Ukraine Marks Somber Anniversary as Zelenskyy Vows Resolve Amid Fractured Allied Support

Ukrainians pay tribute to victims of the Russian invasion, on the day marking the fourth anniversary of the full-scale Russian invasion. As Ukraine enters another year of full‑scale war, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy used the anniversary to deliver a message of defiance and endurance. Speaking to the nation, he emphasized that Ukraine’s determination to resist Russia has not weakened, even as the conflict grinds on with no clear end in sight.

Condo market slump: GTA projects cancelled amid low demand


According to a report released today, The Greater Toronto Area (GTA) is experiencing a slowdown in condominium sales, with builders shelving dozens of new condo projects due to low sales. The number of new condominiums started construction in the GTA has hit a 10-year low of 1,798 units, down 72% from the second quarter of 2022.


The report also suggests that rising interest rates and market uncertainty have contributed to the decline in sales. Urbanation’s Q3-2023 Condominium Market Survey reveals that the number of condos sold in the Toronto region failed to reach the 3,000 mark, with only 2,664 new condo units sold throughout the GTA during the third quarter of this year .


The report attributed the surge in cancellations to a combination of factors, including rising construction costs, supply chain disruptions, labour shortages, financing challenges, and changing consumer preferences. Urbanation's president, Shaun Hildebrand, said that the GTA condo market is undergoing a "major correction" and that developers are facing "unprecedented headwinds" in bringing their projects to completion.
