Yippee! More Taxes!
Bike lanes insufficient I do agree there is a lack of bike lanes as well as enforcement in Kelowna. Construction provides jobs but costs are high, in turn...
Bridge poker
Time's up: Pontoon project sunk What a hand to play by the bridge pontoon owners, and it looks as if the bluff has our great minds at City Hall looking to see...
HST good for us? Hogwash!
In this time in our country and around the world, economies are in the worst condition they have been in for many years. Food prices and all of the essentials...
No place for humans
With all the new bylaws, rules, and just plain garbage coming from the City, I think it is time to outlaw humans from this area. They have chased out or stopped...
Traffic congestion solution?
Kelowna's rapid growth as a business, tourist, secondary education and retirement hot spot has brought us to realize our future with traffic congestion...
Surely we can share the road
Bike lanes insufficient The City has worked hard to put in bike lanes, and I appreciate the new bike lanes in South East Kelowna. However, as Laura says (letter...
I""d be grumpy and not amused
City's logo has striking similarity I was very amused to see that the ‘inverted pine-cone’ - the new logo for the City of Kelowna - is absolutely a copy of...
Let this be a lesson learned

The HST Tax Grab
The odds of winning a Readers Digest lottery are far better than for Carol James’s HST petition having any affect on the government. James vowed to reject her...
Just say NO!
To substantiate my opposition to the grab tax of the HST I wish to paraphrase my friend, a retired chartered accountant, who did the math based upon his...
