Fewer Ontario cities will hit housing targets amidst ‘major crisis': minister
Ontario's housing minister is conceding that the number of new homes in the province is stuttering and his government won't be able to hand out incentive rewards to many cities for hitting their targets, but says he hopes new legislation will help. On Friday, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing Rob Flack accepted that the number of new homes in Ontario was lagging far behind the targets the province set itself, calling the situation 'a major crisis' across Canada. 'I can tell you, housing starts are down, we know that,' Flack said at a news conference in Toronto. The Ford government has set itself a target of 1.5 million new homes by 2031, winning a large majority in the 2022 provincial election under the promise. To meet that target, Ontario needed to see an average of 150,000 new housing starts every year for the decade. Story continues below advertisement The province has yet to get close to that number — and created a funding pot and targets for cities to try and reach the goal. A chunk of $1.2 billion was set aside over three years to be handed out to cities, ranked by their success in building new homes.

That year, Ontario achieved its lower goal of 110,000 homes by adding 10,000 long-term care beds and 10,000 basement or backyard units to the statistics. Flack indicated that this year, even with beds and basements thrown in, the province wouldn't hit its goal. 'We're going to hand out some nice building faster cheques — not as many and not for as much this year as we did last year,' Flack said. 'That's why we came up with Bill 17 to build the conditions to build more homes, faster.' Data from the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation shows housing starts are currently down roughly 35 per cent year-over-year. Bill 17 is Flack's first major piece of housing legislation since becoming the minister in March. Among other changes, it takes aim at development charges, looking to standardize the fees homebuilders pay to municipalities and delay when they have to be handed over, in some cases. Story continues below advertisement Major parts of the legislation were agreed to by a major municipal association and a group representing homebuilders. Flack said he believed the legislation could begin to move the needle. He has said the goal of 1.5 million homes remains his target. 'We know the numbers are down, but if we don't make the changes like we did in Bill 17, we're never going to hit our targets,' he said. The minister also promised to release months-delayed housing data, which will show which cities have hit their targets and how many long-term care beds have been added to boost the headline figure.

Carney defends public safety minister over ethics ‘screen'
Prime Minister Mark Carney stood by his public safety minister on Friday, saying he had made 'the right decision' to keep a distance from national security decisions in which he could appear to have a conflict of interest. After Global News reported that Gary Anandasangaree had put up an ethics 'screen' around issues related to the Tamil community, Carney praised the minister for his 'standards of integrity.' 'We have a rigorous vetting process and he's taken the right decision, in his judgment and my judgment, to make these arrangements. We will be well covered with respect to all public security decisions,' Carney said. Anandasangaree, who is leading the government's initiative to secure Canada's borders amid White House tariff pressure, announced Thursday that he had effectively recused himself from decisions regarding his community. 'In an abundance of caution, and to ensure that there is no perception of any conflict, I have asked Public Safety officials to implement a screen on any national security issues relating to the Tamil community,' the minister said. Story continues below advertisement A conflict of interest screen is a preventive compliance measure mutually agreed upon by a politician and the federal ethics commissioner. It aims to help MPs avoid conflicts of interest. The screen consists of a statement in which an elected official agrees 'to abstain from any discussions, decisions, debate or votes concerning the matter that forms the subject of the conflict of interest,' according to the commissioner's website.

Story continues below advertisement 'So I certainly don't have a problem with it. I think he is just trying to stay ahead of any possible criticisms down the road if there is a national security issue involving Tamil Canadians.' He said the main issue for his former agency was fundraising for the Tamil Tigers, the Sri Lankan rebels that fought a long civil war against government forces until their defeat in 2009. The government responded by placing the Tigers on Canada's list of terrorist entities. The World Tamil Movement, a fundraising front in Toronto, was also outlawed and its assets were seized. 'That was the big issue for many years in the Toronto area, large sums of money going over,' Stanton said, but the conflict has ended and he did not think it was troublesome for the minister to keep away from the topic. 'I think it's just a matter of, there's probably been rumblings on this subject. And so in order to represent himself as Canada's minister of public safety, he's just detaching himself from the community.' Anandasangaree came to Canada from Sri Lanka in 1983 and was a Tamil community activist, Realtor and lawyer before becoming a Liberal MP in the Scarborough area of Toronto in 2015. His father, from whom he is estranged, was the leader of a Tamil political party in Sri Lanka, where the Tamil Tigers fought for independence from the island country. Story continues below advertisement After the war ended, Anandasangaree helped hundreds of Sri Lankan migrants who had paid human smugglers to ferry them to Canada's West Coast on board the ships MV Ocean Lady and MV Sun Sea. He and his wife have also been critical of the national security agencies the minister now oversees, particularly when it comes to their handling of issues related to Tamil refugees from Sri Lanka.

‘Forget about the past': Fans on criticism of Wayne Gretzky's ties to Donald Trump
It wasn't long ago that some Canadians were up in arms about hockey legend Wayne Gretzky's ties to U.S. President Donald Trump's administration. But as the Edmonton Oilers skate their way through the Stanley Cup final, hockey fans say it's time to let bygones be bygones. 'I don't think it matters,' said Craig Hiscock, a longtime Oilers fan, as he posed Wednesday for a photo with a statue of Gretzky outside Rogers Place in Edmonton ahead of Game 1. 'Let's forget about the past. What he did here was a lot for the city, a lot for hockey.' Tweet This Click to share quote on Twitter: "Let's forget about the past. What he did here was a lot for the city, a lot for hockey." The statue was vandalized in March and smeared with what appeared to be and strongly smelled like feces. On Wednesday, a hip-high metal fence was up around the bronze figure. Story continues below advertisement View image in full screen The Wayne Gretzky statue outside of Rogers Place was vandalized with excrement in Edmonton on Friday March 21, 2025. Global News An online petition started in February calling for a new name for Wayne Gretzky Drive also has about 14,000 signatures. Gretzky, the Ontario-born hockey star who led the Oilers to four Stanley Cup victories in the 1980s, recently drew the ire of Canadians for his public support of Trump, who has repeatedly expressed his desire for Canada to join the U.S and become its 51st state. The Great One was photographed with Trump several times at the president's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. In January, Gretzky and his wife, Janet, attended Trump's inauguration in Washington.

Video footage showed him giving the U.S. team a thumbs-up as he walked to the ice. Story continues below advertisement Gretzky also congratulated Dallas Stars players in their locker room last month, after they advanced to the Western Conference final. The Oilers eliminated the Stars in five games and now have one win against the Florida Panthers in the Cup final. Game 2 is Friday night. Brian Foulken, who became a fan during the Gretzky era and collects Oilers merchandise, said Gretzky's accomplishments, including multiple scoring records that stand to this day, still resonate with people. As for the criticism, Foulken said people are going to have their own opinions. 'At the end of the day, (Gretzky) played here for a long time. The diehard Oilers (fans), we love him,' he said outside the arena before Game 1. Story continues below advertisement Foulken added that current Oilers captain Connor McDavid is inching closer to Gretzky-level greatness. Darren Rogers, a Gretzky fan since the Oilers' inception into the NHL in 1979, said Gretzky's leadership led the team to win multiple Stanley Cups. Politics aside, that accomplishment should matter more to people in the grand scheme of things, Rogers said.

Rusty Kennedy/ AP Photos Gretzky was in Edmonton for Wednesday's game. Story continues below advertisement And as storied as Gretzky is to the Oilers franchise, he appeared to still be catching up to this new generation's fan base. On an American sports network, he sat side by side with commentators, as they discussed the Oilers' new tradition of playing the pop song 'Pink Pony Club.' Players have been tight-lipped about the significance of the Chappell Roan hit, typically heard after the team plays 'La Bamba' by Los Lobos following a win. 'Pink Pony — is that a band or is that a song?' the 64-year-old Gretzky asked TNT Sports co-host Paul Bissonnette following the Oilers' 4-3 overtime victory in Game 1. '(Roan) sings a song, 'Pink Pony Club,' and it's famous. It's on the radio,' Bissonnette answered. 'It's the new generation, Wayne,' he added. Gretzky appeared disappointed to learn Roan isn't Canadian, but still seemed eager to check out the song. 'I gotta get that (as) my ringtone,' Gretzky said.
