A slim majority of Canadians believe that reducing home prices is more important than keeping them stable, but most still feel that housing affordability is unlikely to improve in the next five years, according to a new poll.
The survey, conducted for The Globe and Mail by Nanos Research, found that 52 per cent of Canadians said reducing prices was necessary, while only 35 per cent felt prices should be kept stable. Thirteen per cent of respondents were unsure.
When Donald Trump’s Department of Justice requested the release of grand jury transcripts in criminal proceedings against sex-traffickers Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, the move did little to quiet an ever-growing chorus of critics frustrated by the US president’s backtracking over disclosing investigative files.
Indeed, the justice department’s filings in this request revealed that only two law enforcement officers testified during grand jury proceedings in New York, undermining notions that unsealing them would reveal numerous truths.
Canadian judges love to toss out the old “cruel and unusual” chestnut when it suits their ideological whims.
The violent illegal immigrant whose deportation is iced because it might be “cruel and unusual.”
Mandatory minimum sentences for gun crimes? “Cruel and unusual.”
You can’t make this up.
The Pee Tape people are back at it, very upset that Trump and Putin are speaking. They see Trump negotiating peace with Putin as the ultimate betrayal of America and NATO, which begs the question: Why are they so desperate for war in the first place?
Air Canada flight attendants will defy the back-to-work order and remain on strike after the federal government ordered binding arbitration to end the work stoppage, the Canadian Union of Public Employees told Radio-Canada on Sunday.
The union, which represents the 10,000 flight attendants, has accused federal Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu of caving to Air Canada’s demands.
An internal investigation conducted by the World Economic Forum has determined that there was no evidence that founder and former chairman Klaus Schwab committed wrongdoing during his time at the helm of the top globalist institution.
Seems legit.

It’s a small change that risks cultivating a big debate.
On one side is the principle of farmer’s privilege — the traditional right of Canadian farmers to save seeds at the end of a growing season and reuse them the next year.
On the other is the principle of plant breeders’ rights — the right of those who develop new seeds and plants to protect and profit from their discoveries.
The issue has been dormant for a decade. Now, proposed changes to government rules regarding plant breeders’ rights are reviving that debate.

Uncle Sam. Miami Vice. When it comes to recruiting new Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, the Trump administration is getting creative.
A social-media campaign launched late last month touted immigration enforcement as an opportunity for father-son bonding and to “deport illegals with your absolute boys,” a slang term for close friends. The Department of Homeland Security has invoked world-war-era imagery and touted 1990s Superman actor Dean Cain in an all-out blitz to persuade Americans they should join ICE’s ranks.
This week, the Toronto International Film Festival attempted to cancel, then reinstated, the screening of The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue, a documentary on a retired Israeli general’s successful attempt to rescue his family during the October 7, 2023, terror attacks by Hamas.
The organizers of TIFF reportedly claimed they needed Hamas’s permission to show the footage of the extreme violence from October 7 found on the GoPros of Hamas terrorists.
Muslim hate will not be stopped by recognizing a Pallie State and it won’t be stopped even if Israel were were wiped off the map.
Islam is a murder cult and they will eventually come for you.
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — European and NATO leaders announced Sunday they will join President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Washington for talks with President Donald Trump about ending Russia’s war in Ukraine. They are rallying around the Ukrainian leader after his exclusion from Trump’s summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The remarkable show of solidarity — with leaders from France, Britain and Germany saying they would be at Zelenskyy’s side at the White House on Monday — was an apparent effort to ensure the meeting goes better than the last one in February, when Trump berated Zelenskyy in a heated Oval Office encounter.
“The Europeans are very afraid of the Oval Office scene being repeated and so they want to support Mr. Zelenskyy to the hilt,” said retired French Gen. Dominique Trinquand, a former head of France’s military mission at the United Nations.
This should be fun.
My guess is Trump will reveal the deal he and Putin worked out and this meeting may just be a courtesy to inform Zelensky and Europe of those terms.
Their acceptance will dictate the depth of continued US participation.
After almost four decades of Canadian governments setting and failing to hit eight consecutive targets for reducing Canada’s industrial greenhouse gas emissions, surely it’s time to admit the targets are meaningless.
Far from being “aspirational” as supporters claim, they in fact deceive Canadians about the effectiveness of federal spending of more than $200 billion of taxpayers’ money on climate change (as of 2023) on 149 federal programs administered by 13 government departments, since the Liberal government came to power in 2015.
Ronnie Rondell Jr – who was famously set alight for the front cover of Pink Floyd’s iconic Wish You Were Here album cover – has died at the age of 88.
The Hollywood stuntman and actor died on 12 August at a care home in the US state of Missouri, according to an online obituary.
OTTAWA—The safest assumption in Canadian politics right now is that Pierre Poilievre is going to win Monday’s federal byelection in Battle River—Crowfoot.
In interviews this week with Conservative insiders, in most every pundit’s analysis, and in the strategizing of politicos of all stripes, it’s taken as a given: the Tory leader will be back in the House of Commons for the fall sitting of Parliament. After all, since he lost in April’s general election the riding he represented on Ottawa’s suburban-rural fringe for 20 years, Poilievre is now running in a sprawling Alberta constituency that polling expert Éric Grenier has deemed “one of the safest Conservative seats in all of Canada.” His short-lived parliamentary exile is almost certainly coming to an end.
