Binance CFO resigns
So it begins
The bitcoin hack is much worse than they are letting on
The exchanges are going to collapse
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Bitcoin network was not hacked.
Attackers breached Binance’s crypto exchange infrastructure (hot wallets), not the blockchain itself.
Approximately $1.5B in BTC was part of a ~$6.3B heist.
Bitcoin consensus, mining, and the protocol were unaffected.

BREAKING: The delinquency rate on multifamily Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS) rose +5 basis points in October, to 8.1%, its highest since 2016.
This figure has more than quadrupled since 2024.
Furthermore, the delinquency rate on CMBS for offices jumped +17 basis points last month, to 12.3%, matching the all-time high set in January 2026.
To put this into perspective, this percentage peaked at ~10.8% in 2012, following the 2008 Financial Crisis.
The commercial real estate crisis is still worsening.

Canada, we do not HAVE to live like this. We can choose a different path.

Canada by a wide margin. CBC alone gets roughly $1.4 billion yearly from Ottawa, plus hundreds of millions more in tax credits, Local Journalism Initiative funds, and other supports for private outlets. North Korea runs a fully state-controlled media system inside an economy estimated at ~$30 billion GDP; its propaganda budget is opaque but orders of magnitude smaller in absolute dollars.

RBC dropped the national housing read today. Robert Hogue: Canada's fall recovery is "shaky at best."
Most big boards saw October sales up from September. Toronto, Vancouver, Fraser Valley, Ottawa, Hamilton, Edmonton.
Levels are still weaker than a year ago outside parts of the Prairies. Calgary, Montreal, Saskatoon and Winnipeg softened further.
The useful tell is inventory. Vancouver, Fraser Valley, Toronto and Hamilton are drawing supply down. Montreal, Quebec City and Ottawa are still adding listings from tight bases.
Toronto detail: sales -7.9% y/y, HPI -4.3%, condo HPI -7.3%, active listings -10%. Condos are still about a third of listings.
Inventory healing is not a rebound. Trade fear, higher long-term rates and softer immigration are still keeping buyers on the sidelines.

Hey Minister Bubbles If FINTRAC Was WORKING CLOSELY With US Authorities Why The Fuck Didn't You Announce The Sanctions Months Ago
Why were the Currency Stores still OPEN until the US Announcement hit
How stupid do you think Canadians are?
What a fucking liar
There is no place in Canada for financial networks that enable Iran to evade sanctions or finance illicit activity. FINTRAC worked closely with the U.S. on the imposition of sanctions against eight Canadian money services businesses today.
We are strengthening the way Canada fights financial crime to protect Canadians and the integrity of our financial system.

BREAKING: Canada's Carney’s government has released its 2027–29 immigration plan:
- 380,000 new permanent residents a year
- 370,000 new temporary residents a year (workers and students)
- Up to 348,000 more people already in Canada moved to permanent status through one-time programs
Combined, that could push permanent resident admissions well past the record of about 485,000 set in 2024, per CBC

Rising federal capital spending could nearly double non-financial assets by 2030. That makes debt-to-GDP look flatter (as it includes capital assets), even as net debt-to-GDP keeps climbing. #cdnecon

BREAKING: Rep. Thomas Massie is planning to force a House vote to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over the Iran war when Congress returns next week, per ABC
The Kentucky Republican filed eight articles of impeachment in September, accusing Hegseth of waging war without congressional approval and violating the War Powers Resolution.
