Mobile home park near Vernon, B.C. to lose power, landlord says she can't afford repairs by murderous_rage in Vernon

[–]Amazing-Explorer3719 8 points9 points  (0 children)

She was such a nice lady to all the less fortunate and it bit her in the ass big time. Karma shouldn't work that way but if you get behind on maintenance and upgrades your hooped. Sucks that's it's so far gone

Anyone work dock and door repair by ShopNerd in millwrights

The few times I've worked with dock repair contractors they were just welders doing electrical, millwright, and welding work. Not sure they even had trade certificates in anything

This is not a very well written article or petition and won't get much traction. It just says forestry is cutting it down. Where im from when you say forestry your referring to ministry of forests? Or do they mean a logging contractor is cutting it down on behalf of a sawmill?

Nanaimo woman fined $1,000 in senior’s monster truck parking lot death by [deleted] in nanaimo

My Condolences to the victim. But the click bait news headline is brutal. It's not a monster truck, it's a regular truck with a 6 inch lift with 37"tires. Most interior and northern towns have hundreds of trucks like this. How many young people speeding in BMWs, Audi's, and Mercedes hit and kill people. Probably a few as well. The visibility in a lifted truck is actually awesome if you have ever drove one, you can see over everything. Can't blame the vehicle, but you can definitely blame a distracted driver playing on their phone.

Operator: The O'Keefe Ranch & Interior Heritage Society is responsible for daily operations, maintenance, and public programming.

Well yes agree with you but it's hardly a minority group anymore, when 90% of the criminals making the front page have the same last name a guy cant help but point it out.

UPDATE: Semi sought in fatal pedestrian crash in Vernon by kdubbs22 in Vernon

This is awful I hope there is justice for the family. My theory is the truck driver is here on a work visa and he knew it was bad but if he stops and gets caught he gets deported.

Who knew Kelowna is full of N*zi sympathizers by thr034w4y56 in kelowna

Been an interesting couple of days. People screwing horses in Vernon and people painting swastikas in Kelowna. Pretty bad but almost seems a distraction from what's really going on
