🚨 Mark Carney says Metro Vancouver has 2,500 completed condos sitting empty. Developers don't want to sell at a loss. So Ottawa and BC are stepping in with billions in infrastructure money, cutting development charges by up to 50%, and using financing tools to convert vacant condos into affordable housing. Later, when asked if governments could buy unsold units from developers, Carney replied: "You can do both." Taxpayers becoming the backstop for the condo market? 🤔

NONE OF THE WORLD CUP MATCHES IN TORONTO ARE SOLD OUT YET. Toronto is spending $380 million to host 6 World Cup matches. THAT'S $63M PER GAME!! Tickets start around $1,300. And economists are warning the net economic impact may be close to zero because many tourists would have visited Toronto anyway. So where exactly is this economic boom everyone keeps talking about?

This Pearson Airport story somehow keeps getting worse. W5 literally walked in from the street into the baggage pickup area and showed how easy it would allegedly be to grab a “drug bag” and leave. They also observed workers entering without pass scans and random people using exit doors. And this is at Canada’s busiest airport.

WAIT… WHAT? 🇨🇦 CTV says innocent Canadians are allegedly having their luggage tags swapped at Pearson Airport… then unknowingly flying suitcases filled with drugs to countries where trafficking can carry the DEATH PENALTY. One woman was detained for 7 hours after border agents found 45 lbs of meth inside a suitcase tagged with her name. RCMP has already arrested multiple Pearson baggage/ramp workers connected to tag switching.

Canada now has full-time workers living in Highway 401 carpool parking lots. They're not unemployed. They're not refusing to work. They're working, showering, sleeping in trailers, and hoping to save enough for first and last month's rent. Meanwhile politicians celebrate population growth, record housing targets, and labour shortages. The reality is working Canadians are being priced out of their own country.

I was saying this back in February. Now the Parliamentary Budget Officer is confirming it. Canada is expected to spend over $1 BILLION to host 13 World Cup matches. That’s more than $82 million per game. Officials claim tourism and economic activity will justify the cost. Okay then. Where’s the full cost benefit analysis? Where’s the final net revenue projection after security, infrastructure, tax exemptions, and overruns? At a time of rising debt, strained hospitals, weak per capita growth, and high youth unemployment, taxpayers deserve more than “trust us.”

W5 investigation says organized crime groups allegedly infiltrated Pearson Airport by paying off corrupt workers to move drugs through Canada’s busiest airport. A whistleblower even claimed workers joke you could “walk out with a cruise missile and nobody would stop you.” Meanwhile passengers go through intense screening… while insiders allegedly move freely behind the scenes. 👀

Tiff Macklem says the economy is improving because consumers are still spending. Canadians are asking a different question: How much of that spending is coming from stronger incomes... and how much is coming from debt? Food bank use is at records. Insolvencies are climbing. Manufacturing jobs are disappearing. GDP isn't the same thing as prosperity.

Brampton families should not have to live like this. At 5:44 a.m. on Friday, April 10, in Brampton’s southwest area, a homeowner pulled into their driveway, parked in the garage, and within seconds suspects rushed the property during the garage-close window. Threats screamed. Panic inside the home. Family terrified. This wasn’t downtown chaos. This was a quiet residential neighborhood. Criminals are getting bolder, faster, and more organized. They know routines. They watch patterns. They strike in seconds. People work their whole lives for a home… now some are scared just pulling into their own driveway. Enough is enough. Public safety has to come first.

March 2025: Justin Trudeau: "Canadians are hurt. Canadians are angry. We're going to choose to not go on vacation in Florida or Old Orchard Beach or wherever..." June 2026: "Sometimes supportive boyfriend duties call." So Canadians were supposed to rethink U.S. vacations. But World Cup trips to America are apparently exempt. Funny how principles change when you're the one boarding the plane. 🤷🇨🇦🇺🇸

"CANADA HAS NO PRODUCTIVITY GROWTH" David Rosenberg says Canada's unit labour costs are rising around 8% annually, versus near 0% in the U.S. His warning: If nothing changes, the Canadian dollar may not stop at 1.50 USD/CAD... it could eventually head toward 1.60+. This is why productivity matters.

Canada is spending over $1.1 billion to host 13 World Cup matches. FIFA gets the ticket sales. FIFA gets the TV money. FIFA gets the sponsorship revenue. FIFA even gets the money from your hot dog. Taxpayers get the bill. People wonder why 12 of the last 14 World Cups lost money for the host countries. 🇨🇦⚽️💰

At the beginning of May, someone told me affluent pockets of Burlington were starting to organize over violent home invasions and targeted car thefts. Tonight, it turned into a packed community meeting in Roseland. Residents say they’re scared. Some are now hiring private security patrols. Police and city officials were called in to answer questions. One resident: “People are being caught, arrested… and turned loose again.” When communities like Burlington start mobilizing like this…you know the concern is becoming real.

🚨 BREAKING: A CTV investigation says thousands of airport workers with security concerns were STILL granted clearance at Canada’s major airports. One Pearson employee accused in the $20M gold heist was reportedly flagged in multiple drug investigations dating back years… yet allegedly kept both his job and airport security access until 2023. A retired RCMP officer says employees connected to organized crime were repeatedly flagged to Transport Canada and still kept restricted access cards. Pearson Airport is sounding more and more like an organized crime playground. 👀

🇨🇦 keeps asking why Gen Z founders are leaving. A Gen Z startup built a 3,000-person tech community and hit 1M+ impressions in 60 days and still left 🇨🇦. Their reasons were blunt: visa pathways don’t work for early-stage founders, PR scoring keeps rising, startup visas take years, and fintech founders are told the infrastructure to scale isn’t here. The wild part: she claims “83% of grads just head straight to San Francisco or New York.” The direction is obvious: founders go where building is actually possible.
