Vancouver Budget Balances Books Without Tax Hike

Vancouver city council approved a 2026 budget, which includes a freeze on municipal property taxes. Vancouver City Council has approved a new budget that pledges no increase in property taxes, a move welcomed by many residents facing rising living costs. However, the financial plan comes with significant trade-offs: millions of dollars will be cut from arts programs, park services, and other community initiatives. City officials argue the budget reflects a commitment to fiscal responsibility while easing pressure on households. Critics, however, warn that reductions in cultural and recreational funding could erode the city’s vibrancy and limit access to public spaces. The decision highlights the ongoing challenge of balancing affordability with investment in community life. As Vancouver grows, the debate over how to fund essential services without raising taxes is likely to intensify.

Bad Boy Furniture Warehouse Declared Bankrupt After Failing to File Proposal

 

Bad Boy Furniture Warehouse, a Toronto-area furniture retailer, has been declared bankrupt after failing to file a proposal under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act. 

The company had filed a notice of intention in November 2023, stating that it aimed to restructure its business. However, it failed to file a cash-flow statement or proposal in time, and is now deemed to have made an assignment. The Ontario court gave Bad Boy permission to begin liquidation sales in November 2023.

The company’s failure to file a proposal has resulted in its bankruptcy, which has been confirmed by a document on the website of bankruptcy trustee KSV Advisory. The company’s bankruptcy is a significant blow to the furniture industry, and it remains to be seen how it will affect the industry as a whole.
