Canada's Housing Market Just Showed Its Strongest Sign of Life in 2026

  July 6, 2026 May sales jumped 5.5% nationally, listings tightened, and prices broke back above $700,000 — here's what it actually means if you're buying or selling in Ontario.

Supreme Court Upholds Sentencing Schedule in Landmark Hush-Money Case


In a significant legal development, the U.S. Supreme Court has declined to intervene in the sentencing of former President Donald Trump in connection with the hush-money case. This decision comes after a lower court found Trump guilty on multiple counts of felony charges related to payments made to silence allegations of an affair during the 2016 presidential campaign. 

The high court's refusal to halt the sentencing allows the legal process to proceed without further delay, setting a precedent for the accountability of public figures. Trump's legal team had sought to postpone the sentencing, citing various constitutional challenges, but the justices denied these requests without comment. 

Legal analysts suggest that this outcome underscores the judiciary's independence and the principle that no individual is above the law. The sentencing is now scheduled to proceed as planned, marking a pivotal moment in this high-profile case.
