the only people making the world confusing for teenage boys are adult men who are telling them that the world they inhabit is broken and has turned against them because people’s values have evolved in the ~30 years that they’ve ceased to be teenagers and they no longer feel in control

if you don’t teach little boys that they are part of a family or community, if you teach them weird Christofascist “head of the household” shit, while the girls are taught they have to be in charge of managing all the boys’ emotions, the toxicity of the internet is just the cherry atop a shit sundae

You asked, I listened
As an act of civic journalism, I contacted the Privy Council Office and the Speaker of the House of Commons to clarify if Pierre Poilievre can still serve as Leader of the Opposition and if he can continue living in his public mansion
The official answers: No and no

All kidding aside, the biggest reason to keep Poilievre out of Parliament is to change the tone. We can't operate as a civil nation when one party leader exists only to attack the other. Civil debates and factual discussions, not personal attacks and three-word slogans, please.

So, you want a standardized housing library, but we don’t have standardized zoning…
Where to start?
What should be the common baseline a state or province should mandate for all cities?
Let’s start with 10 baseline rules for coach houses / lane houses:

3. No “wedding cake” massing rules.
Don’t cap the upper floor at 50% or 60% of the lower floor.
You’re killing green space, functional housing and cost/efficiency in one fell swoop in the name of cutesy aesthetics.
Just allow functional small housing. You’re a government not an HOA.

I think most people can't comprehend that equalization comes from the federal government, which means there isn't some magical ledger where money is siphoned from one province and handed to another province like they're separate bank accounts. We're taxed as Canadians, not provincial residents.

Stephen Miller: "Children will be taught to love America. Children will be taught to be patriots. Children will be taught civic values for schools that want federal taxpayer funding ... we're gonna make sure these funds are not being used to promote communist ideology."
