3 h. ago Elon Musk says 'Canada is not a real country' but used to work as a lumberjack here

Hundreds of thousands of Canadians have signed a petition to revoke the citizenship of Elon Musk, who holds dual citizenship in the U.S. and Canada. And, he appears to be a little upset about the idea."Canada is not a real country," the senior advisor to U.S. President Donald Trump and tech billionaire said on X. The post was deleted soon after.Those are bold words for someone who has kids with three Canadian women, has a Canadian mother, and lived in Canada.But few people know that before he became an internationally known edge lord, Musk worked as a lumberjack in this very "not real" country.According to the book Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future, Musk left his South Africa home at just 17 to move to Canada, where he lived and worked on his cousin's farm in Waldeck, Saskatchewan.He also became a Canadian citizen, as his mother, Maye Musk, was born in Regina.

Wayne Gretzky doesn't appear too happy about the criticism he's received in the wake of last week's 4 Nations Face-Off.Named the honorary captain for last week's final of the international hockey tournament against the United States, Gretzky appeared for a ceremonial pregame puck drop alongside American captain Auston Matthews, Canadian captain Connor McDavid, and American Olympic gold medallist and honorary captain Mike Eruzione.But while Eruzione came out in a USA jersey, Gretzky opted for a suit, entered the ice through the American bench, and appeared to give a thumbs up to American players while not offering the same grace to the Canadians.Given the fact that the dual-citizen Gretzky has closely supported Donald Trump — including appearing at his official election party in November and showing up in Washington for his inauguration in January — many Canadians weren’t exactly a fan of the choice."How fickle can people be when someone who has given so much t...

4 h. ago Ontario sees another enormous jump in people not paying housing and other bills

As if we needed more facts and figures to remind us how bad Canada's economy is at present, a new report has offered a glimpse into just how many people nationwide have been unable to cover their major bills, with mortgage delinquency in particular at an all-time high.And, residents of Ontario are the worst culprits.The data, published by Equifax Canada this week, comes from the final months of 2024, a year in which consumer debt across the country grew by 4.6 per cent, to a total of an unthinkable $2.56 trillion.Though falling lending rates over the course of the year helped to relieve the debts of some, the credit company says that "financial pressures intensified" for many others, especially those with mortgages in our two most exorbitant provinces for property: Ontario and B.C.When looking at the fourth quarter of the year versus the same time in 2023, there was a shocking 90.2 per cent increase in the number of Ontarians who hadn't made a mortgage ...
