Carney’s ambitious housing goal? Forget it, homebuilders say

If increased supply is the solution to the housing crisis, Canada is making no progress.

The city of Toronto is on pace to build fewer new homes this year than at any time in the past 30 years.

“If you think we don’t have enough homes, fast forward two or three years, and it’s going to be an absolute catastrophe,” Marlon Bray, executive vice-president of Clark Construction Management, a Mississauga-based builder, said at an online summit this month of residential builders.

The Left’s Top Dark Money Monster Is Dying — and Taking the Democratic Party With It

The radical Left and the limitless cash spigot bankrolling it are leading Democrats to their doom. The result will change politics for the better.

When I began a career of digging into the Left’s shadowy financiers, conservatives were losing the “dark money” war. Less than a decade later, it’s the Left facing extinction — and no one’s more astonished by the turnaround than I am.

In August, news came that the Gates Foundation — one of the world’s largest mega-funders of “progressive” political schemes — was quietly defunding Arabella Advisors, the dark money ATM that’s benefitted from over half a billion dollars from Gates since 2009. Armed with billions, the Arabella network exploits our nonprofit charity laws to agitate for D.C. statehood, pack the Supreme Court, and fund Democrat voter drives — all under the guise of philanthropy, and entirely tax-free.

Scientists grow mini human brains to power computers

It may have its roots in science fiction, but a small number of researchers are making real progress trying to create computers out of living cells.

Welcome to the weird world of biocomputing.

Among those leading the way are a group of scientists in Switzerland, who I went to meet.

One day, they hope we could see data centres full of “living” servers which replicate aspects of how artificial intelligence (AI) learns – and could use a fraction of the energy of current methods.


This is exactly what’s going to go wrong!

A Renewed Iranian Push for the Nuclear Bomb

The Iranian regime is once again racing to acquire nuclear weapons. In doing so, it is turning to Russia and almost certainly looking toward China and North Korea for support. This is an immediate and existential threat to the United States, Israel, and the Free World.

Tehran’s repeated denials are lies, masking a clear and urgent drive to obtain nuclear capability as quickly as possible.

The Star of These American Air Shows Will Be … Canada?

It’s the fall air show season, but the biggest attraction — U.S. military planes — will not appear this weekend in Southern California because of the federal government shutdown.

In their place? The Snowbirds, the acrobatic fleet from the Royal Canadian Air Force.

“Thank God Canada is not the 51st state yet,” said Kevin Elliott, the director of the Pacific Airshow in Huntington Beach, Calif.

LILLEY: Former cabinet minster latest to call Justin Trudeau a phony in new book

Add Catherine McKenna’s name to the long list of former cabinet ministers who have called Justin Trudeau a phony.

McKenna’s new book, Run Like a Girl, describes Trudeau in harsh terms describing him as someone who would talk down to people, and who was mostly interested in things like a gender-balanced cabinet as a way to virtue signal.


Canada’s many delusional citizens still elected the jerk.

Organisers Defend Our Juries said around 1,000 took part in demonstrations backing Palestine Action – a group which was proscribed by the government in July making it illegal to show any support or affiliation to them.

Demonstrations went ahead despite calls from ministers and police who called for protests to be postponed following Thursday’s deadly synagogue attack in Manchester.

Violations of Canada’s temporary foreign worker program cost employers more than $6.8 million in penalties

The federal government issued more than $6.8 million in penalties to employers violating the rules of the temporary foreign worker program from January to September 2025, already surpassing the total from 2024’s record-setting year of fines, according to data from Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada.

That is about a 65 per cent increase from the $4.1 million in penalties handed out last year.

From January to the end of September this year, Ottawa levied 214 fines against non-compliant companies, averaging $31,971 per decision, according to the Star’s analysis of the data. That’s up from 155 fines last year, which averaged $26,776 — nearly double the 2023 average of $13,860.


Star propaganda on behalf of the Liberal Party and their corporate cronies. 

The fines are small and treated as the cost of doing business. They are not a deterrent.
