No. It’s due to high construction costs. Non.profits have a slight edge.

All my affordable housing projects for non.profits are stalled because of the inaction of BCH. They have literally stopped projects.

These fact check videos by CBC are great. More of this, please.

Also, Ontario, your Premier is a moron.

If you're anywhere in Canada & think that Smith's attempt to gerrymander Alberta's ridings doesn't effect you, think again
If Canadians let Smith get away with this, then Moe, Ford, any premier or prime minister can manipulate the ridings to hang onto power
It must be stopped

Not their “position”. How have they voted? Tell me I’m wrong, but as far as I know, they always vote for pipelines becuse the steel workers want them.

Canada loses credibility on emission reductions

IF there were any doubt that Canada is falling behind on climate action, the latest emissions data should put it to rest. The federal government’s annual greenhouse gas inventory, released with little public attention last week, shows emissions declined by just 0.3 per cent in 2024. That is not a meaningful reduction. It is a stall.

After more than a decade of promises to bend the emissions curve, Canada is barely nudging it. Total emissions now sit at 685 megatonnes — only 10.3 per cent below 2005 levels.

Meanwhile, the country has committed to cutting emissions by 40 to 45 per cent by 2030. Closing that gap would require reducing another 227 megatonnes in six years.

Nothing in the current trajectory suggests that will happen.

The muted rollout of the report only underscores the problem. Not long ago, these annual inventories were treated as major events, complete with news conferences and messaging designed to highlight progress.

This time, there was no announcement from Environment Minister Julie Dabrusin, no attempt to explain the near standstill and no acknowledgment that Canada is drifting further off course.

Instead, the minister’s office pointed to future measures and long-term strategies, arguing the report demonstrates Canada can grow its economy while reducing emissions. That argument grows thinner with each passing year of minimal progress.

The data show why. While emissions declined in sectors such as electricity, transportation and buildings, those gains were offset by increases in oil and gas and agriculture.

The oil and gas sector alone accounts for about 30 per cent of Canada’s total emissions and remains the single largest obstacle to meeting national targets.

The policy backdrop is also shifting in ways that raise further doubts. The 2024 data predates Prime Minister Mark Carney’s recent decisions to cancel the consumer carbon price and strike a deal with Alberta that could lead …

Avi Lewis ran on what are essentially Green Party policies. But of course, he is a child of the NDP. Which always votes for pipelines. Just sayin.

$65 Billion Missing????

“In the Auditor General’s 2024 report, she notes that over $65 BILLION IS MISSING. Most of that was received from Ottawa as transfer payments intended for health care, but for 5 years the Ford government hadn’t kept track of where that money went! (Any guesses?)”

Um. Are we investing in small business?
Will we reign in the oligarchs?
Will more profit leave Canada?
How will this work?

the middle class wonder why the poor are so stupid to vote conservative, against their own interests.

meanwhile the Libs are destroying small businesses, yoking the middle class to sky higher prices for cell phones, food & housing through supporting big business.

Who is really stupid?

It's not apathy. It's a disconnect between worldviews and circumstances and power that leads reasonable people to conclude, with some bitterness, that there is no point in voting. Voting validates politicians who don't deserve it. Most LibCons.
