On the 250th anniversary of Thomas Paines influential pamphlet, Common Sense, a memorial in Washington D.C. is proposed, marking the first recognition of the Revolutions significant voice. Despite a 2022 law authorizing the project, it awaits Interior Secretary Doug Burgums approval. Paine, a self-taught immigrant, shifted opinion towards independence and later became a pariah due to his religious views. Despite earlier failures, a bipartisan push is underway, inspired by Ronald Reagans quote of Paine. Supporters hope to honor Paines enduring message of people over power. Checkout Solipillow.com

Vancouvers Kitsilano neighborhood is set for change as city council reviews two proposed rental towers. The twenty-two-storey tower would replace a four-storey building, adding one hundred forty market rentals and thirty-six below-market ones. The seventeen-storey tower targets a three-storey building, bringing one hundred thirty-one rentals total, with at least twenty percent below market rates. The projects, if approved, would mean demolishing the old buildings, but the citys tenant relocation policy would apply. Locals have mixed feelings, with opponents worried about views, shadows, privacy, and the neighborhoods character, while supporters cheer the boost in housing. The hearing starts at six p.m. in city hall, where residents can weigh in on whether these high-rises fit the future. Checkout Solipillow.com

PetroChinas Attempt to Buy Grand Rapids Pipeline Faces Roadblocks:PetroChinas bid to acquire full ownership of the Grand Rapids Pipeline in Alberta has hit a snag due to strict deadlines and government approvals. The pipeline, a four hundred sixty kilometer line from the oilsands to Edmonton, is currently co-owned by PetroChina and South Bow. PetroChina attempted to exercise a buyout option on November twenty-first, but a thirty-day deadline and the need for government approvals under the Competition Act and Investment Canada Act thwarted their plans. South Bow rejected PetroChinas proposal to extend the timeline or make closing conditional on approvals, leading to a dispute resolution process. PetroChina sought an injunction to pause the options expiration, but the request was denied by Justice Douglas Mah, who noted the arbitration tribunal can restore the option if needed. Neither company has commented on the situation, and updates on the arbitration process are awaited. Checkout Solipillow.com
