We simply don’t have enough money to solve Canada’s housing crisis
It is now widely understood that Canada’s housing market is critically undersupplied. A 2022 study by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. reported that the country will need to produce 3.5 million more housing units than are currently in the delivery pipeline by 2030, to restore housing affordability.
Yet it is obvious that we will not be able to correct this situation by 2030, and probably not even by 2040.
Every “New Housing” announcement made by the Liberals is Hot Air.
Nothing they have done to date will have significant impact on the housing and affordability crisis.
The decision to continue their massively harmful immigration policy shows they do not care about you and your family.
Stop voting for people that hate you.

Police were called over a community council meeting at which homophobic remarks were allegedly made about a transgender laird.

Ms Kane, who goes by Lady Carbisdale, has pledged to sink millions of pounds into restoring the category B-listed 19-bedroom manor, which is close to Ardgay, around 30 miles north of Inverness.
Adam Zivo: Queer progressives who whitewash Hamas’s homophobia are deluding themselves
Amid renewed conflict in Gaza, a startling number of queer progressives are romanticizing Palestinians and playing down their hatred towards LGBTQ people. This whitewashing is wrong, no matter how legitimate Palestinian calls for self-determination may be.
Germany: Teens allegedly planned Christmas market attack

Foreign-born population of US tops 49 million for first time ever: study
Nearly 50 million people living in the US were born in another country according to a shocking new report.
A new study by the Center for Immigration Studies found 49.5 million people — around 15% of the 330 million US population — were originally born in another country.
The report also states this percentage, the highest ever recorded since the nation’s founding, has increased during Biden’s presidency, which it attributes to migrants flooding into the country during the current border crisis.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Countries are poised to seal a hard-fought agreement on Thursday for the creation of an international fund to help communities rebuild from climate-driven calamities, giving the U.N. climate talks a bit of a win on their opening day.
The hosts of the summit, known as COP28, released a draft agreement on Wednesday that would accept wholesale the recommendations a handful of countries adopted earlier this month. It includes a provision, demanded by the United States, that says all contributions to the fund are voluntary.
Trial for ‘Freedom Convoy’ organizers tackles central question: was protest lawful?
OTTAWA – The lawyers involved in the criminal trial of two “Freedom Convoy” organizers are finally confronting the central question of the case: whether or not the 2022 protest that gridlocked Canada’s national capital for weeks was a legal expression of Charter rights.
Chris Barber and Tamara Lich, two of the most prominent leaders of the protest, have maintained that their only objective throughout the convoy was to organize and oversee a peaceful and legal demonstration, and that they encouraged people to follow the law.
Woke publishers ‘paid huge sums for books that flopped’
Inexperienced editors hired in a drive to diversify big publishing houses in the wake of the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020 are said to have paid huge advances for books that became commercial flops.
There has been a growing politicisation of publishing, industry insiders told the Free Press website, with books expected to espouse ideas about racial justice and racism such as those that suggest people from ethnic minorities are the victims of white supremacy.
