A Pricey Path to Residency: Trump Administration Unveils $1M Gold Card Visa

  The Trump administration has announced the launch of a new immigration initiative dubbed the Gold Card Visa , a program that grants residency to foreign nationals willing to invest $1 million. Marketed as a fast-track entry into the United States, the visa is designed to attract wealthy investors and entrepreneurs seeking long-term opportunities in the country. Officials describe the program as a way to boost economic growth by channeling foreign capital into American businesses and infrastructure. Critics, however, argue that the policy favors the ultra-rich while sidelining skilled workers and families who lack the financial means to participate. The Gold Card Visa is expected to generate debate over the balance between economic incentives and equitable access to immigration. Supporters see it as a pragmatic move to secure investment, while opponents warn it could deepen inequality in the immigration system.

Ontario PCs Unveil $40-Billion Platform, Promise to Eliminate Alcohol Floor Price

Ontario's Progressive Conservatives, led by Doug Ford, have unveiled a campaign platform promising up to $40 billion in new spending. This announcement comes just three days before the provincial election. The platform includes several previously unannounced measures, such as a $5-billion Protect Ontario Account to counter potential U.S. tariffs, $705 million to expand STEM and skilled trades training at post-secondary institutions, and $50 million to support modular housing technology.

One of the most notable promises is the proposal to eliminate the minimum retail price for liquor. Currently, the minimum price for a 750-millilitre bottle of vodka is set to rise to $31.15 this weekend. Ford argues that removing the floor price will save consumers money and put more money back into their pockets, likening it to a tax break.

The platform, however, does not include a full costing breakdown of how these promises will be funded. Ford defended the absence of detailed cost estimates by citing his government's track record of fiscal responsibility over the past seven years.

As the election day approaches, voters will have to weigh these ambitious promises against the potential impact on the province's budget and economic stability.
