Housing sales and starts data from 2025 point to serious and compounding consequences for employment, future housing supply, government revenues, and the province’s long-term economic outlook. A decline of this magnitude will inevitably translate into fewer housing starts. By 2030, annual housing starts are expected to fall to roughly 40,000 units, including purpose-built rental, down from about 80,000 today. According to the latest data from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, housing starts in Ontario declined sharply in 2025. On the employment side, the housing construction sector has been one of the province’s most reliable employment engines.

The owners of Obladee Wine Bar won a temporary reprieve in court Tuesday after their landlord served notice of an early lease termination because of renovations to the Tramway Building in downtown Halifax. The original lease termination was for Jan. 31, 2026. Justice Glen McDougall said in court the temporary pause on the lease termination isn't intended to prevent the owners of the Tramway Building from doing repairs, but to carry out that work with minimal negative impacts to Obladee. In a social media post last week, the Rankins wrote their landlord told them the eviction was necessary to comply with an HRM order dated Sept. 9, 2025. The facade of the Tramway Building, where Obladee is housed, is in need of repairs because of falling debris.

The toy retailer announced Tuesday that it has filed for creditor protection while it embarks on a restructuring that could see its footprint further diminished or the whole business sold to new owners. Creditor protection temporarily shields an insolvent company from having to pay those it owes money to while it figures out its next steps. In court documents, Toys "R" Us Canada said the step was necessary because the company has struggled to cope with inflation, rising labour costs, supply chain disruptions and a shift toward e-commerce. Toys "R" Us Canada is owned by a numbered company that does business as Putman Investments. Its sister company Everest Toys, started by the father of Putman Investments leader Doug Putman, was forced into receivership last year.
