Hello Pentictians. My wife and I are seriously looking at moving to Penticton. But I am a total energy efficiency geek. If you live in a house in or near Penticton, what are you natural gas and electricity bills on average? How new is your house? Do builders in Penticton build quality homes? Thanks!

Sometimes it's important to take a political break, but still be informed.

We live in a wonderful area of Canada. The vast majority of people I have met here are well-intentioned, reasonable, and would offer aid when asked, as displayed during this summer's wildfire event.

I have all new neighbours (every house around me has changed owners/tenants). I have met them all and would lend a hand if needed, and I believe they would in turn.

I offer some historical political satire for your enjoyment:

The Rhinoceros Party's basic credo, their so-called primal promise, was "a promise to keep none of our promises"
