Eviction applications spike in Ontario as rents soar, vacancies dwindle

As Ontario faces a chronic shortage of housing and rapidly climbing rents, landlords in the province are increasingly trying to evict their tenants and take possession of those rental units.

In 2022, the Landlord and Tenant Board, which adjudicates rental-housing disputes in the province, received more than 5,550 eviction applications in which landlords sought units for themselves, family members or new buyers. That was an increase of 41 per cent from 2019, according to numbers provided by the province to The Globe and Mail.

Trudeau creates instant Haitian Diaspora in Niagara Falls – Hilarity ensues

Bused out of Quebec, francophone asylum seekers struggle to get medical services

Over the phone, the woman’s voice is regretful but hurried — she says she’s sorry, but if the French-speaking migrant on the other end of the line cannot find someone to translate English, the doctor won’t see him for the medical exam he needs in order to claim asylum in Canada.

CBC News obtained a recording of the phone conversation the man says took place Wednesday in Niagara Falls, Ont.

“It’s not possible to speak with the doctor if you can’t speak English,” the woman tells him in French. “You have to find someone at your hotel to help you.”

“I don’t know anyone here,” Guirlin — whose last name CBC News has agreed to withhold because of his precarious immigration status — replies.

Alex Murdaugh trial: Power, privilege, murder and the downfall of a dynasty

In the fifth week of his murder trial, Alex Murdaugh took the stand.

Over nearly 10 hours testifying in his own defence, the crowded courtroom in Walterboro, South Carolina, would see two versions of Mr Murdaugh. One seemed tired, his voice lilting and thin. His clothes hung loose; months in prison had whittled down his formerly heavy frame. He rocked back and forth, shook his head from side to side, and wept.

The other seemed much more like the man that other witnesses had described – savvy and charming, once a formidable player in the state’s clubby legal circuit. This Mr Murdaugh addressed the jury directly, was relaxed and in control.

“What a tangled web we weave,” he told them.

This was one creepy family with a new rumour that the sons beat a local boy to death for fun.

The RCMP says it is investigating serious allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity stemming from Russia’s war on Ukraine — but it warns that getting cases to the prosecution stage could take years.

“We really try to manage expectations, to say this may be quite a process to investigate something,” said Cpl. Kate Walaszczyk, an investigator with the RCMP’s Ukraine war crimes unit.

“It can take quite some time.”

Vile Mohammedan member of woke Virginia school board slams Battle of Iwo Jima as ‘evil’: Previously moaned that moment of silence for 9/11 attacks ’caused harm’

A member of the same Virginia school board that came under fire for withholding information about students’ scholarships has raised eyebrows by saying the Battle of Iwo Jima, a major US victory against the Japan in World War II, was ‘evil’ and should not have happened.

The comments were made Thursday by Fairfax County board member Abrar Omeish, 28, in reference to the Day of Remembrance, a day of observance for the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. The holiday occurs on the same calendar day as the first US landings on the island of Iwo Jima on February 19, 1945.

Covid Hermit Rubbish

A mother was so terrified of catching Covid that she locked herself and her son in their two-bed flat for three years.

Munmun Majhi, 33, and her son, aged 10, were rescued by police on Wednesday February 22 after they spent three years locked inside their home in the city of Gurugram, in Haryana State, India.

The 33-year-old mother was so petrified that they would contract the virus if they stepped outside, that she did not let her husband, Sujan Majhi, enter his own home just one day after the first lockdown.

BC Teacher Fired After Comment on Residential School Deaths

A B.C. high school teacher was escorted out of his classroom by two staff members after telling students the majority of residential school deaths were caused by illness.

“I was walked out like a criminal. They can’t walk a teacher out of school unless the teacher is a direct harm and immediate harm to children,” Jim McMurtry of Abbotsford, B.C., told The Epoch Times. “I wasn’t a harm to children because I made one comment that was historically true.”

The University of Cambridge barred white working-class students from one of its postgraduate courses

The University of Cambridge barred white working-class students from one of its postgraduate courses, the Telegraph can reveal.

The institution’s School of Arts and Humanities internally promoted “an exciting new widening participation project” that will “give an opportunity for students from under-represented groups to experience postgraduate research at Cambridge”.

The school, one of six at Cambridge that oversee degrees across all the colleges, told lecturers it was “more reliant on Oxbridge applicants than most other schools”, at around 40 per cent per year, compared to 25 to 30 per cent university-wide.
