Quote of the night!
โYou canโt build a provincial economy on whale watching and coffee shops.โ
We need to be a province that builds, makes and creates. We need a provincial industrial strategy and we need to get serious about the loss of industrial land to real estate speculation.
Once industrial land is converted to other uses, it is extraordinarily difficult, if not impossible, to get it back. And without that land, where exactly do we expect the next generation of manufacturers, skilled tradespeople and industrial employers to go?
This is one of the most consequential challenges we face in British Columbia, with a lot of damage already done. I hope the new government makes it an urgent priority.

We need to encourage business investment, not scare them away with higher taxes. Successful businesses provide jobs and contribute to the economy
Why are successful business owners being vilified in BC? Shouldn't entrepreneurship be celebrated?

When investing in real estate, we tend to focus on the pennies we lose and not on growth. Look at the long term!

Unless you're buying to live in, no one else. Prices have come down, but the math still ain't mathing for investors
RBC reports that condos have returned to pre-pandemic affordability. 1) Great, but they're still not affordable, and 2) Who's still buying condos?

I hope they continue negotiating. If this goes through, costs will rise on both sides of the border
With the failed negotiations, Canada will match the US dollar for dollar on tariffs. This can't be good for everybody!

Good idea to get a rate hold since bond yields have been rising the last few weeks
With fixed rates rising, it's a good idea to get a rate hold now. Contact your mortgage professional!
