I feel most blessed to live in Vancouver on Canada's west coast. I live 6 blocks from the ocean and beach - in 15 minutes can drive to Grouse Mountain and can be skiing (that is if I was a skier) -- then drive back and ocean kayak, run around the seawall, drink lots of Starbucks coffee etc. etc. Now having said all that, there is that one tiny problem of the rain we get here -- that's why some call it the "wet" coast.<!-- X-spaminator-strike: whitelist, -3 --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: IP check --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: email check --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: author url --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: comment body --> Oh, but PEI is only one small part of Canada — a most beautiful part nonetheless.

There was a small house selling in central Toronto that was 300sq ft, it was selling for $140,000 and the bathroom was so tiny you had to go into it sideways and they pp who were bidding on it said the house/with a dirt basement was so tiny, their larger friends wouldn't be allowed to visit. Thankfully I am in Saskatchewan and you can still get quality housing for a decent price. My Dad and sis live in Vancouver and White Rock...I don't know how they do it - they both have nice homes.<!-- X-spaminator-passed: IP check --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: email check --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: author check --><!-- X-spaminator-strike: empty field - author url, 1 --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: author url --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: comment body --> That is hilarious - this could be sold in Alberta and Ontario as well.

He has a five million dollar house and a million dollar vacation condo and he expected me to sympathize that, in the reselling of that condo, he was only profiting by double what I make in a year. I have trouble empathizing.<!-- X-spaminator-strike: whitelist, -3 --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: IP check --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: email check --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: author url --><!-- X-spaminator-passed: comment body --> I used to have a regular in my restaurant who complained at length that a glut of construction near his vacation condo had tanked the resale market and that he was only going to get a ten percent bump when he sold it.
