Is Sanity Returning to the Ontario Housing Market?

Interesting times in Ontario:

Ontario legislators passed Bill 60 on Monday, a sweeping omnibus bill designed to accelerate housing supply and reform the province’s rental-market infrastructure.

The legislation moves the needle on affordability by overhauling how landlords and developers navigate tenancy rules and development approvals.

Housing minister Rob Flack framed the changes as essential to restoring market balance. “With more supply comes lower rents,” he said during the final legislative vote.

The bill targets bottlenecks across multiple fronts: accelerating Landlord and Tenant Board hearings, standardizing development charges across municipalities, and streamlining zoning approvals.

Not everyone is happy. If you live in Ontario and can share more insight, it would be greatly appreciated.

There May Be Something Fishy With Big Apple Turkeys

The latest fundraising initiative by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is raising the eyebrows of many:

This fundraiser is for the birds.

Power-hungry “Squad” member Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) cooked up a new way to have her cake and eat it too this Thanksgiving – by tying her annual turkey giveaway to her massive reelection campaign enterprise. And critics are crying fowl.

“Thanksgiving is two weeks away,” the self-described “Bronx girl” wrote in an email pitch last week. “Will you chip in $5 or anything you can today to help us bring the joy of the holiday season into homes around NYC this year?”

Elections Have Consequences

Anton Daniels is a successful vlogger out of Detroit. He has a common sense approach to things and doesn’t pull punches. In this recent video, he shares first person videos from Chicagoans facing extremely steep property tax increases (severe langage warning). One woman actually blamed Trump for the financial mismanagement of Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker. What will it take for lifelong Democrats to finally understand that their political allegiances are at the root of most of their problems?!

But Orange Man Bad

The massive propaganda campaign launched by the Liberals has proven to be very successful. They’ve convinced a vast number of Canadians that all of their problems are the fault of President Trump rather than anything else.

Update: JD Vance has just chimed in:

And with all due respect to my Canadian friends, whose politics focus obsessively on the United States: your stagnating living standards have nothing to do with Donald Trump or whatever bogeyman the CBC tells you to blame.

The fault lies with your leadership, elected by you.
