40% of New UK Homes Could House Migrants by 2030

New analysis from the Conservative Party warns that nearly four in ten newly built homes in the UK by 2030 may be required to accommodate incoming migrants. Drawing on projections from the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), the report estimates that net migration between 2026 and 2030 will reach almost 1.2 million people, creating demand for roughly 500,000 additional homes.

The OBR projects that around 1.34 million new homes will be delivered over the same period, meaning that 37.1% of all housing could be allocated to new arrivals, with the proportion rising to nearly 40% by 2030.

Don Cherry should not receive Order of Canada, say some Quebec Conservatives

Opposition is mounting among Quebec’s federal Conservatives to their own party’s push to award the Order of Canada to controversial hockey commentator Don Cherry.

In a social media post late Thursday, the party’s Quebec lieutenant Pierre Paul-Hus said he believes appointing Cherry would be “a bad idea” given his “unacceptable remarks toward the Quebec nation and francophones.”

The Order of Canada is awarded in recognition of exceptional achievements, extraordinary contributions to the nation or remarkable dedication to a community.

Suicide drones hit Tehran as instability mounts inside Iran

Overnight on Wednesday, around 100 Basij soldiers were killed across Tehran by dozens to hundreds of suicide drones in a covert operation some are comparing to Israel’s previous pager operation against Hezbollah in Lebanon. The drones hit Basij bases, motorcycles, and vehicles, targeting IRGC, Basij, and special forces checkpoints.

Iraq also experienced a heavy night of strikes against pro-Iranian militias.

At the same time, the regime in Iran continues its efforts at self-preservation through sustained attrition from within Iran and on other fronts.

Aviva Klompas: Olivia Chow has herself to blame for antisemitic violence

Last week, gunfire struck three synagogues in the Greater Toronto Area. We have grown accustomed to the response: hollow expressions of sympathy, feeble condemnations and the familiar promise that the city stands with the Jewish community.

But what is unfolding in Toronto is not an abstract rise in hateful rhetoric. It is the steady normalization of violence against Jews, and the city’s leadership appears determined to ignore the reality that we are at risk of a mass-casualty attack targeting the Jewish community.

The rot runs deep. Chow is just one public symptom.

‘A Lot of Life Years Lost’: How NAFTA Shortened American Life Spans

A study tracks how the North American Free Trade Agreement and trade competition with Mexico led to earlier deaths for American factory workers.

The North American Free Trade Agreement, the deal that began integrating the Mexican economy with the United States and Canada in the 1990s, has been a politically charged topic for decades.

Centrist Democrats and Republicans supported the agreement as a way to strengthen the North American economy. But its legacy has been mixed. In some parts of the United States, the agreement shuttered factories and put people out of work as companies moved production to Mexico, where labor was cheaper. President Trump won over unions and other workers as a candidate by labeling NAFTA the “worst agreement ever” and promising to improve or scrap it.

A new paper adds to the understanding of NAFTA’s costs. In it, economists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Chicago found that American workers in communities that were more exposed to competition from Mexican imports saw a significant shortening of their life spans after the trade deal went into effect in 1994.

China Owns Canada’s Only Antimony Mine And Shuttered It In Critical Minerals Power Play

In the rugged interior of Newfoundland, an hour’s drive west from the Canadian Forces Base in Gander, sits a dormant mine with profound implications for the nation’s security and prosperity. Beaver Brook could be the largest North American producer of antimony — a critical mineral threaded through the entire spectrum of modern military hardware, from small arms and artillery shells to advanced missile seekers and night-vision goggles.

Cuban Protesters Torch Communist Party HQ

Friday night was, I believe, night eight of the protests that have broken out across Cuba, and it was the biggest, boldest night yet. Of course, people are still banging pots and pans and marching in the streets, shouting things such as “Freedom,” “Long live Trump,” and “Down with communism,” but night eight got a little more serious.

Poilievre says his plan is ‘the only hope’ for Canada’s auto industry

OTTAWA – Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says he’s planning to pitch a “realistic proposal” to end U.S. tariffs on the Canadian auto industry this weekend.

He says his proposed auto pact would align regulations between Canada and the U.S. and remove the GST from Canadian-made vehicles.

He told reporters his plan, which he intends to roll out on Sunday, is “literally the only hope of keeping our auto sector in Canada.”

‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’: The Danger of Hatred Clouding Perception

If one steps back from the daily noise of partisan bickering and looks at the broader picture in the United States today, some media outlets and political figures appear so consumed by hostility toward the current president that they seem incapable of evaluating events rationally.

Canada’s hospital emergency rooms have hit a breaking point. Is it the new normal?

Six days in an overflow stretcher. Beds in storage rooms. Patients dying in their seats.

No, we’re not describing an episode of HBO’s gritty medical drama The Pitt. These are real-life scenes playing out in Canada’s emergency rooms.

From Carbonear, N.L., where a man recently died of a heart attack during a 10-hour wait to see a doctor, to Calgary, where a woman pleaded “please don’t let me die” during the hours she bled onto a stretcher in the ER, hospitals are bursting at the seams as backlogs and access issues affect patient flow.
