B.C. developers say they don’t want government buyout for empty condos
Real estate developers are pushing back against claims that a new federal-provincial program to buy up empty condos is something the industry asked for, with the Urban Development Institute and others saying that it isn’t a bailout and won’t help their sector.
Two weeks ago, Premier David Eby and Prime Minister Mark Carney said they are putting together a plan to buy more than 2,200 unsold local condos and provide them as affordable housing.

‘Like good Mexicans, we laugh’: the cartoonist drawing humour from Sinaloa’s brutal drug cartels
Spare a thought for the mid-level narco.
What to do with all the bodies? Where to find a corrupt cop worth his salt? And how to catch the eye of that former beauty queen?
Such are the struggles of El Ñacas and El Tacuachi, the two sicarios – cartel gunmen – who are the stars of a cartoon that has been satirising the underworld of Mexico’s Sinaloa state for two decades, even as the reality has darkened by the day.
A snapshot of life in a Narco State.
We in Canada should not be smug in judging our “free trade” partner.
FIFA is no Taylor Swift, new data shows. Why the World Cup isn’t delivering a massive economic boom for Toronto
The World Cup has been a bit of a miss for Toronto hotels. For other parts of the economy? It’s no Taylor Swift.
According to data released this week by payments processing giant Moneris, spending by international tourists in the Toronto area has been up in several key categories since the World Cup kicked off, but total spending by locals, domestic tourists and international tourist, has only been marginally higher than the rate of inflation.
No Taylor Swift will eventually be revealed as BIG Fat Tab for the taxpayer to pay.

GOLDSTEIN: Carney’s pivot on climate change the right move, but is it real?
Prime Minister Mark Carney’s pre-Canada Day pivot away from Justin Trudeau’s failed $200-billion-plus climate strategy, after supporting it up to late last year, is a classic example of what makes the public cynical about politics.
The timing was strategic, after Parliament had adjourned for the summer and the day before Canada Day, when Canadians were thinking about barbecues and fireworks, not industrial greenhouse gas emission targets.
“The Great Negotiator Carney” having zero success beyond Eurovision and accelerating ChiCom infiltration needed some good PR knowing CUSMA was not going to be renewed.
So he tossed some crumbs to the peasants by “renouncing” Trudeau’s nation killing green-scam.
Don’t believe it, Carney wants Canada destroyed as much as Junior did.
Next he’ll have CBC telling us that it was Poilievre’s idea to bail out his Developer bagmen.
Many Suspect COVID-19 Outbreak Was Not Accidental
Recent revelations about the origins of the COVID-19 virus have heightened suspicions many Americans have about both the pandemic and the vaccines used to treat it.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 45% of American Adults consider it likely that the COVID-19 pandemic was part of a secret plan by global elites to reduce worldwide population, including 24% who think it’s Very Likely. This view of the virus as “a population control scheme” has been called COVID-19 misinformation. Forty-five percent (45%) don’t believe this explanation is likely, including 30% who say it is Not At All Likely, while 10% are not sure.
Trump isn’t extending CUSMA trade deal, so what happens now?
The Trump administration surprised no one with its long-expected announcement Wednesday that the U.S. would not join Canada and Mexico in extending the free trade deal between the three countries.
Where things go from here, however, with renegotiating the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) is anyone’s guess.
One thing is certain: the deal remains in effect while the negotiations happen, as it doesn’t expire for another 10 years.

Jamie Sarkonak: The progressive, anti-science surrender to mosquitos
In 2022, when Edmonton decided to stop airdropping mosquito-larva-eating bacteria into bodies of water and opt for more “natural” methods of pest control, experts warned that mosquito populations in the city could double. Well, anyone in the city who walked in grass last weekend will tell you that this grim prophecy has come true: we’re in a mosquitopocalypse.
