More than 84,300 houses across Ontario — around the number you’d find in a mid-sized city like Markham — were owned as investments by businesses or for-profit government entities such as public-sector pension funds in 2023, according to data from the Canadian Housing Statistics Program.
This data, released in recent months, offers a glimpse at where, and how acutely, businesses of all types have invested in Canadian single-family housing stock.
A few weeks back, the Financial Times declared that Britain is no longer a global power.
It’s hard to dispute that statement. In fact, the FT was only saying aloud what everybody around the world has been thinking for quite a while.
Liberal MP Chris d’Entremont, who crossed the floor from the Conservatives in November, says current Conservative MPs have “absolutely” asked him what it’s like being a Liberal.
“They want to know what the caucus structure is, what we talk about, what kind of input that we have in decision making,” d’Entremont told host Mike Le Couteur in an interview on CTV Power Play Wednesday.
Every last defector will regret their actions.
Liberal filmmaker Michael Moore torched the US as the “bad guys” in the war with Iran – while hailing the Middle Eastern nation as one of the world’s “greatest civilizations” in a deranged online tirade.
The documentarian unleashed the frenzied rant on Tuesday, calling President Trump a “terrorist” for threatening a “holocaust” after the commander in chief warned Iran that its “whole civilization” would be wiped out if the nation failed to cut a ceasefire deal to open the Strait of Hormuz and end the six-week conflict.
I had forgot all about this clown.
If you like taking the ferry to the islands, how about taking one to get around Toronto’s mainland?
Waterfront Toronto announced this week that it has selected an operator for an east-west water shuttle pilot project, to run from June to September for three years.
Washington Post columnist Shadi Hamid is making the case that Muslims don’t need to assimilate in America.
“The assimilation defense — look how well we’ve integrated — is satisfying to make. But it concedes a premise I no longer accept: that a minority community’s right to be in the United States depends on its willingness to converge with the cultural mainstream. It shouldn’t depend on that. It shouldn’t depend on anything,” Hamid wrote Wednesday.
I agree they shouldn’t have to assimilate because they shouldn’t be here to begin with.
Will & Grace star Debra Messing is catching hell for escaping New York City at some resort in Iceland.
Messing, who has publicly campaigned for and supported Democrat politicians for at least three decades, wrote…
“Sometimes you just have to run away… I have been open about the struggles I’ve had, like all of you, with the hate and violence seen across the globe,” she confessed on her X account.
One of the key masterminds behind Canada’s largest gold heist — the brazen theft of $22.5 million in gold and cash from Toronto’s Pearson airport three years ago — has been sentenced to just four years behind bars.
Less credit for pre-sentence custody, the relieved Arsalan Chaudhary has just 42 months left to serve. But that’s not the entirety of his sentence: Ontario Court Justice Shannon McPherson ordered the 44-year-old to pay back $22 million to Brinks — a restitution order that will stand for 40 years.
The FBI has arrested a former military special operations employee accused of providing classified information to the media, the agency’s director Kash Patel announced on Wednesday.
The US Department of Justice said in a press release that the former employee, identified as Courtney Williams, 40, was arrested on Tuesday and indicted on Wednesday for allegedly sharing classified material with a journalist.
While the journalist is not named in the criminal complaint, Williams was interviewed by the investigative reporter Seth Harp for his 2025 nonfiction book about Fort Bragg, the North Carolina headquarters of the US Army’s Delta Force, a clandestine special operations unit.
It was during the 1964 U.S. Supreme Court case Jacobellis v. Ohio on hardcore pornographers that Justice Potter Stewart famously offered as a threshold test for obscenity: “I know it when I see it.”
The news of Conservative MP Marilyn Gladu’s defection to the Liberals will shock many Canadian voters. It’s timely then to explore the question: are any floor crossings defendable or even laudatory?
Rat infestation.
Donald Trump has again attacked Nato for not supporting the US in the Iran war, following a private meeting with its Secretary General Mark Rutte at the White House.
In a post shared to Truth Social after the meeting, the US President said: “NATO WASN’T THERE WHEN WE NEEDED THEM, AND THEY WON’T BE THERE IF WE NEED THEM AGAIN.”
Meanwhile, Rutte has described his meeting to CNN with Trump as “very frank” and “very open”, despite clear disagreements.
OTTAWA — A new poll finds that support for Alberta separatism is at its highest level in at least five years, with a fall independence referendum looking increasingly likely.
The poll, taken by Pollara Strategic Insights, shows that 27 per cent of decided voters in Alberta would vote for the province to separate from Canada. This is a seven point increase from December 2025 and a record-high over the five years Pollara has spent tracking support for independence among Albertans.
Under cover of darkness on the night of April 6–7, a series of coordinated arson attacks struck multiple sites connected to the arms industry in France’s Cher department, raising concerns about targeted sabotage and the security of critical infrastructure. Far from being isolated incidents, they reflect a worrying trend: that of radical activism reaching a new level by directly targeting the country’s strategic industrial capabilities in a climate of relative leniency and underestimation of the phenomenon.
For those who don't speak Woke Retard, I looked it up and apparently MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ means "Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, and Asexual."

Negotiations to renew North America’s free-trade deal are likely to extend beyond July 1 and lead to separate agreements with Canada and Mexico, the top U.S. negotiator says.
U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer told attendees at an April 7 event at the Hudson Institute in Washington that the White House may need to take steps to reframe the way the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) functions to successfully negotiate with each country.
