Canada’s Million-Dollar Real Estate Crisis

Soaring housing costs, with many homes nearing $1 million, have sparked an exodus from cities like Vancouver, and Canadians want their next prime minister to do something about it.

Janet Robertson had few choices after being evicted from her apartment of two decades in Vancouver, Canada’s most expensive city.

Even listings in nearby suburbs were out of reach after years of paying 900 Canadian dollars, or $650, monthly for her studio apartment. She kept going until she could find something she could afford and ended up renting in a town about 60 miles east of Vancouver.

“I really didn’t have any other options but to come to Chilliwack,” Ms. Robertson said.

Trump challenges the Fed

President Trump has signed an executive order creating a United Sovereign Wealth Fund and Strategic Cryptocurrency Reserve. Sovereign Wealth Funds have been created in countries with surplus revenue, such as the oil-exporting Gulf states. The federal government is projected to incur deficits and accumulate debt for the foreseeable future. President Trump states that the Sovereign Wealth Fund will not be financed with debt or increased taxes, so the question is how will the Fund be financed? There are several scenarios, all of which pose problems for the Federal Reserve.

Free Trade Fundamentalists Ignore Chinese Threat

Unprecedentedly high tariffs on imports from China are the latest escalation in a new cold war that may eventually turn hot, a war that we could lose. The new “adversary” is China, a fascist, racist, expansionist, deceitful, dishonest, and manipulative superpower that wants to impose on the whole world the authoritarian hellscape it’s imposed on its own population.

For the skeptics and the appeasers who don’t think China is a serious threat, or that human rights in China are no better or worse than they are here in America, it’s time to resurrect arguments from the last Cold War, arguments that worked then and ought to work now: America is a mess. A flawed, divided, fractious, chaotic melange of oligarchs and jingoists, crackers and crips, soft corporate censorship and bureaucratic gridlock, with bursting prisons and broken ghettos, with wealth inequality and simmering racial tension. We’re not perfect!

‘What steps did he take’? Lawyers query Carney’s role at company beset by sexism allegations

OTTAWA — A year-and-a-half before he became leader of the Liberal party, Mark Carney took on a daunting job. In August 2023, he was appointed chairman of a revamped board of directors at Bloomberg LP, a U.S. financial information and media company.

Carney is a grifter. End of story.

Britain is long overdue a migrant crime league table

“Lies, damned lies, and statistics.” It’s the phrase people reach for when the data makes their worldview wobble. But in a culture soaked in denial and distraction, statistics — the ugly, unvarnished kind — might be the closest thing we have to a truth serum. They strip away sentiment, they puncture euphemism, and they show us the world not as we wish it to be, but as it is.

And so is Canada.

How an ‘anti-terrorism’ law cancelled a flower show

Every year for two days in August, the picturesque medieval town of Shrewsbury, Shropshire holds a flower show. In fact, the 150-year-old Shrewsbury Flower Show is believed to be the largest and longest-running flower show not just in Britain, but also the world. It attracts over 25,000 visitors, who enjoy arts and crafts, military bands, show jumping, a firework display, demonstrations by celebrity chefs and, of course, meticulously designed flower and plant displays. To most people, this probably sounds like a wholesome family day out. But to the British state, Shrewsbury Flower Show poses a deadly security risk.

Trump’s recent silence on Canada — and Quebec’s response — could cost the Liberals a majority

Four days before Prime Minister Mark Carney called this snap election, I warned in this space that the “Rest of Canada” should be careful not to overinterpret the rise in Canadian pride among Quebecers. Since it became clear that U.S. President Donald Trump wasn’t joking about turning Canada into the 51st state, Quebecers had rallied behind the Maple Leaf — standing shoulder to shoulder with the ROC to keep the country strong and united.

That surge of Canadian patriotism gave the federal Liberal Party a lift. Quebecers may not fully understand Carney’s French, but his resumé passed the job interview. And while Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s French may be better, his “direct” style and a certain “je ne sais quoi” still manage to rub most Quebecers the wrong way. As for the Bloc? Its mission isn’t to speak for Quebec in Washington — it’s to look after Quebec in Ottawa.

Vatican’s secret links to UFOs laid bare as Pope Francis’ successor is urged to share ‘the truth’

The Vatican’s secret archives have long been a magnet for mystery – and now, alien intrigue.

Sprawling across more than 50 miles of underground shelving, these heavily guarded documents have fueled wild speculation for centuries.

But some researchers now believe the Holy See could be sitting on the biggest secret of all: proof of extraterrestrial life.

EU Funds Islamist Indoctrination in Pakistani Schools

Between 2016 and 2024, the European Union spent upwards of €150 million on education in Pakistan, according to a 2024 report entitled Pakistan, Education System, Curriculum and EU Funding, authored by Sallux/ECPM (the European Christian Political Movement).

The ECPM report contains over 40 pages of excerpts and pictures from textbooks which show that the views expressed in Pakistan’s official curriculum are not compatible with the EU values expressed in its Charter of Fundamental Rights.

Canada’s Mark Carney Shares the Same Goal as China — Ending American Dominance

Canadians may be hell bent against becoming America’s 51st state, but if the April 28 elections confirm globalist central banker Mark Carney as prime minister it could go China’s way.

In the divisive election campaign following Carney’s appointment to lead the ruling Liberal Party, the high-flying ex-governor of the Bank of Canada with strong Chinese business connections is whipping up anti-American sentiment supported by European socialists, which has hallmarks of a CCP strategy.

Poilievre may lose his Ottawa-area riding as Liberals poised to sweep the region

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is at risk of losing his Ottawa-Carleton riding as the party scrambles to send in volunteers to save the seat he has held since 2004, two federal and two provincial Conservative sources say.

With several polls showing the Liberals poised to win the election, the loss of Mr. Poilievre’s riding would put the leader in a difficult position to hang on to his party post.
