Wait times for most priority surgeries in Ontario have increased since 2017, study says

Wait times for most of the province’s publicly funded priority surgeries and procedures have increased between 2017 and 2025, according to a study released Monday.

MRI scans, cataract surgeries and all cancer surgeries are among eight priority procedures that saw increased wait times during the period, out of a total of 12, according to the study published by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA).

“It’s deeply alarming that so much money has been spent on for-profit surgeries and, yet, we don’t have the results to show what Ontarians are getting for those dollars,” said Andrew Longhurst, senior researcher at the centre.


I bet people abandoned OHIP in such numbers the private system is overwhelmed.

And what role does dumping the 3rd World into the mix have to do with this?

‘It’s hard to sell a house when it’s covered in baboon faeces’: Cape Town divided over plan to remove its monkeys

‘It’s hard to sell a house when it’s covered in baboon faeces’: Cape Town divided over plan to remove its monkeys

Cape Town’s city council has said it will “imminently” round up two baboon troops coming into repeated conflict with residents. The animals will be sterilised and permanently moved to a newly constructed sanctuary. The plan has been fiercely criticised by animal rights activists, who say the monkeys should remain roaming freely, and that less destructive options have not been properly considered.

Internal Montreal police documents describe ‘radicalized’ subculture among officers

Internal Montreal police documents describe ‘radicalized’ subculture among officers

MONTREAL — A “radicalized” subculture formed among the ranks of officers at a Montreal police station in a multicultural neighbourhood before it was rocked by allegations of racism and criminal misconduct, newly released internal briefing notes say.

The documents, obtained by The Canadian Press through access to information legislation, are part of a package prepared for the appearance of Fady Dagher, Montreal’s police chief, before a municipal public safety committee in August.


No description of the subculture is provided but the ususal “experts” suggest it was white supremacist in nature.

“White supremacist” is the new one size fits all slur for Canadians’ trying to protect their culture and values from the government’s assault by mass immigration from incompatible cultures, ruinous aboriginal policy and the ongoing erasure of our heritage.

Hateful propaganda such as this article will serve to spur many more to stand up for their rights against the racist proponents of mass immigration.

Canada did not see historic population decline last year, StatsCan says after second look

Canada did not see historic population decline last year, StatsCan says after second look

Canada’s population saw a slight bump in 2025, Statistics Canada says, revising a previous estimate that showed the population decreased for the first time in the country’s history.

The statistics agency released new numbers last week that suggest the population grew slightly, by 280,810 people, in all of 2025.

The new estimate is a revision from data released in March that indicated the country had seen an annual net decline in residents for the first time since Confederation.


280K 3rd World Migrants is just dandy by CBC standards. They should all move in to CBC HQ.

10 Muslims jailed for 130 years after setting a mother and girl on fire

Ten men have been jailed for a combined 130 years after a mother was set on fire in a revenge attack that also seriously injured a teenage girl.

To escape the flames at a house on Beverley Drive in Stoke-on-Trent, on the night of 16 December 2021, both victims were forced to jump from an upstairs window they had smashed.

The convictions of the 10 men involved came after an 11-week trial at Nottingham Crown Court, which ended in February, alongside a number of guilty pleas entered before the trial began.

How a former actress turned private eye ended up in the crosshairs of the Project South police corruption probe

It took less than five minutes to install the GPS tracker.

Surveillance footage from a drizzly January night earlier this year reportedly captured the scene as former actress turned private investigator Jennifer Jasey allegedly snuck into a parking garage, found the car she was after, had the device stuck on its undercarriage and slipped back into the elevator.

In the days that followed, Jasey is alleged to have used the tracker to follow the car’s owner, a woman in the process of divorcing an ex-husband she accused of domestic abuse, in an effort to find out where she lived and whether she had a boyfriend.

Toronto and Vancouver ranked among the weakest real estate markets in the world.

Toronto and Vancouver ranked among the weakest real estate markets in the world.

Toronto went from the strongest real estate market in the world to one of the weakest in a span of four years, with a new report finding housing prices in the city have fallen by around 30 per cent since peaking in 2022.

UBS, a global wealth management firm, published its annual Global Real Estate Bubble Index on Monday, tracking residential prices across 23 cities worldwide, like Amsterdam, Dubai, New York City, and Tokyo.

The report delved into housing price trends, what kind of housing bubble risk these cities are facing, how long it takes to buy a 650-square-foot apartment on an average income, and how the cost of homeownership compares to rent for comparable homes.

Trump blasts Canada, says tariffs can fund $5,000 payments

Woke Grad School Teacher Programs Help Explain Why The Kids Can’t Read

Woke Grad School Teacher Programs Help Explain Why The Kids Can’t Read

he New York Times featured an in-depth essay from writer Nikole Hannah-Jones last week about the lamentable state of elementary and secondary education in the United States. The essay’s contents deserve (and are receiving) much criticism, thanks in part to Hannah-Jones sacrificing her daughter’s educational outcomes on the altar of wokeness and racism. But moral failings aside, the “1619 Project” author shines a spotlight on the failures plaguing American students not just in inner cities but across the map.
