Some first-year students attending the University of Guelph may have trouble finding a place to stay during the semester.
The university recently announced that over 7,000 high school students across Ontario who had applied for programs at U of G have accepted offers of admission.
Everybody’s talking about Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland’s bizarre Sunday attempt to justify the inbound Liberal capital gains tax hike, which was first announced in April and which goes into effect June 25. Although maybe a better verb than “announced” would be “sprung.” The increase in the income inclusion rate on the tax looks an awful lot, as analysts have pointed out, like a last-minute and desperate attempt to artificially boost the federal government’s woeful fiscal condition.
Canada is the only one of 32 member nations not to publicly release a plan to meet the target
One of the country’s leading business voices is warning that Canada faces “diplomatic isolation” if it’s not prepared to deliver a concrete plan next month to raise defence spending to meet NATO’s benchmark.
The Business Council of Canada — which has been wading more and more into the debate on national security lately — made the assessment in a letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
The letter comes as both NATO defence ministers and G7 leaders prepare to gather at separate meetings in Europe, and as leaders of the NATO alliance nations get ready for a summit in Washington, D.C. next month.
We are a Clown State.
The federal government’s contracting practices made headline news again with Auditor-General Karen Hogan finding frequent rule violations in the $200-million in contracts awarded to consulting firm McKinsey & Company since 2011.
Ms. Hogan’s report went on to state that many of the contracts “did not demonstrate value for money.”
Sound familiar? The government is already battling months of bad press over the development of its much-criticized $54-million COVID-19 travel app, ArriveCan.
So many scandals you need a cheat sheet to keep up.
In the last six months, Canada has added nearly 600,000 people to our population due to out-of-control immigration. That’s an increase in population of 1.5% in just six months — or put another way, we are increasing our population at a rate of 3% a year, all through immigration.
Live in TO?
Have your municipal taxes gone up?
One reason is the thousands of migrants Trudeau is dumping in Toronto.
If Greater Toronto is still ahead of the national curve, Canada may be in trouble. Statistics Canada (Stat Can) data shows the unemployment rate climbed sharply in May. Rising unemployment is a national trend, but the rapid pace at which it’s climbing can be attributed to Greater Toronto, home to a third of the increased unemployment in the past year. It’s a general trend across Southern Ontario, which has gone from the driver of the national economy to a major drag.
Conservatives lead Liberals by 12 points – Inflation and jobs/the economy top concerns (Nanos)
Despite the Bank of Canada’s decision to drop interest rates, it’s not enough for most Canadians to get into the housing market, according to a recent poll.
On June 4 the Bank of Canada dropped its key interest rate by 0.25 percent from five percent to 4.75 percent. It was the first cut in four years.
However, in a June 11 survey by polling firm Ipsos, eight in 10 (82 percent) of respondents said that even if interest rates drop further, homeownership will still be unattainable for them. Sixty-two percent said they’ve given up on ever owning a home.
Imagine if someone dropped a Nuke on Ottawa! Would I ever be not sad!
The Alberta government pointed Tuesday to a new report from a federal advisory committee, calling it proof that Ottawa should abandon its “reckless” 2035 clean electricity targets.
But the chair of the committee behind the report said its recommendations are aimed at toning down the political rhetoric around clean power and helping Ottawa and the provinces find common ground.
The federally appointed Canada Electricity Advisory Council — a group made up of industry leaders, Indigenous leaders and executives — released a report Monday with suggestions on how Ottawa can accomplish its goal of decarbonizing the country’s electricity grid.
In truth Miller I blame your incompetent lying ass for the problems created by your government's mass immigration scam, which has made everything from housing to medical care subject to the shortages your corporate cronies profit from. https://t.co/CvAXPkXjko

Opposition MPs have passed a motion ordering the government and the embattled federal green fund to provide a large quantity of documents to the RCMP.
The move comes after the Office of the Auditor General (OAG) found the green fund, Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC), rife with conflicts of interest.
OTTAWA — The Liberal motion endorsing a hike to the capital gains tax passed Tuesday afternoon despite the federal Conservatives voting against it, arguing the changes will kill innovation in the country’s economy and punish farmers, retirees, entrepreneurs and doctors.
Together, the Liberals, Bloc Québécois, and the NDP supported the ways-and-means motion, which was enough to carry it, although the legislation has yet to be tabled despite the tax hike scheduled to come into effect on June 25th. The government has promised legislation on the tax increase this fall.
More Canadians believe Elvis is still alive than the ability of the country to reach net-zero targets under the Paris Accord.
That was the message from pollster Nik Nanos who inked off the Global Energy show in Calgary on Tuesday with a warning that Canadians aren’t happy with Ottawa’s energy policies.
As if there are not enough problems with the exorbitant cost of housing, now we must face up to how it contributes to poor health.
Overcrowding within houses and apartments helps spread disease, according to studies in the U.S., Britain and Australia.
Overcrowding, which is calculated on the number of people living together per square foot, could be at its worst in almost a century in English-speaking countries.
The shocking report released by the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians (NSICOP) last week is the stuff of democratic nightmares. In brief, the committee reported that when it comes to foreign interference, the call is coming from inside the houses: several parliamentarians may be working with foreign governments in ways that undermine Canada’s national security and democratic institutions. Notably, these parliamentarians may have unknowingly received donations from foreign governments, while at least one is alleged to have passed confidential information to foreign agents.
As Canadian governments pursue early efforts to bring down the country’s unprecedentedly high rate of temporary migrants, it’s not being taken well by the thousands of students and foreign workers who are effectively being told to leave.
Canadians were betrayed.
The Liberal government saw votes and opened the immigration floodgates.
Then the LPC outsourced immigration entryways to the corporate class whose eyes lit up in dollar signs at the prospect of a pool of cheap wage depressing labour and any other scam that came to mind.
Both the Liberal Party and the Corporate sector remain very happy to profit at your expense while destroying Canada.
And finally few ever get deported from Canada.
