Doom Loop: Survey reveals public opinion on GTA housing crisis

According to a public opinion survey conducted by Ipsos (on behalf of BILD), 90 per cent of people in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) agree there is a housing affordability issue in the GTA and 72 per cent of agree that there is not enough being done to address it. In addition, approximately half of renters and young people in the GTA say they plan to move out of the province or to the suburbs in order to buy a home. Such shifts and the loss of these younger demographics would have a significant, and dire, impact on the GTA’s social and economic landscape. 

The fault for this lies squarely with Trudeau and his destructive mass immigration scam.

Democratic Decision-Makers Await Gold-Standard Polls Before Judging How Bad Debate Night Was for Joe Biden

Although many in the press called on President Biden to step down as the Democratic nominee after last week’s debate performance, decision makers are still waiting on polling that shows the depth of the damage Mr. Biden’s performance had on his standing with the public.

The press’s reaction to last week’s debate probably reached its apogee when the New York Times’s editorial board called on Mr. Biden to drop out of the race Friday.

I am beginning to wonder if matters are out of Jill Biden’s hands.

Harjit Sajjan failed Canada, and Canadians

It was my strategy that held back Xerxes at Thermopylae!

Harjit Sajjan, Canada’s minister of defence during the fall of Kabul in August, 2021, had a lot on his hands as the deadline for airlifting people out of Afghanistan at the end of that month rapidly approached.

His primary “duty and obligation,” as he said in a statement on Thursday, was to Canadians “and those with strong ties to Canada” – in other words, Afghans who had worked for the Canadian embassy, the armed forces or for journalists, often as translators and fixers.

The wages of identity politics and society’s balkanization.

A neurosurgeon diagnoses Joe Biden

“Following my post today, a neurosurgeon and Unreported Truths reader (yes, some of you are actually brain surgeons) wrote in.

For obvious reasons, he did not1 want his name used, but his email and answers to my follow-up question speak for itself. I’d urge you to read to the end, for the prediction he makes.

I simply wanted to give you a thumbs up on your diagnosis of POTUS.”

Manhattan Prosecutors Agree to Delay Trump’s Sentencing

Donald J. Trump’s lawyers want to argue that a Supreme Court decision giving presidents immunity for official acts should void his felony conviction for covering up hush money paid to a porn star.

Manhattan prosecutors on Tuesday agreed with Donald J. Trump’s request to postpone his criminal sentencing so that the judge overseeing the case could weigh whether a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling might imperil his conviction, new court filings show.

It is up to the judge to determine whether to postpone the sentencing, though with both sides in agreement, it seems likely he would do so.

‘Large proportion’ of military disliked relaxed rules on personal grooming, survey finds

The Canadian military has tightened up regulations on personal grooming after getting an earful from members who were not happy with the relaxed standards introduced almost two years ago.

The revised rules on hair and beard length come into effect today.

One expert says the newest set of regulations, announced last month, may not entirely quell the social and political debate that has been raging in the ranks since the decades-old grooming standards were dramatically relaxed almost two years ago.

Biden had ‘15-20’ episodes of cognitive decline in last year, Carl Bernstein says

Anonymous sources “very close” to Biden allegedly witnessed “15, 20 occasions” over the last year and a half of the president’s mental decline that was put on display for the nation last week, according to legendary journalist Carl Bernstein.

Bernstein — credited with breaking the Watergate scandal alongside Bob Woodward, leading to President Richard Nixon’s impeachment in the 1970s — told CNN’s Anderson Cooper Monday that sources close to the aging commander-in-chief were no strangers to “that horror show that we witnessed” during Biden’s disastrous debate with former President Trump.

I bet there is much more.

Greece introduces ‘growth-oriented’ six-day working week

Companies in countries worldwide may be toying with the idea of implementing shorter working weeks, but in Greece employees have been told that, henceforth, they can put in a sixth day of labour in an unorthodox step aimed at turbocharging productivity.

After outpacing other Europeans in terms of economic growth, the nation once at the heart of the continent’s worst financial crisis has bucked the trend again, introducing a 48-hour working week. The measure, decried as “barbaric” by unions, takes effect from Monday.

“It makes no sense whatsoever,” said Akis Sotiropoulos an executive committee member of the civil servants’ union Adedy. “When almost every other civilised country is enacting a four-day week, Greece decides to go the other way.”
