Where are the mortgage refiance stats? Refinance velocity determines prices. Saretsky on his cell phone cutting deals in seconds with offshore money, that type of thing.

“Stop being a ‘safe haven’: How Canada could do a better job keeping ‘dirty money’ out of the country Improve reporting of suspicious transactions and tighten real estate rules, experts say” http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/weaknesses-financial-intelligence-canada-1.4106391 “……The Transparency International report found the true owners of many of Vancouver’s most expensive real estate were masked by corporate structures that don’t reveal beneficial owners, making it challenging for authorities to know whether any of the properties were used to hide dirty money. In its 2017 budget, the federal government promised to work on changes to improve transparency into who owns corporations. In Ontario, the government started requiring new information last week about the beneficial owners of companies buying land with one to six houses or agricultural property. Canada’s stable economy and hot housing market make real estate the ideal place to park corrupt money, says Cooperman.… Read more »

Ironically, Canada’s “stable economy” will be destabilized by this inflow of corrupt money. It is inevitable.

Clearly they’re rich foreigners fleeing the FBT and driving up Victoria prices, much to the dismay of the locals.

Any MLA is a winner because… they won.
Any group of MLA’s that comprises a majority has the right to form a government because…. they’re bigger than the rest of the MLA’s.

The Liberal may still have a majority. I guess when you lose 5 elections in a row like the NDP a close second starts looking like a win. If I was an NDPer I would just pack it in, disband the party and apologize to all those who donated money over the years.

comments are a zinger. BC politics can be quite entertaining.
But im still of the mind that Christy and Weaver will work something out. Furstenau and Weaver know a thing or two about water, the new BC gold. And Clarks party is opportunistic by nature, hehe, sorry for the pun.
Whats the old plumber joke? Something about the direction of sewage and the day they get paid?

“would it be safe to assume the bulk of absentee votes are of the mail in variety?”
No, in fact mail in are a tiny fraction of absentee votes. The largest parts are in-riding absentees (at least in for non-metro ridings), then out-of-riding (but in BC) absentees, both at polling stations. Here’s a summary of Courtenay – Comox from the 2013 election. Note that the NDP won the absentee vote but lost overall.

I was listening to CKNW on the radio when the news came on and the top story was the Okanagan flooding.
The announcer was talking about the emergency situation and what local authorities were telling people in the area, but instead of saying “residents are being advised to evacuate” he actually said “home owners as well as renters are being advised to evacuate”.
This is what BC has become.

Do homeowners have precedence over renters in BC, in case of disasters and other emergencies, due to their class and social status?

You are a lot better off being a renter when disasters like this strike. There is a big difference that is fair to note. I would have the moving truck packing right now and be sending my landlord notice by registered mail they are responsible for my moving costs, interim accommodations and our rental agreement is terminated.

As they should be. Canadian sub-prime mortgages are a bigger problem than anyone realizes.
