I take the view that the housing market had a 150 percent rise in price in a matter of two years…. Could the opposite not also occur?

I’m just pushing 30, so perhaps I do not have the urgency to buy property like you seem to have.

Yes, I do know the 97st area. Yes, the price is absolutely ridiculous.

Why participate in this gong show?

It is not like we are living in one of the top cities in the world where such pricing can at least be somewhat justified. This is Edmonton.

In the end … do what you feel comfortable doing… Hopefully it will work out for you…

Suncor swings to loss on lower oil price

Suncor announced late Tuesday that the Competition Bureau approved its planned merger with Petro-Canada (TSX: PCA). With that key hurdle cleared, the company expects the transaction to be a done deal on Aug. 1

The Competition Bureau approval was granted on the condition Suncor sell some 104 gas stations in southern Ontario, the only region where there is overlap between Petro-Canada’s stations and Suncor’s Sunoco-branded outlets.

Figures, as Sunoco is generally the LOWEST PRICED source in our area. Does this mean we will all be using Tar Sludge for fuel in our overpriced cars and trucks?

…Who wants to pay rent to live in a crappy walkup all of their lives?…

Well that answers your question. So why are you waiting to buy?
