Atomic Take: Actually, rural Nova Scotia is a great place for gold courses. We just shouldn't subsidize them. We definitely shouldn't dismantle parks and nature reserves for them.
If it makes economic sense, just buy the land and build it.

Americans desperately want to believe that the financial burden of all the entitlements they’ve granted themselves can be resolved by rooting out “waste and corruption”.

Imagine trying to convince someone a decade ago that this sentence would be a 100% literally accurate description of the American political situation.
The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

Siri what is Canadian conservativism in the sheets?
Councillor Holyday worries about retail stores that "sell some zany thing that has very little value." He wants to know if council could define a list of what stores can sell.
Staff say they can regulate things like size, noise and property standards, but generally not what stores sell.

"The rage-baiting is really nauseating," says Councillor Parthi Kandavel. "The idea or the implication that we're against kids getting ice cream or seniors getting a cappuccino, it's troubling.
