On this day in 1996, LAYNE STALEY played his final show with Alice in Chains  at Kemper Arena in Kansas City.

This photo is the steel reinforcement used in the base of a wind turbine. To complete it you still have to add between 600 and 800 cubic metres of concrete, which is a weight of nearly 2000 tons.

Once the wind turbine is dismantled, this base will forever be buried in the ground.

Despite what the alarmists tell you this sort of energy is not clean and green.

NEW FEDERAL REPORT LINKS IMMIGRATION TO RISING HOUSING COSTS
Statistics Canada and IRCC confirm a direct correlation between recent immigration and housing price increases especially in Canada's largest cities.

So it turns out the government of Canada just released a report — and it's not from some conspiracy blog or partisan think tank. No, this is from the Trudeau government's own bureaucrats at Statistics Canada and Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. What does it say? Well, it quietly admits that something many of us have known for years and were called racists, bigots, and extremists for saying out loud is actually true: mass immigration has directly caused housing prices to skyrocket in Canada.

They crunched the numbers, ran the models, and here's what they found: from 2006 to 2021, a sharp increase in new immigrants people arriving within the last five years — was tied to an 11% increase in both house prices and rents across municipalities. Eleven percent. And in big cities like Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal? That number jumps to 21%. Rents up 13%. Those aren't theories. That's what happened.

And here's the really shocking part: more than 80% of those new immigrants ended up in just 53 municipalities. So if you're living in a city, if you're a working-class Canadian trying to buy your first home, raise your family, or maybe just rent an apartment that doesn't bankrupt you, you're paying the price literally for Ottawa's immigration agenda.

But wait, this is where it gets worse. This wasn't a mistake. It wasn't an accident. It wasn't just a side effect of some well-meaning policy gone wrong. This is the design. Trudeau and his successor, Mark Carney — yes, the former Goldman Sachs banker turned Liberal savior — engineered this. You import millions of people, you restrict supply, you choke development with red tape, and then you act surprised when prices go through the roof?

You know who benefits from this? Not the young couple trying to buy their first condo in Mississauga. Not the plumber in Surrey trying to get out of his parents' basement. No, the winners are real estate investors, developers, corporate landlords — and the Liberal Party, which gets a permanent bloc of voters hooked on big government. Everyone else? They get crushed.

It's most productive citizens are emigrating, but they're being replaced with people like this. What could go wrong with that.

Canadians are among the most indebted people in the entire G20. They also have the lowest economic growth and the least amount of investment. This is a recipe for an inevitable crash.

The brain drain is picking up. Canadians with the skills are doing what I did and emigrating. They have no confidence in their country anymore.

Simply put - because the United States can't afford his tax cuts.

But don't take my word or any Liberal's word for it.

Republican & fiscal Conservative Senator Rand Paul said so. So did Republican Thom Tillis. And even Republican Susan Collins.

And btw, this not a liberal nor Conservative problem.

It's a fiscal problem.

When there isn't enough money available to pay for those tax cuts there simply isn't enough money.

America will be broke in 10 years & they'll have the Donald to thank.

Sorry if the truth hurts, Trump supporters.
