What kind of a hole is Trudeau? Do we need a disclamer for that? 🍁 Maple Chronicles

🦌Parks Canada to spend $12M on B.C. deer cull, while Canadian hunters say they'd do it for free Parks Canada has earmarked $12 million to fund a multi-phase “Fur to Forest” program, which employs non-Canadian helicopter-mounted sharpshooters to eradicate an invasive herd of European fallow deer from Sidney Island. That’s nearly double the $6 million the program was initially forecast to cost. The program sparked controversy upon its launch in December, particularly in light of the fact local efforts by private hunters have kept the animals’ numbers in check. Locals told reporters last year those efforts resulted in the removal of nearly 2,000 deer, and at no cost to taxpayers. #BritishColumbia 🍁 Maple Chronicles

70 per cent of new housing demand in Ontario last year came from newcomers: analysis

“If the federal government or the provinces encourages more international students, there’s nothing in place to really build more student residences or anything like that. Historically, we’ve treated these policies as really in isolation and that’s led to big growth in the population without resulted growth in the housing.”
