Canada needs to build 1.3M additional homes by 2030 to close housing gap, says PBO
OTTAWA – The parliamentary budget officer says Canada would need to build 1.3 million additional homes by 2030 to eliminate the country’s housing gap.
The newly released report looks at how many more homes would need to be built restore Canada’s vacancy rate to the historical average.
The report by Yves Giroux also accounts for the number of additional households that would form if sufficient housing were available.
What they don’t tell you is that Canada lacks the capacity to build that many homes.
Don’t look!

Michael Higgins: Trudeau’s Liberal democracy based on mistrust
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau gave a long-winded, full-throated defence of democracy during his appearance before the public inquiry on foreign interference Wednesday afternoon. But if democracy is so important how about letting the citizens know what’s going on?
One thing that is becoming very clear in this inquiry is that lots of people in government knew foreign inference was a troubling problem, but nobody was too keen on telling the public.
WTF?
Rep. Rashida Tlaib lost it at Fox Business' @hillary__vaughn who asked if she condemns the "death to America" chants at a rally in her district.

“Our commitment to Israel’s security against these threats from Iran and its proxies is ironclad,” Presidentish Joe Biden said at a joint press conference Wednesday with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. “Let me say it again: ironclad.”
Not sure I trust the words of “Biden of Kabul”.
Canadian parliament breaks into God Save the King
The Canadian parliament broke into God Save the King after MPs voted against removing the oath of allegiance.
The Government and most of the Liberal and Conservative MPs joined forces to vote down the private member’s bill, which was supported by the Left-wing NDP and nationalist Bloc Québécois parties.
MPs voted to keep Section 128, which requires that new parliamentarians must swear to be “faithful and bear true allegiance” to the reigning monarch, by 113 votes to 197.
MPs sing God Save the King in the House of Commons after defeating a motion that would have made the oath to Canada's monarch optional for MPs.

Muslim asylum seeker Alid Ahmed ‘carried out murder in revenge for deaths of Palestinian children’
A Moroccan asylum seeker told police he knifed a pensioner to death in the street and stabbed a Christian convert out of “revenge” for Israel killing children in the Palestinian conflict, a court heard.
Alid Ahmed’s actions, the week after the Hamas attacks, were motivated by “the conflict in Gaza and to further his desire that Palestine would be free from the Zionists”, Teesside Crown Court was told.
Is the paperless Prime Minister getting the message?
So, how does the Prime Minister hear about intelligence again?
It’s not from reading. There are a lot of documents, Justin Trudeau told the Foreign Interference Commission on Wednesday, but if you want to get a national security message to a busy prime minister, you brief him in person.
But listen to Mr. Trudeau talk about how that magic happens and you might end up being a little unclear on the actual protocol for translating the essential national security intelligence crafted in secret documents into verbal information for the head of government.
There will be no repercussions, we will have to suffer the prick until the election in fall 2025.
France ‘hiding poverty’ in ‘social cleansing’ for Paris Olympics
France is trying to “hide poverty” ahead of the Paris Olympics, according to a new report that accuses it of “social cleansing”.
Authorities have resorted to clearing squares in Paris where homeless families congregate, according to Le Revers de la Medaille (The Other Side of the Coin) – a collective that includes leading charities.
The report claims that evictions are on the increase, and there will be more in the run up to July 26, the day the games begin.
Canadian Armed Forces 26 Percent Below Target Strength: Defence Dept.
The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) is 26 percent below target readiness levels, according to a Department of National Defence briefing note.
The CAF is able to recruit just 7,600 new members per year on average and current force strength is at 63,000 people—well below the target of 71,500, says the note published last December and obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter. Of the 63,000 members currently enrolled only 52,707 are fully trained, the document noted.
26% seems like a lot. Or is it just me?
JK Rowling: Harry Potter stars would not be forgiven if they apologise to me
Harry Potter author JK Rowling has criticised celebrities who “used their platforms to cheer on” the transitioning of children, suggesting she would not forgive the film franchise’s stars even if they apologised.
Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson have both previously spoken out in support of transgender people following comments made by the author, 58.
Her rebuke of the pair came amid a string of posts on X, formerly Twitter, following the Cass Review, which found that a lack of research and evidence on the use of puberty blockers and hormones had let children down.
Good for her.
