High cost of regulation makes housing in Canada unaffordable Hardly anyone disagrees that housing prices and rents have been unaffordable in Canada for decades, but there’s agreement about why housing prices have moved out of step with incomes. A recent report by think-tank C.D. Howe Institute analyzed housing prices and construction costs and concluded that excessive regulatory burden contributes to prices being much higher than the cost of producing new dwellings. The gap should not exist or be small in competitive markets with little or no undue regulatory burdens, but that’s not the case in Canada. The report estimated...

Obama’s Legacy Is a Weaker and More Divided America In his farewell speech-cum-lecture earlier this month, President Barack Obama proclaimed that he made America better by “almost every measure.” The statement goes far beyond optimism, and lands squarely in the realm of delusion.

How Liberals Rewrite Their Own History Ian Dunt’s new book ‘How to Be a Liberal’ is part of a broader intellectual exercise to drape liberal history in comforting myths – ones which conceal its role in abetting imperialism, slavery and fascism. https://tribunemag.co.uk/2021/04/how-liberals-rewrite-their-own-history/ Why some Egyptians are fuming over Netflix’s Black Cleopatra Cairo — As soon as Netflix dropped the trailer for its upcoming “docudrama” about ancient Egypt’s Queen Cleopatra, drama started bubbling up online. The preview quickly drew criticism. Some Egyptians complained that the feature was appropriating their culture and rewriting their history, primarily because Cleopatra is portrayed by...

Texas teachers packing heat to make $25K as armed ‘sentinels’ if bill passes Texas teachers could be paid up to $25,000 to multi-task as armed “sentinels” in school, under a new proposal. The idea is laid out in a new bill being considered by lawmakers, which was written in response to the deadly mass shooting at a Uvalde elementary school where 19 kids and two teachers were killed last year. House Bill 13 would pay teachers or other school staffers to start packing heat at public and open-enrollment charter schools, but they would be required to take firearms and...

Karine Jean-Pierre’s insane border lie sums up why we’re in this mess Just when you thought she couldn’t more directly contradict reality, chief White House flack Karine Jean-Pierre claimed Monday: “When it comes to illegal migration, you’ve seen it come down by more than 90%” under President Biden. The “fact” behind that bull was a brief drop in migrants from a few select nations; the overall claim is an utter inversion of reality. Fiscal 2022 ended with close to 2.38 million migrant encounters, the highest ever, topping Biden’s massive first fiscal-year record-setter of almost 1.96 million. https://nypost.com/2023/05/02/karine-jean-pierres-insane-border-lie-sums-up-why-were-in-this-mess/ White House...
