Buddy Systems will save the day in North Battleford

So the mayor of North Battleford figures we should have a “buddy system” when venturing downtown. This is in light of a “recent report” that shows our city’s downtown is an “area of concern”. Maybe a recent stabbing led them to carry out this report. Maybe it’s the fact that downtown NB has been a slime pit for years!

“It might be public awareness of buddy systems, ensuring that people are aware of their surroundings and go for walks with a buddy all the time,” Hamilton said.

Next time I have to go deposit some money at the bank, I’ll be sure to call up my friends and see if any of them are available to walk with me. That will keep me safe.

He also said more police officers could be assigned to walk the downtown streets.

There “could” be more officers assigned to walk the beat? How about, there WILL be. Starting NOW!

Or, how about getting rid of that disgusting bingo hall and the putrid pawn shops that plague that unfortunate street? Those pieces of shit don’t belong downtown. Move them away from the center of the city, which should be the heart of the city, and draw the unemployed slobs away from it.
