The case for buying a pre-construction home Feb 16th
My wife and I bid on, and lost, nine houses before we got our 10th. I remember the day in March 2016 when the listing popped up on Realtor.ca, the online directory of homes for sale, which had become one of the “frequently visited” websites on our computer. The house ticked off all the boxes, an.... More »

Spain’s PM denies Greek counterpart’s claim that Spain, Portugal are out to “overthrow” govt
– canadianbusiness.com
MADRID – Spain’s prime minister has responded angrily to his Greek counterpart’s claim that Spain and Portugal have formed “an axis of forces” trying to overthrow Greece’s government.
Speaking Sunday in Andalusia, Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said neither Spain nor Portugal were “responsible for the frustration” that Greece’s new government led by the Syriza party had generated.
Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras had singled out the Iberian countries as “aggressive European conservative forces” whose plan was “the wear and tear of our government” and its overthrow.
Rajoy countered by saying that Syriza had “promised the Greeks something they knew that they would not be able to deliver.”
Rajoy also said that Spain, despite its own financial crisis, had aided Greece to the tune of “more than 26 billion euros ($29 billion).”

Medical marijuana industry competes for scarce investment dollars
– canadianbusiness.com
VANCOUVER – The free-for-all era of Canada’s commercial medical marijuana industry is over as a new crop of growers try to woo scarce investment dollars in an increasingly competitive business, observers say.
Boris Ziger, CEO of Matica Enterprises Inc., said the short-lived days of unbridled growth ended soon after last year’s change in federal regulations that shifted medical-marijuana production to commercial enterprises from patients growing their own pot.
He said the stock market went “absolutely crazy” in the spring of 2014 as various companies began branding themselves as pot producers in hopes of cashing in on what was really “irrational exuberance you hear about in business school.”
“It’s become much less Wild West-y,” said Ziger, of the Toronto-based investment firm that has sunk millions of dollars into aspiring medical marijuana producer THC Dispensaries Canada Ltd., in Nova Scotia.
All the exuberance at the beginning of the rush had Canada’s security regulators warning investors about buying into medical marijuana companies over lack of disclosure and the general frenzy in the market…
