Douglas Todd: Why the appearance of a B.C. homebuilding boom is deceiving

The Bank of Canada’s decision to hike rates is making it harder for buyers to get mortgages — and builders to afford new projects.

Orange construction cranes pepper the skyline of Metro Vancouver, seemingly more than ever.

Gleaming new condo towers are going up like never before, from North Vancouver to Surrey. House and rental prices are exorbitant. Old houses are being torn down for multi-unit buildings. It all gives the impression the residential construction business is booming.

Pentagon Tacitly Admits Biden’s Gaza Pier Stunt Is A Total Failure

It didn’t take long for the Pentagon to all but confirm that the temporary Gaza port constructed at the behest of President Biden is turning out to be a total disaster.

The admission came during a Tuesday press conference, in which Gen. Patrick S.
