It’s like New York run by the Swiss bankers. Peter Ustinov’s slightly distorted quote about Toronto from three decades ago deserves an extra word now that Toronto is one of the world's seven priciest housing markets relative to salary. And with that sticker shock comes a new era of tales of yearing to leave:

"Didn’t you guys burn down the White House?” Donald Trump gave Justin Trudeau a quote for the ages. But distractions on Parliament Hill threaten to move in a different direction, thanks to the unearthing of a claim by a Creston, B.C. reporter that Trudeau apologized for groping her in 2000.
