Maybe. Doug Ford has rubbed out two significant architectural icons of Ontario's cultural history for the benefit of no one save a marginally solvent spa company run by his former staffers and his wealthiest financiers and only a whimper was heard. #onpoli #FordFailedOntario

civic religion is a thing and that’s the mfing temple right there

but people really do care about buildings
i’m gonna be honest you guys are a little more broken up about the white house than i would have expected people to be

Trump: "By the way, a friend of mine called us the other day and he said 'I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have because of the Democrat shutdown. I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have with the military.' Today, he sent us a check for $130 million. It's gonna go the military."

Bill 212 wasn't enough. Now the Government of Ontario plans to handcuff municipalities from making meaningful decisions about their roads and block the construction of any new bike lanes that would involve road reconfigurations. Read more:

Another reason for the government shutdown…no oversight/permits on

Havent seen it pointed out that not only there are no permits or anything for this, I am highly doubtful there are final architectural plans, that takes a LONG time to plan. This isn't a patio job

Meaning, it's going to be an empty lot for awhile

The loss of the eastern collonade hurts. It was built by Thomas Jefferson and was one of the few parts of the complex that survived the fires set by the British during the War of 1812.

BREAKING: Jack Smith is insisting upon a public hearing if Congress wants to talk to him

Good. Why does the GOP want backroom secret questioning? What are Republicans afraid of?

Let the American people see & hear for themselves!

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

In the UK, another word to fart is trump. E.g. "Did you just trump?" It id probably where his second name comes from as many second names derive from occupations. Fletcher if you made arrows, Cooper if you made barrels and Trump if you made people sick.

"stop making everything about gender!!!" but also "we have to address the inequalities young men face due to their gender!!!"

Either recognize the reality that systemic injustices exist, or don't. You don't get to pick and choose based on political expedience.
