Up to 4.8 million new homes needed over next decade to restore affordability: CMHC

Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. says up to 4.8 million new homes will need to be built over the next decade to restore affordability levels last seen in 2019 based on projected demand.

The national housing agency released its latest supply gaps estimate report today, which says between 430,000 and 480,000 new housing units are needed per year across the ownership and rental markets by 2035.

That would represent around double the current pace of home construction in Canada, with 90,760 housing starts recorded so far this year through May.

Canada can’t build that many homes.

FBI emails expose Biden DOJ’s obsession with piling on Trump charges

Internal FBI emails reveal that rogue agents and prosecutors in the Biden DOJ were looking for ways to pile on new criminal charges against Donald Trump over the Jan. 6 Capitol riot — this time over his involvement with the J6 prisoner choir, based on a single partisan news article.

The 2023 emails obtained by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and revealed exclusively to The Post are an example of the nitpicking malice of anti-Trump lawfare that tainted special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation, during Joe Biden’s presidency.

Target: Iran. US forces are ready to deliver the second heaviest bunker buster ever made

The US armed forces have made various significant moves in recent days and months, clearly in preparation for strikes on Iran.

First, in March, B-2 Stealth bombers were deployed to Diego Garcia in the middle of the Indian Ocean – a good base for operations against Iran. The B-2s cost more than a billion dollars each and the US only has 19 of them (21 were built but two have been wrecked in accidents): they are only used for the most important operations.

Canada to limit foreign steel imports to help producers hit by U.S. tariffs

Prime Minister Mark Carney is taking some action to crack down on the dumping of cheap foreign steel into Canada to help the country’s big three steel producers reeling from U.S. President Donald Trump’s 50-per-cent tariffs.

Mr. Carney in a press conference in Ottawa on Thursday said the government will limit steel imports from countries that don’t have a free trade agreement with Canada to 2024 levels.

Ukraine has a problem no one is talking about – young women are leaving in droves

In a classroom in western Ukraine, a group of teenagers are thinking about their futures.

Seventeen-year-old Kira Yukhymenko had always planned to go to university in her home country, but in between sitting her final exams this month, she has been dreaming of leaving to study abroad.

“The war has helped us understand who we are,” she said during a discussion in an English lesson at her school, Lyceum 88, in Lviv. “It has broadened our horizons and also made us more independent.”

If Iran collapses, regime officials likely to flee to Canada

With the Islamic Republic of Iran seemingly on the edge of collapse, there’s a good chance its surviving inner circle may attempt to flee to Canada.

That’s according to security analyst Casey Babb, and it follows a lengthy track record of Canada serving as a covert haven for Iranian regime officials.

Too Much Bad News? News Avoidance On The Rise

The war in Ukraine, tensions in the Middle East, tariffs, inflation and so on and so forth. It sometimes feels like there’s no end to bad news, and, especially in the age of doom scrolling, that can take a toll on people’s mental wellbeing. As a consequence, more and more people actively try to avoid the news or at least ration their exposure to it.

Canadians fleeing war in Iran face obstacles in absence of diplomatic ties

Canadian physician Panid Borhanjoo woke up on Friday morning in Iran’s cottage country to an onslaught of messages from family and friends asking if he was safe.

He turned on the news in his relatives’ home in Mazandaran, a lush, coastal province on the Caspian Sea. Israeli missiles had destroyed Iranian nuclear facilities and killed high-ranking military personnel in Tehran, about 200 kilometres away. War had erupted.

Update: Canada will help facilitate flights for citizens leaving Israel and Iran, Anand says

Another wheel has just flown off the EV dream

They will save the planet, they are quieter, they will rebuild local industries, and they even come with attractive tax breaks. Re-wind a couple of years, and there were plenty of reasons for buying a shiny new Tesla or Polestar electric vehicle instead of an old-fashioned, high-pollution, petrol or diesel car.

And yet, one by one, all those arguments have been punctured. They won’t help the environment as much as we think, they are mostly made in China, the tax breaks are gone, and now we learn that they are more likely to break down as well.

If you were not already worried enough about where the heck you might be able to recharge your electric car during a long drive over the summer, now there is something else to fret about as well.

But they told us EV’s won’t need much repair!

A Canada-Israel rift is widening over UN votes and sanctions

Carney and Islamophobia Tsar – gets assurance daughter won’t be tossed off roof.

Israel’s war with Iran has temporarily delayed a reckoning with some of its main Western allies, but seems unlikely to close what has become a yawning gap between them over its conduct in Gaza and the West Bank.

“The relationship’s not in great shape,” said former Canadian ambassador to Israel Jon Allen. “Frankly, it shouldn’t be.”

The gulf between the Canadian and Israeli governments widened further on June 12 as the Carney government took a firmer position against Israel’s war in Gaza than its predecessor, voting for a UN motion similar to one that the Trudeau government had abstained on in September.

A school bus driver who wore a schoolgirl’s uniform while driving a vehicle with a “Lolita’s Line” sign in the window will no longer be working for the York Catholic District School Board, a spokesperson has told National Post.
