Key Points

- Ontario recorded its best month in over a year for housing starts, yet the long-term sustainability of this growth remains uncertain due to economic challenges and elevated borrowing costs.
- The Ontario Provincial Police have issued a warning about a rise in aggressive door-to-door sales and mortgage fraud, advising residents to remain vigilant and take proactive steps to protect themselves and their families.
