Vancouver Budget Balances Books Without Tax Hike

Vancouver city council approved a 2026 budget, which includes a freeze on municipal property taxes. Vancouver City Council has approved a new budget that pledges no increase in property taxes, a move welcomed by many residents facing rising living costs. However, the financial plan comes with significant trade-offs: millions of dollars will be cut from arts programs, park services, and other community initiatives. City officials argue the budget reflects a commitment to fiscal responsibility while easing pressure on households. Critics, however, warn that reductions in cultural and recreational funding could erode the city’s vibrancy and limit access to public spaces. The decision highlights the ongoing challenge of balancing affordability with investment in community life. As Vancouver grows, the debate over how to fund essential services without raising taxes is likely to intensify.

Trump's Controversial Plan for Gaza Sparks Global Outrage

In a stunning announcement, former U.S. President Donald Trump proposed a bold plan to take over the Gaza Strip and transform it into the "Riviera of the Middle East." During a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump outlined his vision to **displace over two million Palestinians** and develop the war-torn region into a luxurious tourist destination.

The proposal has drawn widespread condemnation from global leaders and human rights organizations. Critics argue that the plan would lead to a bloody occupation and further destabilize the already volatile region. Palestinian leaders have expressed revulsion, calling the plan a violation of international law and an attempt to erase Palestinian identity.

The international community remains divided on the feasibility and morality of Trump's vision, with many fearing it could ignite new conflicts in the Middle East. As the debate continues, the world watches closely to see how this controversial proposal will unfold.
