There were approximately 650,000 workers in the construction sector last year, but housing starts only totalled 240,267, below the 400,000 that could have been built if those workers were used to capacity. And authorities said migrants would help solve the housing crisis. They lied, as usual. #housing 🍁 Maple Chronicles

🇨🇦📱🇨🇳Intelligence chief warns Canadians that China can use TikTok to spy on them The head of Canada's intelligence agency is warning Canadians against using TikTok.
My answer as director of [the Canadian Security Intelligence Service] is that there is a very clear strategy on the part of the government of China ... to be able to acquire ... personal information from anyone around the world.
