Douglas Todd: Famous New Zealand study may not actually show mass upzoning works
It’s the study heard around the world, often cited as the answer to the housing-affordability crisis in big cities.
The research purported to show that blanket property upzoning in pricey Auckland, New Zealand, led to a dramatic increase in new housing units. It has drawn remarkable attention this year across the English-speaking world.
Asylum seekers are sleeping on Toronto streets again. How did we end up here?
Hundreds of people — including those seeking asylum — have once again taken to sleeping on Toronto’s streets in front of shelters and churches.
The city’s shelter system is once again at capacity, turning away nearly 300 people a day, the city said Thursday. While it’s continuously moving “dozens” of people from overflowing churches to shelters, hotels or permanent housing where possible, it is nowhere close to meeting demand, said Lindsay Broadhead, the city’s chief communication officer.

On Saturdays a hired bus arrives and unloads what I suspect to be newly arrived “asylum seekers” as many as 30 0r 40 wait outside for processing.
Chrystia Freeland acknowledges that MPs’ ignorance of history made Nazi controversy even worse
OTTAWA — Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland acknowledged publicly Thursday a truth at the heart of the controversy over a Ukrainian war veteran’s visit to Parliament last month: none of the MPs present realized they were applauding someone who had fought with the Nazis, and their ignorance is a factor in the pain the incident has caused.
Just like she never asked Granpappy what he did in the war.
Liberal MP with degree in Russian history and Slavonic studies from Oxford University had no idea a WWII veteran of the Ukranian 14th Waffen Grenadier division of the SS could be a Nazi. I guess Rhodes scholars aren't what they used to be.pic.twitter.com/MGpzu4ACUo

China’s growing use of coal fed by the longest coal transporting railway – which carries 200 MILLION tons of coal 1,141 MILES annually
China continues to move hundreds of millions of tons of coal across its railway system each year, drawing ire from Western pundits as other countries are forcing citizens to ‘go green’ and reduce their carbon footprint.
Scottish journalist Andrew Neil recently ripped Western governments in the wake of China’s projects, such as the Menghua Railway, which is the longest-coal transporting train in the world.
The 1,141-mile railway moves 200million tons of coal each year as fossil fuel use – and traditional greenhouse gas emissions – continue to skyrocket in the communist nation.
Open Drug Use, Other ‘Big City’ Problems Proliferate in Smalltown Ontario
COBOURG, Ont.—About six years ago, Jamie Briscoe first saw someone smoking drugs off a piece of tinfoil—a method for consuming crack-cocaine, heroin, and other hard drugs—near his home in the little lakeside town of Cobourg, Ontario.
“I was just mind-blown that there was somebody sitting there in the middle of the day doing drugs and nobody was doing anything about it,” he told The Epoch Times. Now, it’s a daily sight, he said.
Nazi card proves Dutch Prince Bernhard joined Hitler’s party
The Dutch government has confirmed the authenticity of a Nazi party card held by Prince Bernhard, prince consort for decades after World War Two.
A former head of the palace archives, Flip Maarschalkerweerd, said he found the card while going through the prince’s things after his death.
Bernhard, a German aristocrat, repeatedly denied being a member of Adolf Hitler’s NSDAP political party.
However, historians gave little credence to his denials.

Men Dominate Job Fair for Women, ‘Non-Binary’ People in Tech by Misrepresenting Their ‘Gender Identities’
A significant number of men misrepresented their gender identities to attend last week’s Grace Hopper Celebration, an annual convention and career fair intended for “women and non-binary technologists.”
