UK might learn something from this, not least in the matter of insulation standards (somewhat relevant at the moment).
Nous avons lancé l’agence Maisons Canada l’automne dernier, et celle-ci contribue déjà à accélérer le rythme de la construction résidentielle : des milliers de nouveaux logements sont en cours de construction.

I have a subscription to Private Eye. I never read the thing; I just consider it my charitable duty to help to prop up pretty much the only news-related publication which occasionally prints truthful items rather than the blatant lies which fill all other "news" publications.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

A counterclaim might be an interesting idea
BBC has a case against Trump. WhiteHouse Chief Press Officer called the BBC ‘100% fake news.’ Which is defamatory and untrue.

"Now that prices have risen, shop around, order fewer and plant in groups, not regimented armies: less, in tulip bedding, is often aesthetically more."
