Rents are still rising in Canada but the year-over-year pace of growth has slowed, according to a new report.
The data from Rentals.ca and Urbanation says asking rents for all residential property types averaged $2,201 in July, up 5.9 per cent from last year.
The year-over-year increase is the slowest rise since early 2022, while more recently, growth has often topped 10 per cent, the report said.
For those who are out on the water near the Erie bayfront attempting to catch the Lake Erie alligator, Jayson Olsen from Siren’s Nest of Exotic Rescue has some advice: Leave the task to the professionals.
Olsen, 38, was out on Lake Erie around the foot of East Avenue where the alleged alligator was initially spotted. His journey began early Wednesday morning. Since then he has encountered individuals who are also seeking the alligator.
I bet they blame Global Warming.

The Hijacking of Canadian Democracy by Anita Vandenbeld
… But this week, I closed my constituency office because I fear for my safety and that of my staff. Headlines in mainstream media about me scream “Abuse survivor demands Liberal MP apologize after testimony ‘hijacked’ in chaotic House committee” and “Witnesses storm out of House committee in tears, decrying Liberal politicization”. Social media posts include comments like “It sounds like Anita has to get assaulted viciously to take this issue more seriously”, “Look at this fat POS, someone put her out of her misery”, “I guess these women would change their mind if it happened to them or someone they love”, and worse. My car license plate was posted online. How did we get to this point?
The Harris 2024 campaign was unable to explain why Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) falsely claimed to be “in war,” or address any of the stolen valor accusations plaguing new Democrat vice presidential nominee for the past two days.
OTTAWA – After an independent review, Justice Minister Arif Virani announced Wednesday that Birju Dattani has agreed not to begin his appointment as chief commissioner of the Canadian Human Rights Commission on Thursday as planned.
Virani launched the investigation after Canadian Jewish organizations raised concerns about allegations surrounding Dattani’s past activities.
Dattani, the first Muslim and racialized person to be appointed to the role, has previously denied allegations that he made anti-Israel statements, including what Conservatives characterize as a “justification of terrorism.”

Last autumn, B.C.’s top doctor, Bonnie Henry, commissioned a confidential report from American drug policy expert Jonathan Caulkins examining the “economics” of safer supply diversion. The document, which was completed in March, was apparently so secret that even Premier David Eby was unaware of it — when news of its existence leaked in April, he told reporters that he was blindsided.
Flatulence is a fact of life, although social mores apply, but a judge has ruled that breaking wind on a younger colleague at work amounts to age discrimination.
At the centre of what could be the start of defining legal boundaries on the matter are two Birmingham city council workers. Lee Marsh, a manager in his late fifties, was said to have found it “amusing” to pass wind on a younger colleague eating his lunch.

Author Jordan Peterson’s legal battle with the College of Psychologists of Ontario (CPO) has come to an end.
On Thursday, the Supreme Court of Canada dismissed his application for leave to appeal from the judgment of the Court of Appeal of Ontario with costs. No reasons were given.
Peterson had asked Canada’s highest court to consider hearing an appeal of a decision upholding a lower court ruling that he take social media training as ordered by the College. Peterson has been a registered clinical psychologist since 1999, but has not had a clinical practice since 2017.

… These ordinary people don’t want to “weaponize the deaths of the children”. They want a government whose policies no longer get their children killed. And when democratic and civil processes are all closed to them due to a classist, corrupt, bloated bureaucracy … they will resort to Violence. It is simply human nature.
Peaceful protest is a group-bonding, luxury activity. Serious protest is violent and ugly – and it is the only thing that can affect real change when a government is against the common man in every way. When the democratic system no longer works, and is corrupt from root to shoot, there is nothing more that can be done.

Douglas Todd: It’s become the new thing among the West’s centre-left politicians — to regret the super-charged migration rates of the past three years. And acknowledging they’ve been hurting the finances of many, including the young.
It has become the new thing among centre-left politicians — to bemoan the super-charged migration rates of the past three years.
Australia’s Labour Prime Minister Anthony Albanese now says his country’s migration system “isn’t working properly.”
Britain’s new Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer says his nation needs to be “less reliant on migration.”
Unfortunately for Canadian citizens mass immigration is seen as a weapon by the Liberal-Left and their corporate cronies.
Trudeau and Singh see identity politics as the path to electoral success and as the means to destroy the white working class that rejects their elite values of diversity, multiculturalism, DEI and CRT all of which have been used to demonize and discriminate against Whites because … our skin is white.
The Trudeau government considers it mission accomplished to have caused serious harm to Canada’s demographic by the mass import of incompatible cultures resulting in a low trust balkanized society.
As for Canada’s corporate welfare class they love driving down wages by employing cheap foreign labour. Getting caught is just the cost of doing business.
And of course there’s profits galore just waiting for those able to exploit the shortages mass immigration brings.
But it’s all legal of course just like the Nuremberg Laws.

The BBC tracks down a Canadian hockey player, a dad in Pakistan and a Texan named Kevin linked to Channel3Now.
What connects a dad living in Lahore in Pakistan, an amateur hockey player from Nova Scotia – and a man named Kevin from Houston, Texas?
They’re all linked to Channel3Now – a website whose story giving a false name for the 17-year-old charged over the Southport attack was widely quoted in viral posts on X. Channel3Now also wrongly suggested the attacker was an asylum seeker who arrived in the UK by boat last year.
This, combined with untrue claims the attacker was a Muslim from other sources, has been widely blamed for contributing to riots across the UK – some of which have targeted mosques and Muslim communities.
The UK is now seeing Soviet levels of propaganda with fake stories of '100 riots planned' by the 'far-right' which never happened supplanted with puff pieces for regime backed far-left 'counter-demonstrations'.#TwoTierKier pic.twitter.com/MwbMPl6kIQ
