19 year old freshman just wants to go home for Thanksgiving to see her family, she gets deported to Honduras.

Former President of Honduras who’s serving 45 years in prison for drug trafficking?

He gets a full presidential pardon.

Both are Honduran. Only one is a criminal.

It’s never been about drugs.
WHOA. Trump says he will pardon Juan Orlando Hernandez, who once said that he wanted to “shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.” He had people killed as part of his narco-trafficking ring, which he at times operated directly out of his presidential office.

This is an important point that gets overlooked too often. These 'public meetings' aren't needed for every type of housing - they are mostly only required when adding units. A multiplex is almost always going to offer more affordability - which we say we want more of - but do we really?
And if a fourplex burns down and gets replaced with a one unit mansion, no public meeting needed. Classism that calls itself “local democracy”.

Cease was ranked as the number 3 free agent in this year’s class by MLBTR, behind Kyle Tucker and Bo.

They predicted a 7-year, $189M deal, with none of their pundits identifying the Jays as a potential landing spot (though their write up mentions the Jays as a possible pursuer.)

Maybe I'm missing an important point, but the Ford gov's claim that "Landlords will lower rents if they can rent out more of their properties now that we've given them more power over tenants" feels like something you'd say if you'd never literally never heard of capitalism before in your life.

As much as I loathe to draw attention to the National Post, I think it's important to keep an eye on what they're up to. In this case, it's writing a piece that can be summed up with, "The stupid libs keep fear mongering about their bodily rights being taken away. Here's why we should do that."

Marit Stiles called Doug Ford and his government corrupt and he kicked her out of the Legislature.

Doug’s not a big fan of the truth and I’m pretty sure he’s allergic to integrity.

This petition - iagreewithmaritstiles.ca - has nearly 4,600 signatures.

Let’s keep sharing it.
