害羞草研究所業t害羞草研究所檚 going to kill the whole taxi industry害羞草研究所�: Protest at Uber hiring fair in Kelowna

Yellow taxi cabs and signs reading 害羞草研究所渟top Uber now,害羞草研究所� and 害羞草研究所渢axi life matters,害羞草研究所� were stationed in front of the Uber hiring fair at the Fairfield Inn and Suites in Kelowna on Nov. 2.

害羞草研究所淚 do not support Uber here, it is too small of a town. It害羞草研究所檚 going to kill the whole taxi industry, 害羞草研究所� said Zora Mahal, a driver with West Cab.

The protesters said that they do not want the ride-hailing app Uber to come to Kelowna, since it will create competition and reduce the ability for taxi drivers to earn money.

The Vernon man charged with robbing businesses across the Okanagan last year is dead.

Shawn Lamouroux was to be in court on Monday for six counts of robbery but all his files have been abated.

The term abated refers to the process for staying a file when prosecutors have a proper basis to believe the person is deceased, explained the BC Prosecution Service on Tuesday.

Hog farmers in the North Okanagan-Shuswap are having to reassess their operations following the recent closure of a Salmon Arm slaughter facility.

Rocana Meats abruptly closed its doors in August, forcing local producers to consider their options which, as far as abattoirs go, are increasingly few and far between and difficult to access.

Later this season, Revelstoke Mountain Resort (RMR) and Selkirk Tangiers Heli Skiing (STHS) will host a stop on the 2023 Natural Selection Tour, a competition featuring the world害羞草研究所檚 top snowboarders to compete in head-to-head competition.
