When comparing our prices to the US people overlook the fact that mortgage interest payments are tax deductible in the US. That means they have to earn $1000 tp pay $1000 in mortgage interest. A Canadian in a 40% tax bracket has to earn $1600 to pay $1000 in mortgage interest. This means a typical $1 million 1930s crappy house in Kitsalano (Vancouver) would cost far, far more that the lovely $1 million house in San Diego – when you factor interest on the mortgage.

Garth, in response to your vitriol regarding a recent first-time home buyer seminar, didn’t you help to promote such seminars when you were business editor at the Toronto Sun? I recall you were even a speaker at one or two, telling the property virgins they should run out and buy their first home as quickly as they can. I also recall you bought a boatload of real estate during that time. I suppose you would still speak at the seminars if the money were there, like it is when you shill for private investment companies across Canada. You are still feasting, Garth, but at a different trough.

That was 22 years ago. Houses were affordable, no 5% down, no 35-year ams, no teaser rates. That makes this the stupidest comment of the day. Congrats. You just won a rowhouse in Detroit. — Garth

For all intent and purpose the National Post is to Canada what Fox is news is to the US ……

Who cares? Canadians dug their own grave when they gave Mr. Harper an opening having decided they could just not stand prosperity! (yearly balanced budgets, billions in the banks and a emergency trust fund worth a few billion to boot) and yes mortgage controls. So ladies and gentlemen if you want to find the reason why go look in a mirror.

It’s too late …. it’s over and soon the salt will be driven into the fields of all opposition parties … The Republican North Wing (Ottawa) is en route arriving in neighbourhood near you. AND the sad part is many will never know what hit them and will continue to blame the Liberals from their hands and knees waiting for their meager penance from a self appointed President.
