Vancouver

Toronto and Vancouver have been ranked among the weakest-performing real estate markets in the world, according to a new global comparison picked up by Canadian outlets including BNN Bloomberg and CTV News. The findings point to cooling demand, high borrowing costs and stretched affordability weighing on home prices in Canada's two largest housing markets, renewing debate over how far prices could still fall.

Air Canada is ending its longest route, the nonstop service from Vancouver to Singapore. The move removes the only direct link between Canada and the Southeast Asian city-state, leaving travellers to connect through hubs elsewhere in Asia or Europe. Commentators in the aviation world are questioning the airline's reasoning, with speculation about demand, aircraft availability and profitability, and passengers with upcoming bookings are watching closely for rebooking options.
