OTTAWA – The Speaker of the House of Commons, Greg Fergus, is implementing the guidelines for the “evaluation” of possible guests at the House of Commons: a measure that will be taken to avoid further embarrassment after, in recent months, parliamentarians made a standing ovation for the Ukrainian “veteran” Yaroslav Hunka, only discovering later that in his youth he had fought for a division of the Nazi “SS”. →
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.
“People who live without a house are not homeless because of their ancestry or because of mental health or addictions or because they live in poverty. They are homeless because there is not enough affordable housing in their community.”

TORONTO – Among the federal government’s goals for the future, there is one that seems unattainable: by 2035, all new cars will have to meet the “zero emissions” requirement, that is: be electric. This was announced yesterday by the Minister of the Environment, Stephen Guilbeault, glossing over a not irrelevant detail: in Canada there are not enough “charging” stations, necessary for these machines to travel. →
