Bear are still in consistent denial. Let's take a walk in your neighborhood,and you will find out that every single house with sale sign in the past few months has been sold. People are casting their vote for Van RE with real money. Don't be a loser and face the reality. RE in Vancouver won't be cheap because it is well supported by Chinese. Sick and tire of bear's gloomy since 2002 and they failed miserably since. Hop in now or you will be left in the wild.

Note to lying real estate economist, brokers, and the lot...anything divided by zero seems HUGE.

jesse: I agree; if every reporter were like Mr. Baines, I'd purchase a subscription to that newspaper.

The Sun has some decent reporters working for it. I only wish they would treat other reporters' articles to the same high standard. I enjoy reading David Baines articles. Now all they have to do is hire 20 other David Bainses and the paper would be a great read.

Canwest has destroyed journalism in my opinion. They have the party line which no one can cross.

[ring.... ring....] SomewhereInSurrey: "Hello?" Caller: "Hello, I'm calling from the Vancouver Sun. Our records show that you currently do not have a Vancouver Sun subscription. Would you be interested in subscribing to the Vancouver Sun at 50% off the regular subscription cost for one year? This offer is only available this week." SomewhereInSurrey: "I don't read very good. They keep calling me illegitimate." Caller: "I think you mean "illiterate""? SomewhereInSurrey: "Ya. They say that too..." Caller: "Well then, I understand. Perhaps then you would prefer a subscription to the Province?"

More BS from the MSM debunked.

"WASHINGTON – The total number of people on the unemployment insurance rolls dropped for the first time since early January, the government said Thursday, while new claims for benefits rose slightly.

The report shows that job losses are easing after companies made deep cuts earlier this year. But it's not clear whether recipients of unemployment insurance are finding new jobs or simply using up all their benefits, which typically last 26 weeks.

"It is unlikely that new hiring has picked up in any meaningful fashion," Joshua Shapiro, chief economist with MFR Inc., a consulting firm, wrote in a note to clients. "More probable is that long-term unemployed are starting to fall off the rolls."
