It's a stark reality, and we confront the urgent need for sustainable solutions to ensure everyone has a roof over their head. Shifting gears, we explore the tech frontier where artificial intelligence is reshaping our cultural landscape. As more companies leverage AI it is leading to some crazy developments which we dive head first into. And, of course, we can't ignore the buzz about the Liberal government's newly proposed housing plan for Canada.
