Toronto-area home prices are forecast to increase by five per cent year over year at the end of 2025 with detached single-family homes leading the way while condos units struggle to regain footing after a tumultuous year, according to a leading realty company.
In his sweeping pardon of Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden did not just protect his son. He also handed President-elect Donald Trump a template to shield his own allies and stretch the pardon power even further.
Legal experts say Trump now has fresh precedent — and political cover — to issue expansive pardons absolving his allies not only of specific offenses, but even any undetermined crimes they may have committed.
Canada recorded a bigger than expected trade deficit of $924-million in October, its eighth straight monthly trade shortfall, as export growth could not offset a smaller rise in imports, Statistics Canada data showed on Thursday.
Border control is looking better and better, eh?
The media won’t tell you this, but here’s the REAL reason @JoeBiden is in Africa. He’s building rail lines that connect mines so African kids can dig up the minerals we need for the Green New Deal. All so we can have windmills that pockmark our coastlines and subsidize electric… pic.twitter.com/Aequ25QgzI

Mount Pearl resident Bailey Rempel says life for her and her young family simply hasn’t been the same since her husband was assaulted by a group of young people at after-school pick-up in late November.
“There are things that don’t make it into the headlines,” she told a public meeting of concerned citizens this week. “How my husband hasn’t been able to work a full day yet, and how our house stays dark now because the lights make his head hurt.”
Dr. Peter Hotez is one of the most prolific liars about COVID in the world.
A big fan of medical totalitarianism, Hotez helped fund the gain of function research that likely led to the outbreak of COVID-19, and he was among the most vociferous critics of the lab leak theory, which is almost certainly correct.
Surprise, surprise, surprise.
Now Hotez is panicked by the return of Donald Trump to the White House. A frequent guest on MSDNC, Hotez went on a rant against Trump and his appointments, and while doing so he made comments that one might or might not interpret as a threat.
Muhammad is now the most popular name for baby boys in England and Wales, toppling Noah in the official rankings.
Critical materials (also referred to as critical minerals) – such as cobalt, chromium, copper, graphite, lithium, silver and others – are essential for the needs of the energy transition, because they are increasingly used in the production of clean energy technologies, namely solar panels, wind turbines, batteries and electric cars. Having access to and ensuring supply of critical materials are among the key drivers of technological innovation, as China’s clean energy manufacturing boom demonstrates.
Critical materials markets are characterized by complex geography and a complicated market structure of extraction, processing and the intermediate and final use of metals. This complexity requires the availability of quality data – but most mineral supply markets remain highly opaque due to limited information. This is a serious bottleneck that is already disrupting mineral supply chains and poses a risk to the ongoing energy transition.

That’s the conclusion of the 15th annual food price report released Thursday by a partnership that includes researchers at Dalhousie University, the University of Guelph, University of Saskatchewan and University of British Columbia.
The report’s authors used three different machine learning and AI models to make their predictions, and concluded a Canadian family of four can expect to spend $16,833.67 on food in 2025 — an increase of up to $801.56 from last year.

UnitedHealthcare boss Brian Thompson, 50, was fatally shot in the back on Wednesday morning outside the Hilton hotel in Midtown Manhattan.
The attacker fled the scene without taking any of Thompson’s belongings. Police believe the victim was targeted in a pre-planned killing.

Here’s what we know about the suspect and the investigation.
In an era dominated by search engines and instant information, Wikipedia holds an outsized influence. For millions of users, it is often the first — and sometimes the only — source of information on global events and historical contexts. Yet, as investigative journalist Ashley Rindsberg revealed in an explosive report, a quiet yet coordinated operation has taken root among the online encyclopedia’s editors, monumentally reshaping the way the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is perceived.
In a conversation with The Algemeiner this week, Rindsberg asserted that the campaign has “actually changed what appears to be the face of not just the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but of the entire justification for Israel’s right to exist and legitimacy, which is the real aim.”
