We’ve put $4 billion on the table to change how cities build homes. The Conservative’s plan to cut this program, which is already showing success in places like London and Calgary. Cuts to housing programs won’t build a single home.

Democrat Los Angeles Mayor candidate Nithya Raman reveals her new plan to end homelessness in LA She pretends that there is currently no way to know how money is spent, and that she needs to build a whole new agency She said “I want to build out a single point in the city that is absolutely responsible for making sure every dollar is spent, every dollar is tallied, and that the data about outcomes is available for decision-making within the city and for the public to see where their dollars are going” Reporter “That's called oversight. And Sister, you've already got that in Los Angeles. You don't need to build anything. You don't have to build a single point in the city. You already have a city controller. You already have people who tally this stuff for you. And guess what? That's not a plan to fix homelessness.”

One year ago we signed the first deal to change how we build homes in this country. Since then, we've worked with communities all over Canada to legalize housing, and to make it faster and easier to build homes. We’ve worked to build more homes near transit, more homes for students, and more homes at prices folks can actually afford. The progress is picking up across the country. In Halifax, there’s been a 40% increase in building permits in the last year. In London, starts increased by 65%. In Kitchener, they donated land to help create 10,000 homes. Over in Brandon Manitoba, they created incentives to get builders building more homes in their downtown, while the City of Saanich focused on pre-zoning university-owned sites so that students can live closer to where they study at the University of Victoria. We've got further to go, and we’ll keep working to get you into a home, faster. Stay tuned for the next round of Housing Accelerator Fund deals!

Jackie Chan admits he had doubts about working with Jaden Smith in Karate Kid “Training in martial arts is hard work. It takes years to perfect even one punch or kick.” “Jaden’s father is a famous celebrity, and Jaden probably knows he could get away without having to work very hard. “If I couldn’t get my own son to train in martial arts, how could anybody else succeed?” But then he realized he learnt very fast. “He put my son to shame! I provided my son with the best martial artists in the world, and he could not be persuaded to try it. In just two months, Jaden had learned so much. He is truly a talented boy.”

NO FU*KING WAY. "I was just talking to Josh Green, the governor down in Hawaii, who had some ideas around some land use concerns he has around speculators coming in, buying up properties. So we're already working with our legal teams to to move those things forward and we'll be presenting those in a matter of days, not just weeks."

Video showing how a Finnish pre built single family home is assembled. The roof is to big to transport so it's built on site before the rest of the home arrive. The home is pre built in a factory, this is the most common method to build single family homes today.

Mamdani: Yesterday I did something I'm truly reluctant to do. I left New York City. I traveled down to Washington, D.C. to meet with President Trump. I have said time and again that our city faces an immense affordability crisis. I proposed working together to build more than 12,000 new homes. It would mean the single largest housing development New York City has seen since 1973. The president was interested in the idea and I look forward to the ensuing conversations about how to build more housing in a city that doesn't have enough of it.

Families shouldn’t have to wait a decade for a new school. It takes too long to build & that is going to change. Here in #Vaughan, I was excited to get shovels in the ground to move this new elementary school & child care centre forward - opening in 2024! #BuildingSchools
