		<description>Just read your last two books, Garth. 

People just don&#039;t understand what being a prophet is all about. It isn&#039;t foretelling, it is warning and advising to avoid disaster and to move toward blessing, co-operation - to live long and prosper - and that is what I see you doing in your writings. That cannot be done in mute silence and acquiescence. 

Therefore you encourage dialogue but when it degenerates into defensive stridor instead of reasoned input to assist in the situation and the point is missed, we all lose. 

You do write as a journalist, which is why I do my own writing. I ponder more. But, you are sharper and quicker and have resources at your fingertips and that too is what we need in this digital world....so long as we don&#039;t get that electrical storm that was rumoured to me for 2010 and the lights and everything electrical go out......At least my bicycle and key don&#039;t need electricity to work.

Remember the ozone layer crisis? It wasn&#039;t bogus. We did something about it. That is what you encourage Garth - intervention. Thanks.</description>

This better &lt;b&gt;NOT&lt;/b&gt; be the sign of things to come or associated with increasing real estate sales.</description>

		<description>Speaking of Color... I see that the BOB RENNIE RED is out in force again in today&#039;s Vancouver Sun!! (Which just announced that it is raising it&#039;s subscription prices as of Aug 1st due to low advertising revenue)

Who says the MSM is not in Bed with the real estate industry!  Check it out.  Bob has two FULL PAGE ads in the Sun today.  One on the back page of the first section... hawking the idiots that bought at the Richards Landmark owned by Aquloonie!!

Another full page ad on the back of the Westcoast Homes section also pushing Richards and some other dream money pit....... and Geeeehh!

What do we find!

On page 2 of the WCH section.. a East Vancouver home that sold for..... ready for this.... $824,000!!!  $25K over asking price!  (After they couldn&#039;t sell it last fall... according to Paul Eviston.. because people were low balling them!)  

Only in Vancouver could you get $824K for a home on a 25ft x 112 ft lot!!

But guess who the BUYING agent company was!  Oh... wait for it!!   RENNIE MARKETING SYSTEMS!    What an absolute coincidence!   What are the odds!

Come on people.. open your eyes... this MSM RE push is a slight of hands.. with everyone involved that matters!

&lt;i&gt;Move along... nothing to see here!!&lt;/i&gt;

&lt;em&gt;Thanks for the Van intell. The picture on today&#039;s post is from your link to the Sun. Truly inspirational. -- Garth&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>#2 Nostradamus jr. &quot;â€¦Vancouver has been â€œappreciatingâ€ for nearly 30 years straight.â€¦Ontario is the new found Welfare Stateâ€¦Vancouver continues to attract wealthy (potheads)...&quot;

Come on, give it a break buddy! What are you a pro-Vancouver Realtor?

Everyone knows Toronto is the centre of the Universe, everything revolves around Toronto, even Hongcouver.
