Hammering Away at Housing Affordability: Recommendations from the Senate

Senator Loffreda writes about Canada’s housing affordability crisis and shares some of the recommendations from a report that the Senate Committee on Banking, Commerce and the Economy recently published on the matter.

Cogner sur le clou pour régler la crise du logement: Recommandations du Sénat

Le sénateur Loffreda écrit sur la crise de l’abordabilité du logement au Canada et partage certaines des recommandations d’un rapport que le Comité sénatorial des banques, du commerce et de l’économie a récemment publié sur la question.

Who was Henry Dundas you ask? The man was an abolitionist who actually worked to end the slave trade and actually helped to bring an end to slavery. But not fast enough, for the comfortable and woke of today who just want to send out the right moral signals. Toronto’s politically correct elites will not let history, facts or truth get in the way of their progressive narrative…”.

TORONTO – Pensavamo di essercelo lasciato alla spalle, ma il Covid-19 nelle sue innumerevoli varianti continua a farsi sentire. Nelle ultime settimane in Canada abbiamo assistito a un’impennata di casi, con l’aumento delle ospedalizzazioni e dei ricoveri in terapia intensiva. Certo, siamo lontanissimi dalle fase più acute della pandemia registrate soprattutto nel 2020 e, in tono minore, nel 2021, ma anche questo inverno dovremo fare i conti con i rischi rappresentati dal coronavirus. Fatto sta – come ha confermato la Chief Medical Officer Theresa Tam – checon l’evolversi della stagione del raffreddore e dell’influenza in Canada, si sta verificando un aumento dei casi di Covid-19 anche in molte province, in particolare in Ontario e Quebec… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>>

CORRIERE CANADESE / Veicoli elettrici: sì, ma dove li ricarichiamo?

TORONTO –  Fra gli obiettivi del governo federale per il futuro, ce n’è uno che sembra irraggiungibile: entro il 2035, tutte le nuove auto dovranno rispondere al requisito “emissioni zero”, cioè essere elettriche. Lo ha annunciato, l’altro ieri, il ministro dell’Ambiente, Stephen Guilbeault, glissando su un particolare non irrilevante: in Canada non ci sono sufficienti stazioni di “ricarica”, necessarie per far viaggiare queste macchine… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>>
