Canada’s housing crisis didn’t "just happen." It was engineered. Eight covert policy ops, decades of damage. Get the dossier the feds won’t admit exists.

💸 Ottawa’s spent $470M fighting money laundering… and has almost nothing to show for it. 2 collapsed cases, 1 guilty plea, 10 years of press releases. At this point, the crackdown looks more like the laundering. 🧼

🚔🔓 After years of revolving-door justice, the Liberals suddenly found their spine.

It’s not courage — it’s polling data.

We’ll believe it when a judge actually denies bail on a Monday morning.

Also — “Crime down 4%.”
Sure… if you’re still counting pager thefts. 📉📟

🚨 CREA’s housing report is a bombshell!!!💣: Ontario & BC home prices are collapsing 📉 while smaller provinces 🎭 fake the “average.” Canada’s market is unraveling ☠️ — is this the crack before the crash? 🕳️ Ontario –1.9%, BC –1.3%!!! 💀🏚️ 💥 Boom 💥

@CREA_ACI Canada’s “average” price growth is smoke + mirrors. 🚬 Saskatchewan (+14.2%), Quebec (+10%), Manitoba (+8.9%) carried the stats. But the big guns? Ontario –1.9%, BC –1.3%. When the heavyweights fall, the average doesn’t mean much. 📉 Of course they don’t frame it that way. 🤯🔍🏚️

@OREAinfo Their joint statement could have said if there was a criminal aspect to this, then it should be punished ⚖️🚔👮. But of course, not even a lawyered-up hint at that 🤐📄. Reads more like “let some new bureaucrats oversee the current bureaucrats 🗂️➡️🗂️and no jail time thanks” 🚫⛓️

@REWoman I just really hope there's not a lawsuit that drains the money from the schools over this patently avoidable blunder

[North Trends @NorthTrendsCA]

@MarketManiaCa Yes but what percentage of the students surveyed were hiding the fact that they hide their beliefs when they answered this survey? 🔍🤯🌀🔍🤯🌀🔍🤯🌀 Look into it

[North Trends @NorthTrendsCA]

@JonFlynnREstats I'd make a Canada-wide national building code to solve the problem of the NIMBY lobby first, then do what you said.

@ronmortgageguy Sounds like he's funding a new generation of eternally loyal subsidized housing Liberal party voters

[North Trends @NorthTrendsCA]

@danielfoch Buyers aren’t surging in confidence, they’re cherry-picking markdowns

[North Trends @NorthTrendsCA]

@MarcNixon24 Modular homes don’t have to be cheap or flimsy. Japan’s had a national building code since 1950 & generations of skilled prefab workers. We’re stuck with fragmented municipal codes & zero plan to train. No wonder they build quality prefab at scale while we spin our wheels. 🤡🇨🇦

@CandiceMalcolm It's wild how so many people have outed themselves in writing online as really radical supporters of politically motivated assassinations. No humour or sarcasm or anything. Just wholehearted endorsement.

CMHC: 📷 Apartment construction (condo + rental) = 70% of all new housing.
