NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says he wants to stop foreign buyers from purchasing homes in Canada. He says that if he becomes the leader, his government would fix current rules by stopping numbered companies and corporate representatives from buying homes. This ban wouldn’t apply to recreational properties like cottages and cabins. Singh also says an NDP government would tax profits made from selling a home within five years of buying it, unless it's someone’s main home. This is to prevent people from flipping houses for profit. Last year, the Liberals extended a ban on foreign homebuyers unt

Alberta's government will soon tie public hospital funding to the number and type of procedures performed, a move critics warn won't improve the public system and will only accelerate private delivery. Premier Danielle Smith says the new ``activity-based'' model, expected to be implemented for some surgeries in 2026, will drive costs down by fostering competition among public and private providers who will be rewarded for delivering better results. Smith says it will make the system more efficient, lower wait times, provide more transparency and attract more surgeons to the province. Albert
