Trump is not only The Worst President Ever, he's The Worst President Imaginable.

He's also put up a gate, guarded by a big dog, who may just bark at you, or bite you in the leg, or maybe try to rip your throat out.

Whenever Trump does something, and I watch the GOP reaction, I wonder: "What if Biden had done it?"

If it looks like a NIMBY, talks like a NIMBY, it's probably a NIMBY.

I wonder how many Stars fans were sitting there very concerned about a 2-goal lead?

Question: Is it worth the risk? I changed vacation plans for this month because I didn't want to catch a border guard having a bad day. Heading to Mexico instead (and bypassing any U.S. airports). If I absolutely HAD to go, I'd definitely be using a burner flip phone.

I hope they've kept the old motel sign and will incorporate it into the design.

So much political grandstanding. What did they expect BC Ferries to do? There were ZERO Canadian shipyards who bid on the project. If BCF had gone its typical route (Euro shipyards) it would have cost hundreds of millions more. And what of the Atlantic ferries built in the same Chinese shipyard?

It should be possible to think two things: that political violence is horrible and it's terribly sad that a widow and two children are now living without their husband/father; AND that the person assassinated said terrible things that have created hatred and division in his country.

Also, blanket zoning avoids the problem of creating an artificial shortage of desirable property development opportunities, which can place upward speculative pressure on land values. Blanket zoning essentially creates an unlimited supply of potential building sites (within the relevant range).

Good grief! Putting more people in places that people really like to live? What an outrageous idea!

When planning for schools, and looking 20 years into the future, can we stop listening to NIMBYs who won't even be there in 20 years? And since when did a 4 storey building become "out of character" in a mid-rise neighbourhood? Yeesh!

Can you imagine the MAGA War Room (that term seems way too literal now) when they found out? "What?? Dammit! He's one of us?? I should have known that a lefty would never be able to make that shot from 200 yards!"
