I attended the Laurie Anderson performance at the Playhouse on Sunday, and she opened by saying she was surprised that she didn't know more people up here recalling that in 2000, when Bush was first elected, acquaintances were threatening to move.

When Bush was re-elected in 2004 the often heard response was, "that's it we're really going!"

Actions speak volumes.

You've mistaken your Daddy's lap with condos. Though I'm sure he's stuff a couple of loonies into that teensy little thong, 10 of 'em won't make you rich.

Have another Lychee martini sweetheart, then it's time for bed. Clearly you can't hold your drink.

However, by adding your voice to the cacophony of morons and vested interests denying such a massive and obvious problem, you put yourself squarely in the column of "contributor". So in the increasingly likely event of some kind of crisis, be aware that your culpability has been noted.

HST:Only apply to new housing,Developers can pass the cost of hst to buyers in bid to keep their jobs alive or they will reduce the construction of new homes.

RESULTS:Resale home market will move up to the extent where buyers will be agree to pay HST and they will countinue buying new house.

HST on Realtors commissions:It will put pressure on realtors to reduce their Commissions to find buyers and sellers or buyers and sellers will learn to deal directly to save HST and realtors COMMISSIONS rates.Seller can pass half or equal of full commissions to buyers.

INTEREST RATES:Interest rates pressures grow through the gauge of economy recovery and Interest rates proceed up wards gradually,Specially interest rates never poise any threat without any outer reason like Inflation rates,employment rates.

when all wires keep on proceeding to one direction- buyers and sellers chase each other again and again and likely to pay asking or over the list for housing and matterials.When labours from the suppliers and recievers get tired and stuff soaks with mistakes other hand transportation become unavailable then developers bid to pay double double and increase their asking prices double double that's the time when some one must pass out or pass away to break the oura of gauge of economy.

Conclusion:While the economy pace is little fragile and Oil Prices moves back again and again this provision provide natural life support to the sector(housing) that is already leading the economy.In short words.

WE ARE 29 year behind from the collapse that does not hurt VANCOUVER R.E. by more than 7% or again = Realtors commissions.

"As you note, there are many aspects that still need to be addressed to prevent serious fallout from a potential housing bubble and ______ has forwarded your input to our Finance Critic for their information. _____ has also flagged these concerns with the Parliamentary Budget Officer and requested that his office take a closer look at these regulations."

There are many aspects that still need to be addressed to prevent serious fallout from a potential housing bubble. The fact they even used such language meant more to me than anything else in the email.

The fact the BOC has changed mortgage rules for the 2nd time in as many years again reflects the fact they see a bubble and are trying to acknowledge it without being blamed for its formation or its destruction. Warnings and restrictions from the BOC are a political tactic as much as they are a way to thwart further debt inflation.

Nicely said. These bears have been around crying since a few years ago. They've been sitting on the sidelines bickering and have watched their neighbors get rich.
