Back where I want to be. via Lectio.ca February 9th, 2010 at 02:22

image I had a couple of nice days' wandering this weekend, but by last night, I was ready to get myself to the Banff Centre and get to work. Jim sent the Banffmobile to come and get me, and I got myself settled, got myself a sandwich, and got to work. I've got a great room here. I think it might be the room I had when I first came here - the view is vaguely familiar, and I seem to recall being on the fourth floor.The Kinnear Centre is really shaping up, too - still a lot of construction, but the mud and muck from September is gone, and it's beginning to look like a finished building. This is my eighth residency here. Still can't quite believe that. I'm only here for the week, and I think this will be a 'pour it on' residency. I'm working to finish a collection of short stories, and I'd like to...

Lieutenant Governor of Ontario David Onley Hon Sheila Copps P.C.I attended the annual Accession day luncheon to honour the 58th anniversary of the reign of Our Sovereign Lady.It was a lovely luncheon .

Still a seller’s real estate market via Toronto Real Estate Blog February 8th, 2010 at 22:26

but it's not a bubble economists say Canada's housing market is on the rebound after a decline in 2009 with resales expected to set a new annual record this year and home building is off to a strong start, according to two reports Monday. There in't a bubble because of a lack of speculation in the real estate market, said Scotiabank senior economist Adrienne Warren. Prices are being driven by more buyers than sellers, not unexpected with a tight supply, and buyers may be overpaying a little in some markets, she said. "We don't think there's a bubble," she said from Toronto. The Canadian Real Estate Association is forecasting resales for homes will set a record in 2010, largely driven by activity in the first six months of this year. The resale housing market is expected to reach...

A new coalition partner via Dr Roy's Thoughts February 8th, 2010 at 21:12

It seems the marxist dictator hugo chavez thinks Canad is run by an ultra right wing govrnment. I guess he is now in coalition talks with iffy and jack.The bolivarian revolution is receding throughout Latin America and Venezuela is an economic basket case. iffy and jack must be so proud of their new ally who also insults HM Forces ."I am talking of a Canada governed by an ultraright that closed its Parliament for various months to [evade] an investigation over the violation of human rights -- I am talking about torture and assassinations -- by its soldiers in Afghanistan," Mr. Chaderton said.The allegations over Canadian soldiers' handling of detainees in Afghanistan have actually focused on whether Canadian troops handed prisoners over to Afghan authorities despite knowing the...

Speaking at Internet Marketing Conference in Montreal on February 18 via Instigator Blog February 8th, 2010 at 19:54

image On February 18th, 2010 I’ll be speaking at Internet Marketing Conference in Montreal. My talk is at the end of the day. I’ll be expanding on my previous presentation on social media and inbound recruiting. Actually, since I know that the speakers before me will spend a good chunk of their time focused on social media marketing to drive sales, brand awareness and customer service, I can probably get on stage and say, “Do what they said, but for recruiting people. Thank you.” Maybe I’ll toss in a few examples too. The Internet Marketing Conference (IMC) is a 2-day event. On February 17th they do a full day of training. The conference day with speakers is on the 18th. Please note: IMC does cost money ($395 for the conference, $295 for the training, with a...

Competition Bureau vs. CREA via Toronto Real Estate Blog February 8th, 2010 at 18:34

Federal watchdog challenges real estate MLS rules. The Canadian Competition Bureau says it’s challenging rules imposed by the Canadian Real Estate Association, a body that represents more than 98,000 real-estate brokers, agents and salespeople. The federal agency says the CREA rules limit choices for consumers and force them to pay for services they don’t want, also stifling innovation in the market for residential real estate services. CREA represents more than 98,000 real-estate brokers, agents and salespeople operating through more than 100 local boards and associations. The Competition Bureau is challenging CREA rules imposed on agents who list properties on the association’s Multiple Listing Service, also known as MLS. The agency says most real estate transactions in...

Yup, They All Needed a Feinting Couch Over This… via The Nexus of Assholery February 8th, 2010 at 18:43

Although some petulant cry-babies would likely beg to differ, Hunter at Climbing Out of the Dark got the Tim Tebow Superbowl ad unequivocally right.The sheer scope of the whining that preceded the Tim Tebow anti-abortion ad during the Super Bowl would have had a great many people expecting something truly virulent.Instead, what was delivered was an entirely benign and civil ad in which Tebow's mother Pam recounted the challenges she faced during her pregnancy."I can remember so many times when I almost lost him," she said. "It was so hard. You know, with everything our family's been through, you have to be tough."At which point Pam is suddenly tackled to the ground by her son, whom she admonishes."Timmy! I'm trying to tell our story, here."At which point Tebow apologizes and hugs his...

Day Tripping: Squamish via Vancouver Blog Miss 604 by Rebecca Bollwitt February 8th, 2010 at 17:37

image Copyright © 2010 Miss604. Visit the original article at http://www.miss604.com/2010/02/day-tripping-squamish.html.It’s been ages since I updated my Day Tripping series and thanks to our trek up to Squamish yesterday I can revive it with a worthy entry. Half way between Whistler and Vancouver lies the historic town of Squamish, BC. Known for its Sea to Sky proximity, windsurfing, The Chief, and its namesake the Squamish First Nation Squamish is a great day-trip destination for those in the Metro Vancouver area. Starting off the day we picked up Dave and his wife, then headed past Squamish and up to Whistler to pick up my pass from the Whistler Media House. I’ll be doing some Olympics coverage from the Village later this month so it was ideal to make the trek now, before...
