According to a report from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) indicating ongoing foreign interference from China could jeopardize Canadian democracy, Jagmeet Singh, leader of Canada's left-leaning New Democratic Party (NDP), accused some members of parliament of being 'traitors' involved in espionage for other countries, emphasizing the need to dismiss problematic MPs while not naming anyone specifically. Singh expressed growing worry after reviewing an edited report by a Parliamentary committee on national security matters, highlighting concerns over foreign influence compromising citizens' trust and Trudeau's government being on the defensive. The report did not disclose names but mentioned India and China as primary foreign threats to Canada's democratic system. Singh's stance clashes with Green Party leader Elizabeth May's opinion following the same confidential report, where she stated no current MPs were deliberately betraying Canada, although a former MP was reportedly involved in sharing classified information with a foreign intelligence official during travel abroad, with some MPs unknowingly participating in foreign interference initiatives. CSIS had previously warned about China's ongoing foreign interference activities potentially undermining Canadian democracy, a claim denied by Chinese authorities.

During the Central Bank's recent board meeting, the decision to maintain interest rates was accompanied by the announcement of the 6th wave of credit control measures, limiting second home loans to 60% in major cities and Hsinchu County and City. Despite the tightening regulations, there is still a window for home upgrade buyers to sell their first homes with some buffer time, and the use of spousal gifting policies can help alleviate financial pressures. The decision not to raise interest rates is expected to keep monthly mortgage payments relatively stable, offering some relief to homeowners. However, experts caution that a stronger approach may be necessary if market speculation continues unchecked.
