Announcement r/Kamloops rule update

132 Upvotes

Hey r/Kamloops,

The mod team is introducing a new rule effective immediately:

We will be removing Facebook reposts and posts that are primarily focused on creating or amplifying drama.

These types of posts don’t belong here. This subreddit is meant for discussion about Kamloops -local news, events, questions, recommendations, community updates, and genuine conversation. Low-effort Facebook screenshots, crossposts that just dump drama, and posts designed to stir conflict will be removed at the moderators’ discretion.

A few notes:

Sharing a local news article or official announcement is fine.

Thoughtful discussion of local issues is encouraged.

Simply copy-pasting Facebook posts or using the sub to host personal beefs is not.

We understand people want to talk about what’s happening in town, but the constant cycle of Facebook drama dumps has been lowering the quality of the sub. We’re tightening this up to keep things more useful and less toxic.

Thanks for understanding. As always, if you have questions or concerns, feel free to modmail us.

The r/Kamloops Mod Team

Question Frank Caputo

12 Upvotes

All this news about politics has got me to thinking, What ever happened to my Member of Parliament?? I think his name was... Frank Caputo?? Do I have that right??

Is he alive?? Is he dead?? Should we report him as missing?? Do I need to call the police?? Would I call Kamloops RCMP or the cop shop in Ottawa?? Did he step down from his position?? Was he replaced??

More importantly, is he actually DOING anything for his riding?? Is he still flying?? Like a lot? Like, A LOT, A LOT?!?

With the BC Conservatives taking power and local MLAs like Peter Milobar likely heading into government or cabinet roles, what do you think this means for our city? What local issues or projects do you hope to see prioritized first?

News Things starting to get tough

40 Upvotes

Just in case you all didn’t know, Savona Specialty Plywood laid off a majority of its forces Thursday for the foreseeable future while prolonging contract negotiations. Contract ended Jan 1st 2026. SSP kept missing meetings or cancelling negotiations making sure they fell right in bounds of not bargaining in bad faith.
It seems very ironic they wanted to sign the new contract just before they laid off over 65% of their employees.

EDIT: the current contract allows management the ability to move stat holidays around in the name of production. There is no shift differential. First aid only makes an extra .80 an hour which is lowest in Canada.

Politics Will the NDP and supporters learn from this?

0 Upvotes

This is an X-post from u/ill-Mountain7527 but I just thought it was well written and really speaks to what's going on right now(Especially on Reddit). Personally I have voted for the BC Liberals, the first John Horgan NDP and now for the first time the BC Cons. I have found it very interesting to hear from people why they vote for just one party and that's it! This round for me I voted for the BC Conservatives as I saw them offer the most realistic outlook for BC, and when the Federal election comes up I will most likely be voting for the Federal Liberals.

Really interesting to me how much of a split there was between regions of the city. The north shore not electing a single incumbent, while the south shore would have re-elected five.
