Dear Friends and Partners,

Not only have we had warm weather lately, but we've seen a hot start to multi-family real estate in some of our key areas. How about you? What's the real estate climate like where you live? Are you seeing more listings on your street; anything worth buying? Many deals continue to trade hands before hitting the MLS, but you can still standout, like we do, and attract the right vendors to you. We can see a lot of volatility in stock markets as well as local real estate markets and that creates opportunity. I spoke with several will-be, no longer would-be, investors at the last REIN meeting I attended.  I helped them design a personal strategy to evaluate when and when not to pull the trigger. If you need help like this, send me an email with 'Will-Be Investor' in the subject line and I'll endeavor to help you too.

Alberta Bucking Economic Trends
By Gordon Isfeld, Financial Post & Edmonton Journal, February 9th 2013

For a while, it looked like Canada's job market would remain oblivious to the serious signs of a slumping economy. Ditto the housing sector, which had been defying forecasts of an impending slowdown for months.
Now, reality appears to be putting both sectors in check, at least outside of Alberta.  "Combined with the steep drop in housing starts as well as the still-wide trade deficit, the jobs report rounds out a day of infamy for Canadian economic stats," said Doug Porter, chief economist for BMO Capital Markets.  GRAB THIS STORY

Jim Prentice Advocates for Oil Pipeline Across Canada

Dawn Walton, Globe and Mail, February 9th 2013

Speaking to an economic forum on in Calgary on Saturday, Mr. Prentice, who held cabinet postings including industry and environment under the Harper Conservative government before returning to the private sector as executive vice-president and vice chairman of CIBC, said Canada has failed to execute a cohesive energy strategy.   FOLLOW THIS ARTICLE

No Alberta Oil Exported From West Coast Without Cooperation

By David Dodge and Ted Morton, Troy Media, February 9th 2013
The passing of former Alberta premier Peter Lougheed provided an occasion to remember not just his fierce defense of Alberta against the predatory policies of then prime minister Pierre Trudeau, but the substance of that defense: strong provincial rights based on the constitutional principle of equality of the provinces.

Equality of the provinces may not sound like a big deal today. But in the 1970s, it was.

To appreciate the significance of Lougheed’s achievement, it is necessary to recall the state of Canadian federalism after the Second World War. Writing in 1954, J.R. Mallory, one of English Canada’s leading constitutional scholars and a professor at McGill University, observed that “in a federal system there is assumed an equality of influence and treatment of the various individual units,” but that “[i]n Canada the facts are, and always have been, very different.”  READ MORE HERE
