Vancouver rent was so expensive that university student Tim Chen found it cheaper to fly to class twice a week.
In February 2024, UBC student Tim Chen explained that renting a one-bedroom would cost him roughly C$2,500 a month.
Instead, he lived rent-free with his parents in Calgary, and commuted by plane.
He only needed to attend campus two days a week. Each round trip cost around C$150, bringing his monthly flight bill to roughly C$1,200.
His routine: fly to Vancouver in the morning, attend class, take the bus back to the airport and fly home that night.
Eight return trips a month still cost less than half the rent he’d been quoted.

🚨🇮🇹 Everyone is going crazy over young Romano Floriani MUSSOLINI, the footballer attracting attention for both his performances on the pitch and the surname he carries ⚽️
But let’s untangle the family tree of one of Italy’s most famous and controversial families, tracing the connections that link the young footballer to the Duce and Sophia Loren
Let’s start with Benito Mussolini, the Fascist dictator who left a dark mark on Italian history
His marriage to Rachele Guidi produced five children: Edda, Vittorio, Bruno, Romano and Anna Maria
It is through Romano Mussolini, the Duce’s fourth child and a jazz pianist, that we reach our protagonist
Romano married Maria Scicolone, sister of legendary actress Sophia Loren
They had two daughters: Alessandra and Elisabetta Mussolini
Alessandra is the family’s best-known figure today: a former actress, television personality and politician who has served in Italy’s Chamber of Deputies, the Senate and the European Parliament
She had three children with Mauro Floriani: Caterina, Clarissa and Romano
So here he is: Romano Floriani Mussolini, great-grandson of Benito Mussolini!
He is also Sophia Loren’s great-nephew, as she is his great-aunt on his mother’s side
A family linking political history, entertainment and sports, now back in the spotlight thanks to this young footballer, who is winning over the public with his performances and charisma, especially among the ladies and right wings…😉

The BC Human Rights Tribunal has dismissed a five-year-old complaint by trans-identifying Jessica Simpson (formerly Jonathan Yaniv) against Langley firefighters. Lawyers funded by the Justice Centre have successfully defended estheticians and Canada Galaxy Pageants against Simpson’s complaints. They are now defending journalist Barbara Kay, author Meghan Murphy, and advocate Kari Simpson against complaints over their public statements on gender identity.

The ITALIAN PASSPORT story 🇮🇹🛂
Flávio BOLSONARO escape route
Sometimes, reality surpasses fiction
And this story, intertwining politics, justice and citizenship, has an unexpected protagonist: an Italian passport
The man at the center of it all is Flávio Bolsonaro, son of former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro and the right-wing candidate in the October 25, 2026 presidential election
The story took a dramatic turn when Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered him to surrender his passports, including foreign ones, and barred him from leaving the country
His Brazilian passports were canceled, but one crucial detail remained: Flávio also held Italian citizenship
According to Brazilian media reports, it was his Italian passport that allowed him to enter Argentina and continue his journey to the United States
Here lies the paradox: while Brazilian authorities were preventing him from leaving, a document issued by another country may have enabled him to cross a border
But how did he obtain Italian citizenship?
The answer lies in jure sanguinis, the principle of citizenship by descent
Flávio and his brothers Eduardo and Carlos obtained recognition of their Italian citizenship through an ancestor from Anguillara Veneta, in the province of Padua!
A connection to their roots that, thousands of miles from Italy, became something remarkably tangible: the means of reaching safety in the United States, away from a regime in Brazil that could have spelled disaster for this family… 🇺🇸🇧🇷

Melania Trump is reportedly playing a much bigger role in the Russia-Ukraine war than previously known.
The first lady held talks involving Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy, with both countries said to have authorized her to serve as their “exclusive intermediary” in negotiations over a localized ceasefire.
The discussions covered military movements, evacuation routes and the recovery of bodies from the battlefield.
The agreement, which took effect October 27, opens a roughly weeklong window to deliver aid and evacuate some 2,000 civilians trapped in Russian-occupied Oleshky.
How Melania helped bring the two sides to an agreement, and what could happen next:

🚨🇮🇹 What has just happened in Italy is unbelievable and SHAMEFUL ‼️
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is furious
Youssef Siher, of Moroccan origin, considered the mastermind behind the “October 17 movement” and the related riots, has been released from custody
The female judge (and I’m sure leftist) disregarded the prosecution’s request for his arrest
The left-wing judiciary is a plague

If there have been real and credible threats to people than this is a matter for the RCMP. If this is fear based messaging meant to stir ppl up - it has no place in our school system. It may even negatively affect ppls mental health and ability to work at or attend school.
The BC teachers union president issued this statement today 🥴
"I recognize that with the outcome of a Conservative government, many of us may be feeling disappointed, scared, or deeply concerned about what might come next.
I know these results may be particularly concerning for Indigenous, racialized, and 2SLGBTQIA+ members. You are not alone."

Carney delivered $733B in debt the first interest rate hike in 3 years, and total economic stagnation.
He says he will add a staggering $733 BILLION in total borrowing and government loans.
That means adding $6,000 every single year to every Canadian's debt load —yep that's on you and the majority of you said: "Alrighty!"
The "growth" banker gave us nothing but a massive bill —beating out Trudeau’s debt load.

Quarterback Alex Smith says his life was completely changed by his experience in rehab with servicemen and women who lost limbs overseas.
Smith says he was bitter about life after suffering a grotesque leg injury.
It wasn't until he rehabbed with military amputees that his mindset completely changed.
"I was very bitter for a long time in my rehab process."
"I got this thing called the Secretary of Defense designation... I got access to military medical care."
Smith says when he looked around at all the servicemen and women who had severe injuries, his outlook completely changed.
"There's like double amputees, there's triple amputees, there's terrible burn victims in there. And nobody's hiding behind their scars."
"... it was like the only place in the world where those guys were egging me on and like goading me to do more..."
"Fast forward 2 years later... come back and lace up cleats again and put on a helmet and go play."
Awesome story.
