when I was young, i used to wonder how people like this would fare in life, as they didn't seem suited for gainful employment. it turns out, the internet allowed them to accumulate a massive audience of similar idiots, enriching them and turning them into a presidential advisor

Let’s be clear on this: Danielle Smith is ripping up the Charter of Rights & Freedoms to take away rights from the most vulnerable people in Alberta. And she’s doing it to protect herself from the militant wing of her own party, nothing more. Hope it’s all she’s ever remembered for in the long run

It was clear from their opening statement that they were only considering whether the amended proposal met the DPB's own instructions. The important community concerns brought to them over two days of hearings? Not heeded.
Tragedy. Vancouver's Development Permit Board approved Beedie's #105Keefer.
But we'll keep fighting. The City of Vancouver *must* buy that site off local oligarch Beedie. Memorial Square is too important to the community. No luxury condo! #vanpoli

If the property value has increased, it still apparently counts as "revitalization"
This Vancouver block on Robson Street at Seymour used to have a row of thriving businesses that had been there for decades; a frame shop; a bike repair shop and an Indian restaurant., etc. it’s been a vacant lot gone to weed since a development permit was issued 5+ years ago. #VanPoli
