There’s a growing movement of people who recognize we not only need to build more homes, but that they must be high quality & lovely as well. We can do both, if only common sense is legalized Join us, we don’t bite! We just want everyone to have a lovely neighborhood to live in!

In a single month, one shopping site offered more than 19,000 leopard-print products for sale, with an average price of $425. If one per cent of the sale of each of those items went to support leopard conservation, it would raise $8 million.

Style-setters from Egyptian princesses to Jackie Kennedy to Debbie Harry have embraced leopard prints. Proponents of a “species royalty” want designers to pay to help save endangered big cats.

Retweet if you want the New York Times to add more columnists who write about the rise of fascism instead of adding more who always complain about cancel culture.

Mike mentions 150,000 new residents expected west of Alma. A staggering number if correct, all developed by MST and UBC. Need to get the subway extended to UBC immediately. Mike Harcourt: We can choose the city we want | Vancouver Sun
