2024/02/14

Housing isn’t the only shortage facing the federal government these days: It turns out there are about as many judges in Canada as there are apartments for under $1,500. Like us after putting down a non-refundable deposit to book the perfect venue for a birthday party, Vancouver and Toronto are hoping that playing host will be worth it. Celebrating something?

2024/02/13

It wasn’t too long ago we were writing regularly about plans by U.S. lawmakers to ban TikTok. It now seems like those plans have taken a backseat to politics. The competition might’ve been tough for the King of Pop’s music library, but Sony and its big chequebook told the other investors to beat it. Celebrating something?

Think twice before sending that disparaging Slack message about your manager. Someone—or rather, something—could be watching.

In what could be the most shocking reunion since Ben Affleck and J-Lo, WeWork co-founder and ex-CEO Adam Neumann has sent the proverbial “u up?” text to his old business. With AI deepfakes becoming more common on Facebook than old high school classmates promoting their multi-level marketing schemes, Meta has decided it’s time to step in. Celebrating something?

A new housing report has confirmed a tough truth: Canada’s rental market has become more crowded than a gym’s weight room in early January.

Like a boxer hanging on by a thread, one of China’s biggest real estate developers is being forced to throw in the towel. After 115 years in business, Leon’s Furniture is getting into the house-building game. No word yet on whether homes come fully furnished with brand-new pieces from the showroom.
