‘Bloodbath for sellers’: Tales from the frontlines of Toronto’s condopocalypse

‘Bloodbath for sellers’: Tales from the frontlines of Toronto’s condopocalypse

Davelle Morrison listed her client’s 650-square-foot condo in downtown Toronto’s Corktown neighbourhood for $558,000 at the beginning of March 2026 — then reduced the price by $38,000 in a hopeful effort to get more bites. When the bites didn’t materialize, Morrison relisted the property for $399,000 on May 4 with an offer night slated for a week later.

Not that long ago, such a price point and sales strategy would have guaranteed a frenzy of activity.


Vancouver’s shoe box builders just got bailed by Carney.

I wonder if his ChiCom pals can convince him to do the same for Toronto?

2 Million Draft dodgers in Ukraine do what they must to avoid the front lines

2 Million Draft dodgers in Ukraine do what they must to avoid the front lines

Volodymyr was out jogging around the lake near his home, as he did almost every morning, when he noticed a van slowly driving alongside him. He immediately understood what was going on. It was the summer of 2024, and the Ukrainian military was in the middle of a conscription drive. Volodymyr was a man of service age but wasn’t wearing a uniform. He sped up, and so did the van.

The fit, broad-shouldered 31-year-old escaped from the men he suspected were conscription officers by cutting through a park. But afterward, he stopped going for his morning jog.


The article quotes Ukraine Defence Minister Mikhailo Fedorov’s stating that there are 2 million draft evaders in Ukraine.

Some perspective.

“An estimated 570,000 men were classified as draft offenders during the Vietnam War era, with approximately 210,000 formally accused of draft violations and another 100,000+ deserting the military. Among these resisters, between 30,000 and 50,000 fled to Canada to avoid conscription.”

I feel like Country Joe: Well it’s 1,2,3 why are we funding this war? Heck you know I don’t give a damn it’s the latest version of the Afghan scam.

Canada is not a wealthy nation. We have done our share. This is Europe’s conflict to bear not ours.

On the upside Carney is ingratiating himself with the EU via our tax dollars. All the better for Brookfield.

Motor Mouth: What the hell is Melanie Joly doing?

Motor Mouth: What the hell is Melanie Joly doing?

According to Wiktionary, a “mixed message” is “communication that contains contradictory, inconsistent, or unclear information, making it difficult for the receiver to understand the sender’s true intent, thoughts, or feelings.” If that be so, then Mark Carney’s recent “hot mic” moment at this week’s G7 summit and Melanie Joly’s (almost) simultaneous announcement she was heading to China to drum up some auto business might be the very definition of getting your wires crossed.

Canadians will pay up to $3,348 this year on government debt interest, study finds

Canadians will pay up to $3,348 this year on government debt interest, study finds

A new study from the Fraser Institute says that every Canadian this year will pay hundreds or even thousands of dollars to service the interest on federal and provincial debt, with Newfoundlanders and Manitobans paying the most, and Albertans the least.

“For more than a decade, deficit spending and growing government debt have become a trend for many Canadian governments,” says the report, authored by Jake Fuss, director of Fiscal Studies at the Fraser Institute. “In 2025/26, the federal government and all ten provinces are projected to record deficits.”

Opinion: Carney’s ‘maple MAGA’ moment rings hollow

Opinion: Carney’s ‘maple MAGA’ moment rings hollow

In late May, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney had a “maple MAGA” moment. Speaking before the Economic Club of New York, Carney claimed that “Canada Strong will help make America great again,” combining his own political slogan with U.S. President Donald Trump’s.

Painting Canada as a reliable supplier of energy and critical minerals and as a partner in an integrated North American auto market, he noted that “the examples are legion where we should work together and compete with the world together.”

Immigration rates still at generational highs, even if population shrinking

Immigration rates still at generational highs, even if population shrinking

For the third consecutive quarter, the population of Canada has shrunk, capping off an unprecedented nine-month period that has seen the Canadian population go down by a combined 180,000 people.

But the phenomenon is due almost entirely to Ottawa reining in the meteoric surge of temporary migration experienced by Canada between 2022 and 2024. On multiple other immigration streams intake continues to remain at generational if not all-time highs.

There’s a lot not to like about the new anti-hate council

There’s a lot not to like about the new anti-hate council

At the opening of a national summit on antisemitism five years ago, then-senator Marc Gold told those gathered: “Antisemitism in all its forms is not a job for one summit. It’s not a job for one generation.”

But can it be the job of one council?

When Prime Minister Mark Carney gave what was supposed to be a landmark speech about antisemitism this month (which has been derided as falling far short by many, including this newspaper’s editorial board), he revealed the members of the previously announced Ministerial Advisory Council on Rights, Equality and Inclusion, and tasked the council with dealing with antisemitism as its first priority.

Geoff Russ: Sorry, Carney, but the idea that newcomers don’t bring hatreds with them is a fiction

Geoff Russ: Sorry, Carney, but the idea that newcomers don’t bring hatreds with them is a fiction

“When you come to Canada,” Mark Carney told newcomers in a speech addressing antisemitism, “you bring your faith, your tradition, your language, your story. You leave behind your wars and your animosities.”

It’s a pleasant, even pleasing fiction for millions of Canadians who imagine that a mythical “blank slate” exists for newcomers. The hard truth is that some peoples’ stories are welded to wars, and many of their traditions are centred on a desire to settle scores.

Senior Defence Official’s Firing Claim Casts a Newspaper Report on Her Op-Ed as a Flashpoint in Her Ouster

OTTAWA — An explosive wrongful-dismissal lawsuit that claims a senior defence official was fired after warning that Ottawa’s anti-American rhetoric was handing a gift to Canada’s real adversaries, China and Russia, casts an article by a veteran Ottawa newspaper reporter as a turning point in the government’s posture toward her — a characterization the reporter firmly rejects.

CHARLEBOIS: Ottawa wants answers on food prices. It may not like what it finds

Ottawa is once again examining whether a lack of competition across Canada’s food supply chain is contributing to persistently high food prices. The Competition Bureau has launched a comprehensive review stretching from farm inputs to grocery store shelves, with a report expected in 2027. The review is long overdue, but Canadians should temper their expectations. Competition matters, but it is only one piece of a much larger affordability puzzle.

Employee misconduct, wrongdoing at immigration department includes fraud and violence

From sexual harassment to violence, racism and fraud, Canada’s immigration department recorded 105 cases of employee misconduct and wrongdoing last year.

According to a report published by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), the employee misconduct and wrongdoing cases resulted in at least three terminations and 47 suspensions without pay.

Zero transparency.

Advocates attack Carney government’s elimination of ombudsperson for forced labour

OTTAWA – Human rights advocates say Ottawa is turning its back on foreigners alleging involvement by Canadian companies abroad in forced labour and environmental degradation.

Prime Minister Mark Carney mentioned in passing last week that Ottawa had eliminated the position of Canadian ombudsperson for responsible enterprise, or CORE, months ago.

The office reviews complaints about possible human rights abuses by Canadian companies operating abroad in the garment, mining and oil and gas sectors.

Carney’s ‘grand bargain’ with Alberta for a pipeline to B.C. is a hoax. Here’s why it will never be built

The proposed crude oil pipeline from Alberta’s oilsands to the B.C. coast that Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has been championing and that Prime Minister Mark Carney has ostensibly signed off on in a “grand bargain” last month is unlikely to be built.

It won’t begin construction as early as next year, as Smith has suggested, or be delivering one million barrels a day of Alberta crude to the Pacific coast by the mid-2030s, if ever.

Hegseth slams NATO and ‘middle powers’ talk, launches Europe troop review

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Thursday lashed out at NATO allies during the announcement of a six-month Pentagon review of U.S. forces in Europe, saying the future of the alliance depended on others stepping up their defence spending.

He also appeared to take a veiled dig at recent remarks made by Prime Minister Mark Carney about middle powers needing to band together.


Europe like Canada will have to contend with a huge 5th Column and traitor class capable of upending any effort at self defense.

When you invite the enemy to overrun your country expect negative consequences Canada.

Canada is not capable of defending its borders and there will no Band of Middle Powers riding to the rescue.
