Toronto's tunnel mystery continues
Police are seeking the public's help in finding out who dug a giant underground tunnel that was discovered last month near Toronto's York University.
At a news conference Tuesday morning, police shed no light on who built the hole or why, but said that nothing in its construction indicates a criminal motive, nor is it being seen as a major security issue.
The Tories' pricy promise
A parliamentary watchdog says the Conservative government's plan to double the contribution limit for tax-free savings accounts would cost Ottawa and the provinces billions in revenue and only benefit well-off Canadians, Bill Curry reports.
"Like a little baby who looks cuddly and cute, this proposed initiative would grow up to be the hulking teenager who eats everyone out of house and home," a similar report from Simon Fraser University Professor Rhys Kesselman points out.
Unsold condos are stacking up
First-time buyers in smaller cities are being hit hardest by Ottawa's new mortgage rules, Tamsin McMahon found out.
This is the result:
- Montreal had a backlog of nearly 3,000 unsold condos last year, and there are now nearly 20 condo sellers for every one buyer in Quebec City
- In Regina and Saskatoon, the number of unsold housing units hit a 30-year high
- And last year was the first time in 30 years that Winnipeg saw more multifamily units under construction than single-family homes.
A glimpse into the real world of spies
Leaked intelligence documents have revealed that daily espionage is mundane, often absurd and prone to bureaucratic bickering, Geoffrey York writes.

That's what Crystal Luxmore did during her second pregnancy, after realizing that her husband was almost the only person she saw after her first child was born.
Turns out many expectant mamas have the same idea.
