You look at a few photos of the candidate on her Facebook page and you immediately think, oh yeah, I know this type of person. I know everything I need to know about this person. I've met her/him a hundred or a thousand times.

Oh I remember so many natural disasters happening and some people saying it was God's revenge on the gays.

I also remember some people saying allowing homosexuality would result in a more violent society.

Haha it turns out that repugnant Karyn Draper is running in my ward. Wow. Finally a reason to actually care about who I vote for for school trustee.

It wasn't everyone. Just a select few who were extreme but the fact that nobody did anything to stop it was bad.

Reminds me of this youth group leader at my friend’s church growing up who believed that God made AIDS to punish gay and promiscuous people.

Let's add Pat Robertson to the list. The man who blamed the Las Vegas shooting on disrespect for Donald Trump. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/...-blames-critics-disrespect-a7981201.html

I think this deserves a place in the Ugly Canada thread. What kind of bubble must you live in to pursue this lawsuit?

The other house does give the impression of cheaper looking inspiration of their house. It shouldn't come as a surprise that I don't find it ugly of them or fault them for being upset to the point of a lawsuit.

Haha of course you wouldn't! That's a little extreme don't you think? On what grounds could you possibly sue them? There's tons of copycat houses out there and architecture in general copies other architecture. It's not like they can claim copyright infringement.

For Molson Export:

A new proposed Mansard faced building in Calgary:

If it weren't wood shingles I'd actually probably like it. As is it looks straight out of the 70's though.

That looks more like a renovation of an old 60's walk-up than a brand new build

Not a fan of mansard roofs or facades at all

Oh I've heard the exact same thing! And also that AIDS started because people in Africa were having sex with monkeys.

I thought it was over the top, but it will be interesting to see the outcome (if it isn't settled). Apart from the copyright issue, it's not clear at all to me how a cheap imitation of someone's home, almost a kilometre away, could harm the value of the house.
