To the editor: Your article on the DIY house built by homeless immigrants in Highland Park vividly brought to mind the various favelas I saw in Rio de Janeiro many years ago. Many of them were intricately constructed of several different materials, some with a great deal of skill and artistry. And I could not help wondering at the time how there was such a disparity in that city between the extremely wealthy and so many poor people living in these shacks. I keep wondering the same thing now. If...
Hamilton, Halton, Niagara and area news from CHCH - Hamilton, Halton, and Niagara news.. A local charity is trying to put a dent in the housing crisis — one tiny home at a time. They’re called IMBY, which is short for “In My Backyard,” and they’re building laneway homes in Hamilton to help people who are on the verge of becoming homeless. Their very first project is almost complete […]
To the editor: I am writing to to express my dismay at the "ambitious" housing initiative unveiled by L.A. Mayor Karen Bass in her State of the City address.

The Democratic Party leadership wants more funding to hire more Border Patrol agents so they can process and allow more immigrants into our country -- and then distribute those people throughout the United States.
MAD, MAD WORLD It’s not only dismaying, but baffling to see modern day fascism continuing to fill our streets with hate and evil. Professional, genocide-chanting social justice martyrs are gladly professing their support for terrorists who murder, rape and torture. It is beyond comprehension that people today can knowingly and deliberately choose to side with […]
I was reading an article last week about members of the "Squad" demanding that anti-Jewish protesters be released and allowed to resume their terrorist-supporting activities -- and I have to say, this just shows that these members of Congress hate Jews.
