Nobody Ontarian on this website wants to hear this, but this is why Ministerial Zoning Orders can be good.
I mean, a sensible government would just amend zoning to permit schools of reasonable height in residential zones, but we don't have any sensible governments, so MZOs it is.

UPDATE: after four hours of hearing from the public last night, it got past midnight, and council decided to delay their vote until the end of February.
because when youβve been waiting 19 years to build a school, whatβs another two weeks?

Tonight, Vancouver council will have a public hearing for a school 19 years in the making
There's some community opposition to the project β but there's also the bigger question of why it takes the provincial and municipal governments 19 years to approve a single school

The thing that nobody wants to face is this:
there are some people who are not mentally capable of caring for themselves.
So far, we have not looked this reality in the face.
If someone is so far gone they will seek out freezing to death, they need active CARE.
not just a bed or a room.

This is of course excellent news, but it's also why SpaceX is an actual national security threat and needs to be nationalized. One billionaire with dubious loyalties to the Free World should not have this kind of power, especially since he's disabled Ukrainian attacks like this before too.
When Musk blocked Russian Starlink last week, it stranded infiltration teams that relied on drones for food and ammo. Ukraine pounced.
Assault troops with Abrams tanks attacked along nine vectors in Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia, clearing five settlements near the Haichur River.

This is also super true of the billionaire doomsday bunker phenomenon. Theyβre not in possession of secret information about an impending societal collapse, you can just make a lot of money convincing billionaires that they need an all-amenities apocalypse lair.

one thing that makes you understand how the world really works is hearing about medical treatments rich people get to treat ailments that science does not actually regard as treatable.
maybe they know something we donβt, but a better explanation is they donβt know little but have a lot of money

Rich people think they live in a higher tier of society full of better and more brilliant people, but itβs actually just the same society except the people have more money to waste and lose. So much of what they do is just wealth-induced hallucination

Yes! This really feels like it. Rich, powerful, famous people are often stupid in exactly this way: they assume they have access to all the secret geniuses of the world, donβt realize that most of that is a mirage of wealth, and arenβt sharp enough to catch frauds. So you get these Gatsby figures
I agree, he sounds more like Bernie Madoff. His name spread through the rich-people-grapevine. "I've got a guy" type speak, a guy who gives good advice and is valuable to know. But when you look at his actual accomplishments, he just never said 'no'.

I'm sorry but a multi times convert to various branches of Christianity doesn't get to trash talk secularism. You're *why* it exists in the first place, bro. The so called conservative intelligentsia really are leeches feasting off the successes of liberalism while trying to destroy it.
rod dreher is not that interesting. he is a guy very clearly filled with self hatred tied to repressed feelings related to his gender and sexuality, and rather than deal with them, he blames βmodernityβ and βsecularismβ for why heβs unhappy. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...
