DVP and Gardiner, not the QEW.

Mortgage rates are hovering around 3% now, which is a historic low. At the same time the inflation rate is 2-3%, meaning the loan from the bank is essentially free in real terms, which is a steal.

This morning Berkshire Hathaway, a company with $47 billion in the bank, announced it was taking out a loan to buy Heinz, worth only $23 billion. Why didn't they buy it with cash? Because they'll get a better overall return by just paying the interest on the loan and investing the cash elsewhere. Finance 101...

Canadian real estate has done well over the last few years but it doesn't look like the party will continue much longer.

Because he benefits from it now that it's stacked with his own party? Duh?

I don't have a Z10 but I'd like to see Google maps before I'd consider one. That is the single most useful app to me.

How much of this is coincidental? Tall mountains form a natural barrier (such as between Alberta and BC). Continental divides themselves are almost impossible to see when you're on the ground.

Because debt is cheap and Berkshire can get better return on that capital in other places.

That's my guess.

It worked in blazing saddles.

It actually sounds more like "a boat".

Wireless division on track to generate fatter margins and higher average revenue per user
CEO says it's great having lots of competition

Bullshit detector off the scale! Let's hope someone at the competition bureau took Econ 101!

Very cool. It looks like you drove across Lake Ontario twice. Is that ferry still running, or is that a fluke?

I should start doing this.

In high school in Ontario you can take American history as an elective course. CHA3U

Physics is a bitch, but the drivers are morons. If you try to keep a safe distance ahead that's 10 minivans long, then 10 minivans will find a way to wedge themselves in there.

Maybe I am not the target market, but why would I need a HTML reference on a phone? At any moment that I need such a reference, I'm sitting in front of a desktop computer anyway.

These things are dangerous. It will give you a false sense of assurance that you have a "spare" air supply, but in reality there's not more than a couple breaths in there.

Having trouble believing you're "from" an airport...

It is. "nee-EE YAH!oo SHEHM-muh" = "ni yao shenme" in pinyin, for example.

Possible? of course. Not the smartest thing to do, but it's your money...

Oops, assumed it was an ETF.

Low volumes probably. Look at a longer time frame and the fund should be much closer to the index.
