Rooming house revival: Canadian cities look to single-room homes amid housing crunch

Rents “As Is”

MONTREAL – Rooming or boarding houses are regaining favour with some Canadian cities as a way to offset a lack of affordable homes, but experts warn there are pitfalls to the once-popular form of urban housing.

On Tuesday, Montreal executive committee member Benoit Dorais told reporters that the city was applying its right of first refusal to purchase about 100 privately owned rooming houses, in which a person rents a single private room, and shares amenities such as bathrooms or kitchens. The move means the city has the right to match an offer to purchase them if they come for sale.

He said Montreal had already purchased four of the homes and was looking to buy more, describing them as “the principle solution to fight homelessness.”

France sends in special forces to combat rioters

France has dispatched its elite GIGN commandos to reinforce beleaguered police as the country braces for a fifth night of violence over the killing of Nahel Merzouk.

Some 45,000 police officers and Gendarmes were mobilised on Saturday evening, after hundreds of people gathered to bury the 17-year-old police shooting victim in the Paris suburb of Nanterre.

Arrests were made in cities across France with a police source quoted on BFMTV giving the number as 121.

Trudeau ‘open’ to desecrating O Canada lyrics

The prime minister says he’s not opposed to the idea of changing the lyrics of Canada’s national anthem, but said rewrites will only come after consultation with Canadians.

Calls are growing to change the words “home and native land” to “home on native land” after singer Jully Black sang the latter while performing O Canada at the 2023 NBA all-star game. The Assembly of First Nations honoured Black in response to the lyrical tweak.

Ukraine says no negotiations unless Russia retreats from Crimea

Ukraine will only negotiate a peace deal with Russia once the Kremlin’s armies have fully retreated from Donbas and Crimea, Volodymyr Zelensky has said.

His comments scotched suggestions that Ukraine may look for peace talks if its counteroffensive pushes Russian forces back to the border of occupied Crimea.

“The borders of February 24 2022 are not our borders. That was the contact line between us and the occupiers,” Mr Zelensky said in comments made as Pedro Sanchez, Spain’s prime minister, visited Kyiv.

Far-right parties on the rise across Europe

France is on a knife edge.

Holding its breath as unrest spreads across the country, bursting out of the banlieues – the often socially-neglected suburbs – after the fatal shooting this week of a 17-year-old from a French-Algerian family by police near Paris.

These types of riots are not unheard of in France. But the intensity of feeling taking hold of the country, whether amongst those sympathising with the police or with the banlieues and the victim’s family – hasn’t been witnessed in France since summer 2005.

And while President Macron visibly struggles to get the situation under control, his political nemesis on the far-right – Marine Le Pen – with her tough-on-security, anti-immigration message – may well end up benefitting in the polls.

God forbid the riffraff elect a government they want.

The end of affirmative action is a victory for racial equality

The Supreme Court of the United States ruled yesterday that race can no longer be considered as a factor in university admissions. ‘The student must be treated based on his or her experiences as an individual – not on the basis of race’, said Justice Roberts, writing for the majority. Universities, he said, ‘have concluded, wrongly, that the touchstone of an individual’s identity is not challenges bested, skills built, or lessons learned but the colour of their skin’.

The news from England presages where America is heading

In the 18th century, the American colonies got their notion of liberty from Great Britain. To quash the colonies, Parliament officially abandoned its ideas of liberty, a decision that, over the centuries, has slowly turned England from a free country into a totalitarian one. We need to pay attention to what’s happening there because the Democrats again view totalitarian England as a role model—and they really like how England’s institutions are “gender identity” and race to silence the people.

Biden Admin Allowed Pro-Iran Figure Accused of Mishandling Classified Info to Remain as ‘Special Envoy’ to Iran

You may remember Rob Malley from Islamic terrorism scandals such as these.

During the 2008 election, the Obama campaign dropped Robert Malley as an adviser over his work with Hamas on behalf of George Soros’ International Crisis Group. Once in office, Obama brought back his old buddy into the National Security Council.

Malley then became the lead negotiator for the sellout deal to legitimize Iran’s nuclear program.

Hunter Biden: How the MSM buried one of the stories of the century

THROUGHOUT much of the Anglosphere, faith in the media has cratered in recent years. The proportion of those believing in the news ‘most of the time’ in the UK has gone from 51 per cent in 2015 to 34 per cent in 2022. The number of those actively avoiding the news has gone from 24 per cent in 2017 to 46 per cent in 2022.

It is not hard to see why. After all, what is the ‘news’? It is what is decided can be reported to you, filtered and manipulated along the way.

Dodging shells on Ukraine’s eastern front

In Kreminna’s Forest of Surprises, combat is almost face-to-face

I’m running. Shells explode around me. Sometimes they roar like thunder; sometimes they whistle on approach. Large parts of the forest are on fire. Smoke rolls by like dry ice.

“Run. Run. Run,” says Dima. I follow him over the fallen trunks of trees felled by artillery; over shell craters that have become pools; through the deep grooves of old vehicle tracks. I’m slowing down now. My ill-fitting helmet is slick with sweat. Droplets sting my eyes.

New study on ‘rise’ in transgenderism shows it’s a fad, especially among young girls

As a preteen and teen, when you asked for something ill-advised because everyone else was doing it, you likely heard a parent admonish, “What if all of your friends were jumping off the Brooklyn Bridge? Would you do it too?”

It’s wise and timeless counsel about protecting yourself from peer pressure and staying out of trouble.

But it seems a number of activists today never heeded that warning.
