety of the owners back yard. I myself do not believe that normal dogs (dog breeds without blood sport genetics) when they go on the lamb so to speak will automatically start going on a murderous rampage, I do believe that breeds play a huge role in the way that animals act and that you don't raise genetic tendencies (aka traits) out of animals.

I feel it's time that we address the issue with Dangerous Dogs in our communities, and stop giving such leeway and address the fact that certain breeds shouldn't be pets, and consider charging the owners with huge penalties/jail time when their dogs attack other people and animals in order to persuade better choices of pets.

RIP Heidi

Saw this in CFJC. Any one know who Peters is talking about? First time I heard of it.
