How ‘financialized’ landlords may be contributing to rising rents in Canada

Starlight Investments is Canada’s largest landlord, with more than 54,000 units nationwide and 68,000 globally. Starlight was granted approval by Ontario’s Landlord and Tenant Board to raise the rent above provincial guidelines twice in the last two years. Alibi says this makes his unit no longer affordable for him.

“They should not be allowed to get away with this. They just keep coming to take and take and take,” he said.

… He and dozens of other tenants from his and two adjacent buildings — including 71, 75 and 79 Thorncliffe Park Drive in north Toronto — have joined forces in a rent strike since May 2023 to protest the Above Guideline Increases (AGIs) after the second one was issued to tenants earlier that year.

Thorncliffe Park … home of the Mosqueteria, the largest Muslim ghetto in Toronto.

I wonder if for votes a local pol will not come to their rescue.

The four Conservative members of the committee want it to meet immediately to hear from Immigration Minister Marc Miller, Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc and Canadian Jewish groups.

‘Rampant Anti-Blackness’: Black Student Union at University of Michigan Leaves Pro-Palestinian Coalition

The Black Student Union at the University of Michigan — Ann Arbor withdrew from a Pro-Palestinian coalition called “TAHRIR” due to “rampant anti-Blackness.”

“Members of our organization and our community have dedicated their time, energy, and well-being to the continued existence and strength of the coalition despite repeated instances of being erased, belittled, and berated,” reads the statement by the Black Student Union. “These community members did so with the belief that the work of the coalition would be furthered by their sacrifice — that it would be worth the vitriol they received. However, as Black people, we are not obligated to sacrifice ourselves for any organization that does not value or understand us. The anti-Blackness within the coalition has been too pervasive to overcome, and we refuse to endure it.”

Kamala Harris’ Debate Strategy Is Making Voters Forget She’s The Vice President

Kamala Harris has a major problem heading into Tuesday night’s debate against Donald Trump. That is, she must deceive voters into buying her message that it’s time to move on from the status quo — when she is the status quo.

Following her falsehood-laden speech at the Democrat National Convention and lone sit-down interview with CNN’s Dana Bash, it’s become clear that Harris, the sitting vice president, is attempting to frame herself as the candidate of “change.” By regurgitating generic phrases like, “It’s time to turn the page,” the Democrat nominee hopes to sell the illusion that Trump — who hasn’t been in office for nearly four years — is to blame for the catastrophic failures wrought by the Biden-Harris administration.

Recapping some of the most erroneous ‘climate change’ predictions

“Experts” have been making dire predictions on the climate for over one hundred years, and their solution is always for the government to control our lives. They always falsely claim that the predictions and solutions are based on science, but science has nothing to do with it. It is always about taking more money and power for the government, or $cience.

How AI will embolden the tyranny of Big Tech

The power of the Silicon Valley oligarchs is set to expand exponentially.

The emergence of artificial intelligence marks the latest acceleration of the digital age. Like any revolution, this one has winners and losers and will likely transform the relationship between people and machines. It could also lend yet more power to Big Tech and their technocratic elites in government.

Just as the Industrial Revolution elevated manufacturers and their financiers over the old aristocratic classes, the current shift erodes the power of the large industrial, often unionised, corporations and hosts of smaller businesses, in favour of a small coterie of elite firms, which are aggressively anti-union and have an unprecedented hold on both the capital markets and increasingly the human consciousness.

Labour should ignore its immigration extremists

In his influential 1939 treatise against utopian thinking in foreign policy, The Twenty Years’ Crisis, E.H. Carr made an analogy with domestic politics that seemed so obvious at the time it needed neither elaboration nor justification. “It is not the ordinarily accepted moral duty of a state to lower the standard of living of its citizens by throwing open its frontiers to an unlimited number of foreign refugees,” he wrote, “though it may be its duty to admit as large a number as is compatible with the interests of its own people.” That the same principle might apply to economic migrants was presumably too self-evident to merit stating.

The Kamala Hype is Fading

The Kamala hype was based on a tried and tested method.

The media and its party manufactured an artificial crisis by suddenly talking about Biden’s poor state of mind which somehow disqualified him as a candidate, but not from running the country. After weeks or fight or flight responses and reptile brain panic, Biden was successfully ‘couped’ and Kamala was selected in a smoke-filled back room and trotted out as the party’s savior to orgasmic cries of “Joy, Joy, Joy” akin to a religious service.

Liberal MP threatens National Post editor by saying feds fund her salary

Liberal MP Taleeb Noormohamed (Vancouver Granville, BC) has told National Post Comment senior editor Terry Newman stop criticizing the Canadian government.

This is because the Canadian government has been providing the National Post with media subsidies to keep it operating, Noormohamed said

I’m sure that’s how things are done in ButtFuckistan where Noormohamed likely hails from making him a perfect fit for Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Party..

‘I’ve never seen anything like it’: The behind-the-scenes attempts to unite against the right in a Toronto byelection

An ex-Ontario premier and a former Toronto mayor could play pivotal roles in an upcoming city council byelection, amid concerns from some left-leaning insiders that a trio of candidates with Liberal connections are on track to split the vote and give a controversial conservative a path to victory.

Although voters won’t go to the polls to elect a new councillor in Don Valley West until Nov. 4, the race is already being shaped by behind-the-scenes manoeuvring featuring Kathleen Wynne and John Tory, the Star has learned.

HUNTER: When will soft-on-crime Trudeau face Willie Horton moment?

Joseph Fournier, 17, readily coughed up the dough in the cash register.

After all, he was just a gas station attendant working his way through high school.

But that night in October 1974 in Lawrence, Mass., his cooperation with a thug named William Horton and two accomplices didn’t matter. Horton — later better known as Willie — stabbed the boy 19 times, then stuffed his body in a trash can.

Matthew Lau: Don’t believe Freeland when she says her ‘economic plan is working’

When the Bank of Canada cut interest rates last week, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland said that it “shows that our economic plan is working.” But the fact is that real GDP per capita has declined for seven of the last eight quarters, shrinking cumulative growth since Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took office to a mere 0.6 per cent, versus a robust 16.4 per cent increase in the United States over the same time period.
