Canary In The Coal Mine

The current trad spat seems to be diverting the attention of Canadians from a big glitch in the Canadian economy: the sagging real estate market. In this short podcast, Ron Butler details the serious financial trouble that a Toronto condo flipper now finds herself in. The question is: how many more are out there who are just like her? We’ll find out soon enough.

“…at the end of all this figuring out the mortgage solution for these two units her question was then: ‘What am I going to do with the other eight?'”

Crash On The Potomac

I watched this news unfold last night, and now that more details are available, there are lots of questions.

A PSA Airlines plane operating an American Airlines flight collided with an Army Black Hawk helicopter near Washington, D.C.’s Ronald Reagan National Airport on Wednesday evening. After generating a large fireball over the Potomac River, the remains of both aircraft dropped into the frigid waters.

As authorities do not expect to find any survivors amid the ice and debris, rescue efforts have given way to recovery efforts.

The Federal Aviation Administration, which has launched a joint investigation into the deadly incident with the National Transportation Safety Board, confirmed that American Eagle Flight 5342 en route from Wichita, Kansas, a PSA Airlines Bombardier CRJ700 regional jet, collided midair with a Sikorsky H-60 helicopter while on approach to runway 33 at the airport just before 8:50 p.m. local time.

There were 60 passengers and four crew members on board Flight 5342. Three service members were aboard the helicopter, which the Pentagon indicated was out of Ford Belvoir, Virginia. […]

U.S. Figure Skating told the Post that several members of its skating community were aboard the commercial airliner when it crashed. The likely victims, including athletes, coaches, and family members, were on their way home from the National Development Camp held in Wichita in conjunction with the U.S. Figure Skating Championships.

Via Scott Adams, a a Blackhawk helicopter crew chief and flight instructor provides important context.

If you fight hard enough, and long enough, you might win

Shocking and refreshing, say Estevan mayor and RM reeve about coal-fired power’s possible revival.

The Estevan mayor and RM of Estevan reeve talk about what this means for the community, and are thankful the Saskatchewan government had the spine to take this action.

Six years ago, Jason LeBlanc, now the reeve of the RM of Estevan, was part of a protest convoy to Ottawa. It was protesting the government’s energy policies, including that on coal. He gave a speech in the snow, because police wouldn’t allow them on the broad, cleared sidewalks. This was about six weeks after he went toe-to-toe with Trudeau at a townhall in Regina.

Apparently, sometimes if you fight hard enough, and long enough, you might win

And the mayor, Tony Sernick, has been fighting for years to “save the bass,” because people tend to care more about critters, like fish, than they do jobs for people.

Also, here’s the statement from the Estevan Chamber of commerce.

Oh, and this was just posted on all Premier Scott Moe’s social media:

And on Friday at 1 p.m. Bronwyn Eyre and I will be talking to Minister Jeremy Harrison on the Pipeline Online Podcast, digging even deeper into this enormous story.

The Peril of “Professional Tenants”

Being a landlord in Ottawa these days is often not enjoyable:

“I can’t believe this was the place I used to live, this was my family home. It just smells like a zoo, even a zoo smells better,” Salter said.

The 29-year-old takes in the damage she says was caused by her previous tenants. Salter says they only paid rent for three months of their 13-month tenancy, owing her more than $35,000.

She invited CBC for a tour of the property just minutes after she got the keys back following a lengthy battle at Ontario’s Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB).

The tour revealed damaged baseboards, holes in the walls, broken lights and faucets, a clogged toilet, broken banisters and carpets covered in stains.
