Seniors rarely downsize — here’s why that’s hurting first-time homebuyers
Realtor Barry Lebow specializes in helping seniors downsize — moving out of the family homes they’ve lived in for decades to a smaller place that’s a better fit for their aging lifestyle.
From the outside, that might look like the natural progression: feeding a healthy bit of turnover into the housing supply as move-up buyers seek their own family home.
But the reality is a bit different when it comes time to sell, Lebow, who works in the Greater Toronto Area, said in an interview.
Now do a mosque …
"The police just watched…" as a terrorist stormed a Christian church and hurled pyrotechnic devices at the singing preacher. No arrest.

‘Not in the Best Interests of Canada’: Business Coalition Pushes Back Against Ford & Other Premiers’ Call for Deeper Trade Ties With China
A business coalition is raising concerns about calls from some of Canada’s premiers for Ottawa to strengthen trade ties with China in response to U.S. tariffs, calling the move short-sighted and contrary to Canada’s interests.
The Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers and Businesses Canada (CCMBC) issued a statement on July 23, warning that the proposal overlooks China’s record of “unfair” trade practices, human rights abuses, and interference in Canadian democracy.
NAVARRO-GENIE: Alberta deserves a police force that reflects its values
The recent comments from RCMP Staff Sergeant Camille Habel, who decried traditional values as a path to extremism, should be fuel for every Albertan committed to building a provincial police force that truly reflects our values, not Ottawa’s vision of what we should become.
Habel’s statement, framing beliefs rooted in community and local culture as potentially dangerous, highlights a growing disconnect between the RCMP and the values that Albertans hold dear. This underscores the urgent need for a police force that is accountable to our province and its distinct way of life.
The Left Would Rather Embrace Mass Immigration Than Help Struggling Americans
“For a Haitian family in Springfield, Ohio, the house on Chestnut Avenue represented their future in this country. They’re now wondering what can be salvaged,” a recent feature in the Washington Post described. The article — one of several of its kind — attempts to elicit empathy for hard-working, religious Haitian immigrants, trying to grasp their slice of the American dream. In that respect, the WaPo largely achieves its goal. The pro-immigration rhetoric, however, is not only about celebrating diligent émigrés — it’s about maligning the blue-collar Americans they’ve come to replace.
Iran, Israel, the Jinn, and Other ‘Occult Forces’
Humiliated by the devastation wrought by tiny Israel on Iran during their twelve-day war in June, Iranians have sought other explanations for Israel’s victory. They have found the real explanation for Israel’s victory: it had working for it mysterious non-humans who appear in the Qur’an, and are known as the jinn.
The great ‘supply’ solution to Canada’s housing crisis flounders — further
Douglas Todd: To understand why Mark Carney’s goal of building 500,000 houses a year won’t happen, look to New Zealand and the harsh realities right now of making a profit in real estate.
The unspoken maxim within Canadian political circles, I’m told, is that elected officials just can’t win when it comes to either public health care or housing affordability.
No matter what politicians do, voters will continue to complain about poor access to medical care or feel aggravated about super-expensive housing prices.
That’s often why, when it comes to the massive files of health and housing, elected officials go out of their way to at least look like they’re doing something. And to look like they’re being bold.
They’re Not Sanctuary Cities; They’re Slavery Cities
Sanctuary cities and states exist not for the altruistic reasons blue state leaders claim, but because of profit—the profit of slavery.
Progressives portray sanctuary cities as a necessary means to balance public safety, human rights, and local autonomy in the face of federal immigration enforcement. Sanctuary City supporters harp on false narratives. Thus, they’ll routinely raise a handful of now familiar arguments …
In Epping, it’s the left vs the people
Locals are being smeared as far right and racist by posh, privileged so-called socialists.
For over a week, protests have rumbled outside a taxpayer-funded refugee hotel in Epping, Essex. Protesters, mostly local, have been angered by allegations an Ethiopian migrant housed at the Bell Hotel sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl. The unrest was further fuelled by the hotel’s proximity to a local school, and the fact that the suspect had arrived on a small boat just eight days prior to being charged.
Lovely people in Epping. What a surprise that there was a peaceful protest without masked opposition being escorted by the police.

Don Cherry, one of the greatest Canadians in the nation’s history — for a time
What people want to know these days about the hockey coach, bad-boy television persona and Kingston icon is whether they’ll hear from Grapes again
On a July morning, Dan and Theresa Mosier put on their sunglasses and park as usual in their chairs on the porch, waving at passersby driving into the village of Marysville, Ont., or neighbours on foot, waiting for grandkids to drop in. This is their retirement idyll.
Dan had been the proprietor of the Oco gas station next to their house for 35 years, but he boarded it up three years ago. In bygone days, it’d be open for business, cars pulling up to the pumps, tourists unfamiliar with Wolfe Island walking into the shop to ask for directions.

Is this the end of genderism?
We are reaching trans tipping point
Sometimes, I wonder how I will know when the reign of genderism is definitively over. As philosophers say, I like to consider various possible worlds. Will it be when a national inquiry is held into child transition? Or when a whole month goes by without a drag queen story on the BBC website? Or when the head of MI6 finally takes the pronouns out of his X bio? “Gradually, then suddenly” is how Hemingway described going bankrupt. One hopes this applies to the morally bankrupt too.
