Disorder and thefts are taking an emotional and economic toll on Kelowna business owners said Kevin Duggan, Kelowna's community safety services manager. He offered that during a community impact statement before the sentencing of a man named Victor Goyer.
Goyer, who didn't have a long record, was behind a string of 4 petty thefts and a break and enter. The break and enter came about from removing a piece of plywood over a window. “We've heard from business owners, managers and staff that the frequency of this crime type in their neighbourhood, break and enters, is causing great distress,” Duggan said.
Why would Kelowna taxpayers be paying Kevin Duggan $100,435 per year to attend minor criminal matters to cry like a little old woman? Every word the overpaid knob spewed was ignored 100% by the court as there was a plea deal made. This City employee must be getting good at crying if this is his full-time profession. Here.
What should be causing 'great distress' is what this team is costing taxpayers.
Darren Caul, Community Safety Director - $203,162
Kevin Mead, Bylaw Services Manager - $156,184
Kevin Duggan, Community Safety Services Manager - $100,435
Colleen Cornock, Social Development Manager - $122,550
After much pushback from bent over Kelowna voters, the brainiacs at Kelowna City hall have changed course and removed the entry fee for it's business community safety forum. “ ... the event will now be free,” the City of Kelowna said in a press release.
The event includes a 'fireside chat'. One wonders if screaming bonehead Tom Dyas will be in attendance for that to splain his dopey self. This episode shows clearly how hopelessly out of touch Tom Dyas is. The man is a disgrace.
Citizens of Kelowna are responding to news that their grossly overpaid 'do nothing' politico shitbags are juicing them for $5. ($4.55 base price + $0.45 service charge
All above prices are in CAD and include GST.) Here.
The City of Kelowna thought charging business owners $5 to attend a forum on crime and social disorder was brilliant. Anybody refusing to pay for the priviledge will likely be told to fuk off and if they fail to do that will probably be arrested for creating social disorder.
Uber lame duck MLAs of the imploding B.C. Conservatives have jumped on the 'Social Disorder' bandwagon with the ridiculously overpaid knob Darren Caul. MLAs Kristina Lowen, Macklin McCall and Gavin 'Fuzzy' Dew are calling on the business community to come forward and share their insight. WTF these dead useless aretards plan to do about it is a mystery.
“This town hall is a result of business owners speaking out, saying we are dealing with so much and this is not sustainable anymore,” Kelowna Centre MLA Kristina Loewen spewed. City of Kelowna community safety director aka goofy face Darren Caul offered his many assurances that he and council has made public safety a top priority.
Caul said the expensive new initiatives, which include enhanced downtown patrols, closer collaboration with business groups and the launch of the community-led crisis response program, will save the day. Neither he nor corrupt mayor Tom Dyas is saying what its all costing. "We're calling a knock and talk initiative. This initiative allows us to meet our businesses where they are at, knocking on their doors and listening to their concerns." Riiiiight.
For those citizens in Kelowna concerned about their property taxes increasing over 4% every single year to pay for insulting talking heads like Darren Caul, the meetings are scheduled for Feb. 5 at 6 p.m., downtown on Ellis at Revelry.
“Everyone is invited. If you want your voice heard, we want to see you there,” said the TERRIBLE fashion sense Kristina Loewen. A commentator sums it up "Aren't these pathetic, lazy frauds supposed to be working in Victoria?"
Add up what the terrible trio get paid ($119k) and fukface Darren Caul ($186k) and that's over $540K per annum from taxpayers.
Asshole Kelowna community safety director Darren Caul (dcaul@kelowna.ca) says new arrivals to Kelowna, especially basterd migrants from the Prairies, are responsible for the current massive social disorder in downtown Kelowna. Caul says new arrivals are often unaware of the "expectations” he and Tom Dyas place on them. In 2022 the career knob was pulling down $151,087 per annum. The latest number is a truly stomach turning $186,900.
The city tightened rules on the ‘tent city’ along the Rail Trail. Numbers living there plummeted, with some 24 there today.
People were limited to two tents, one bike and one dog, visitors were prohibited, fencing was put up, and fires were banned. People had to sign a ‘good neighbour agreement’ in order to use washrooms and access water. On-site security was increased, and belongings were checked regularly for stolen property. Naturally the homeless fukked off.
"These are largely new faces, new individuals in our city that we are seeing in our downtown,” he spewed. Caul and Kelowna RCMP Supt. Chris Goebel gave a press conference. It turns out Kelowna crime numbers are actually down, not up. That truth doesn't help the career prospects of grossly over paid City of Kelowna employees/assholes nor corrupt mayors in an election year.
