And that has gone on for years. Cottage owners renting out their little slice of lakefront for a few weeks each summer and enjoying it themselves for the remainder. What changed was the emergence of short-term rentals and cottages purchased solely as investment property (although I don't think...

Quite the manifesto. We all get to dislike any person, religion or government we choose. We don't get to act on it outside of the law.

I suspect that, unless the facts show that the forced used was patently excessive or there is some other matter at play, the Crown will decline to prosecute. Unless we can somehow craft laws that specifically address every conceivable form of human interaction, the administration of justice...

True, but at least the feds and provinces have some Constitutional lanes they can argue over. Municipalities, not so much. A province could cause a municipality to cease to exist tomorrow (or create one). Ontario has been dancing around doing that with school boards for a few years. Someone...

Presumed reasonable . . . until the court says it wasn't. Sounds like the presumption of innocence to me. If the intent is to not have a homeowner charged in the first place, this probably won't do it.

Private ownership is in the majority, but according to the CBC, StatsCan says 20% of houses in four provinces were investor-owned in 2020 (not necessarily offshore). One fifth is not an insignificant number. In terms of condos, in Toronto, 41.2% were owned by investors. That's significant...

Things get done when Ingenious people get involved. ;)

I realize we are what would normally be summer recess anyway, but I much prefer our PM and entourage connecting with international partners/potential customers, re-establishing international relationships that the last tenant either ignored or pissed-off, and trying to stabilize trade...

No kidding. The average size of a condo in Toronto built after 2016 is 650sf. Some only have a 'bar fridge' and microwave - no stove.

I thought he was going to be the 'no war' president.

Triple bunking is pretty much the norm in most Ontario detention centres.

It might be a language/accent issue, where he mistook 'megalomaniacal narcissist' for 'president of Europe'. Honest mistake.

Similar here (although not grocery stores) with a lot of south Asian staff but I don't know if they are TFWs. Our SIL is an IT manager for a large organization and a good portion of his staff is South Asian and they are definitely not TFWs. In some franchise chains, I've noticed that the...

And today in the Oval Circus; Trump fires the Chair of the Federal Reserve: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/aug/25/trump-fires-federal-reserve-governor-lisa-cook and is establishing a 'special National Guard unit' to fight crime in the streets...

I must run in different circles. I know of no one who has a gun locker in their bedroom.

Fair, but I wonder how many people have their gun locker in their bedroom (assuming the scenario)? Cool, but considering less than 300,000 Canadians legally own handguns, how realistic is this type of set-up.
