Saw a comparison today that a house on the US side of the border is listed at $190k. 17km away on the Canadian side a similar house is $670k.

We are squeezing out any possibility of entering the housing market unless you are insanely rich. Our politicians are doing exactly nothing about it.

My parents are having a super hard time with theirs, top end market in Winnipeg has fallen out a bit, but also kind of makes sense. Nowhere near the $ here as where you are.

It doesn’t seem that complicated. It’s just weird. Hit the ball, run back and forth, do it until you get out.

The problem might be that no one wants to live in Winnipeg.

Think I’ll go out to Alberta
Weather’s good there in the fall
I got some friends that I can go to workin’ for
Still I wish you’d change your mind
If I asked you one more time
But we’ve been through that a hundred times or more

Years ago my brother was head of food and beverage at the Hyatt here and one night his head server came to get an ok because “two sort of homeless looking guys” ordered a very expensive bottle of booze.

My brother took a look and laughed his ass off.

It was Neil Young with Bruce Springsteen.
