I'm quite impressed with Singh on this. He's been speaking out for a cease fire and not avoiding the issue.
On a somewhat related note, I'm very impressed by the CNN interview that Queen Rania of Jordan gave on the topic. https://www.queenrania.jo/en/media/interviews/queen-ranias-interview-cnn%E2%80%99s-becky-anderson
As I expected. He's gone.
Anthony Rota resigns as Speaker after inviting former Ukrainian soldier with Nazi ties to Parliament
Hunka was invited by Speaker Anthony Rota, who introduced him as a war hero who fought for the First Ukrainian Division.
Rota’s office did not immediately respond to questions.
I expect Rota will not be the Speaker for much longer.
Paywall. Here's an article on the CBC on the same subject.

Paywall. You really should program this bot to prefer the similar articles from the CBC (and basically leave out The Star). Here's the CBC article on the same issue: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/ontario-retail-winery-tax-removal-bill-1.6969214
Here is Jennifer Keesmaat, the former chief planner of the city of Toronto, commenting on this:
Housing is a complex issue that requires action accross levels of government, but this would seem to shift the onus towards the municipal level, and then handicap said municipality’s ability to meet demand if they do not immediately succeed. [..] if implemented, would be anything but an excuse to cut funding.
Agreed. It just seems to be setting up obstacles rather than helping. Currently, builders prefer to build condos or office towers, rather than rental housing. I don't see these proposals as doing anything other than further frustrating the construction of rental housing.
The construction of rental housing has stalled for a while now. This is due to builders preferring to build either office space or condos. So, there is a need to boost the construction of rental housing.
Poilievre's ideas seem to be of the carrot and stick mentality, with an emphasis on the stick. I don't see that as being a solution to getting more rental housing built. Instead, it likely would end up further frustrating the construction of rental housing.

When asked about a perceived ignorance in computers, the judge proclaimed, "I'm not ignorant about computers! In fact, just last week I finished Space Quest, and I'm now getting through Leisure Suit Larry!" The judge's report, written using WordPerfect 5.1, is expected to be released soon.
That did not happen to me; so I'm guessing it's a coincidence.
