How lobbyists and government used stealth, speed and complexity to impose top-down planning on neighbourhoods in BC.

“…framed as a compliance measure…significantly limits when public hearings are required (stealth),shifts decision-making to staff (speed) and formalizes a planning regime where efficiency takes precedence over dialogue

US is stating that they had issued a warrant for Maduro.
An US warrant doesn't give the right to US to go in a foreign country & arrest someone.
BTW, there are International Criminal Court warrants against Putin & Netanyahu, for war crimes, but both went to US without being arrested.

Trump needs to be removed from office. The psychotic shitstain's vileness and depravity is so repugnant, any one else would've been impeached long ago. When Trump is accusing Tim Walz of having Melissa Hortman assassinated, there is something dangerously psychologically wrong.

absolutely bizarre to see a violent, rogue american regime, which is threatening military attacks on a bunch of major trading partners and close allies, and openly fantasizing about hitler-style wars of territorial conquest, covered in the tone of horse-race political commentary

A side story is there’s a ton of insider trading on these prediction markets. New accounts making hundreds of thousands on their first and only trade, that maduro would be ousted. Seems like insider trading is legal if not encouraged on these platforms
