In a post shared on X, Sortor said the woman was part of a group that followed him and his crew around the Twin City all day — until one of them boldly snatched his camera out of his hand while he was driving down the street.

Michael Taube: Canada shouldn’t increase trade with China until years of confrontation have been resolved

Canada and China have had a difficult relationship for years. Many Canadians have a real lack of faith and trust when it comes to China’s role as an honest broker and reliable trade partner — and understandably so.

Poll shows Canadians lose faith in Ottawa’s housing plan

Canadians are increasingly pessimistic about housing, with most saying federal plans will not make homes more affordable or accessible, according to internal polling obtained by Housing Minister Gregor Robertson’s department.

Blacklock’s Reporter says the research found housing costs and shortages are now a dominant source of stress for households, with many believing home ownership is either unattainable or would require taking on crushing levels of debt.

Renters, the report said, are trapped in tight markets marked by low vacancy rates, rising prices and, in some cases, deteriorating living conditions.


Thank the Liberal Party.

Trump’s Greenland threats show Europe must prepare for Nato’s end

Yesterday, Trump shocked Nato allies with a threat this weekend to impose tariffs on Denmark and a range of other Nato allies if they refuse to cede Greenland to the US. In response, the former Danish prime minister and Secretary-General of Nato, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, told the Financial Times that: “Since childhood, I have considered the United States as the natural leader of the Free World. I’ve even spoken about the US as the world’s policeman… Now we see the United States use a language that’s pretty close to the gangsters that they should control in Moscow, Beijing etc.”

What can new polling tell us about the health of Canadian democracy?

According to polling by the Environics Institute, 70 per cent of Canadians are either very or somewhat satisfied with “the way democracy works in Canada.”

Is that good?

At the very least, it could certainly be worse. And Environics surveys show that the share of Canadians expressing satisfaction has held relatively steady over the last 15 years — it was 70 per cent in 2010, rose gradually to 79 per cent in 2017, fell to 65 per cent in 2023 and then rebounded back to 70 per cent last year.
