Real estate statistics are out now for the Ottawa market from November. Inventory is up to just over 3,300 listings, a 28% increase year over year. That's a lot of inventory, almost twice what it was during the pandemic.

Nayra Guzmán was 15 days post C-section — going to see her baby in the NICU — when she was taken to Broadview and held in custody for about 34 hours.
She slept on a bench and barely got food. She couldn't pump.
Her story is a rare window into the growing detention of pregnant & postpartum people.

Before Trump took office, postpartum immigrants were rarely detained by ICE. Nayra Guzmán was detained while her 15-day-old baby was in the NICU.

Again, they’re not “saying” that: it is a fact - an unambiguous legal fact.
Critics of the boat strikes say that under US and international law, killing noncombatants, including suspected criminals, who pose no immediate threat is illegal. Here's what to know
Are Trump’s Boat Strikes Legal?
US strikes on alleged drug-cartel boats in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean under President Donald Trump represent a sharp departure from traditional US counter-narcotics efforts. Unlike earlier maritime interdictions led mainly by the Coast Guard and other law enforcement agencies, these missions have taken the form of military airstrikes.
