The social media accounts of two of Canada's most vocal far-right pundits have fallen unusually silent after U.S. officials accused them of being collaborators of a covert Russian propaganda campaign.
On Wednesday, the U.S. Justice Department unsealed an indictment against two Russian nationals, accusing them of setting up a conservative media outlet as a front for pro-Kremlin propaganda.
The media outlet was unnamed in the indictment, but it was clear from details within that the charges referred to Tenet Media, founded in 2023 by the Canadian influencer known as Lauren Chen and her husband, Liam Donavan.
Among the people they hired last year was Chen's longtime friend and occasional collaborator Lauren Southern, another Canadian far-right influencer with a massive social media following.

I'm always look forward to Uytae's videos but since his last few topics seems to have driven legislative changes I really wonder what he'll tackle next.

I saw a quite a few comments about how NDP and Green voters were somehow the bad guys in the by election but the Liberals seem more than happy to let the Conservatives run Canada into the ground for 4 years and somehow they've done a "good job".
One of these categories seem very out of place for a conversation about national inflation.
Some of the increase was typical of the season. Prices for cellular services, rent, travel tours and air transportation grew at a faster pace, according to the data agency.
America is ramping up their production again and it will very likely be part of the trade agreements to be supportive their endeavor which leave us once again in a rather awkward position.
I'd like to think a competent government would be able to take advantage from both the American and Chinese subsidies, but I have feeling we lose out on the cheap decent Chinese cars while finding ourselves on the losing end of a North American trade agreement.
Technically speaking we need a lot more infrastructure as whole. Housing being the most dire one.
I'm actually starting to feel like Trudeau actually thought a ahead on this one politically and really setting up Pierre to fail.
It's my belief that the guy is trying to be so embarrassing that he sweeps this video under the rug.
Just to make things easier for people.
The video talks about the glut of micro units having issues selling due to how undesirable they are for people actually living in them and not aligning with a more realistic price.
The numbers on why a lot of people can't hold onto these investments:
Shrinking units, the ones discussed in the video is around ~300sqft:
Substantially less of newer units are owner occupied:
Even disregarding political context, I think her straight forward answers with specific references to the report make it hard to dispute her findings.
Most of all I really appreciate her being the only Federal party leader will to constructively progress on this issue instead of circling around the topic ad nauseam as political theater. I believe this type of politics should do well.

I think the generational angle is substantially over stated. Sure on a average the older generation is much more likely to own but there plenty that's getting hit real hard with the inflation brought on by housing prices.
It's much more accurate to frame it as the government sacrificing the have nots for the haves. In which case there's no waiting it out as long as a substantial part of Canadian is convinced high housing prices is a good thing.
The Public Safety Minister insisted that federal law prevents the government from releasing further information about the people at the centre of those allegations, and he urged party leaders to instead get their own classified briefings and said Canadians should have confidence that police can investigate and lay charges when warranted.
As long as things are thoroughly investigated I'm good with just having the other parties have access to the information at the current time to make sure there's no favourism.
It's about the money.
