Dear Friends and Partners,
I write our newsletters a few days early in the hopes to have them out to you in time. Thus, we’re a few days before Halloween and I thought I’d repost some scary house stories.
10 Horrifyingly True Real Estate Stories from Curbed Readers,
Michelle Goldchain, originally published January 7, 2015.
"Last Halloween, we published three horrifyingly true stories from real estate agents. Despite raccoon carcasses and a naked woman, many of our readers found the stories to not be horrifying enough. Because of this, many decided to supply their own stories, definitely one-upping the ones we had. We compiled the 10 best stories from our readers, unedited and untampered with. We're unsure of just how "true" these stories are, but if you're looking for spooky stories to read at night, then these should help keep you up. If you think you can one-up these stories as well, feel free to add your own experiences in the comments. Read them all here …"
If those aren't scary enough try these:

Gary Lamphier: RMS Builders still among Canada’s fastest growing companies
By Gary Lamphier Edmonton Journal, October 28th., 2016
A year ago, RMS Builders joined a star-studded cast of promising junior firms when it was named the fastest-growing builder and the second fastest growing company in Canada.
The honour was bestowed on the low-profile, Edmonton-based general contractor and real estate developer by Canadian Business magazine in its annual Profit 500 rankings.
RMS earned the spotlight by generating 2014 revenues of more than $30 million, up an eye-popping 15,000 per cent over the previous five-year period. RMS has built its business one small step at a time, on bread-and-butter projects such as suburban hotels and car dealerships.

Gary Lamphier: Tepid economic growth to slow even further, says Bank of Canada
By Gary Lamphier, Edmonton Journal, October 19th, 2016
Although he’s more folksy and plain spoken than his predecessor, Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz doesn’t exactly peel the paint off the walls when describing the feeble state of the economy.
Like any central banker, Poloz speaks in code, doling out highly nuanced, carefully worded tidbits on manufacturing, housing, exports, investment and other key aspects of Canada’s $2-trillion economy.
But no matter how opaque his language, it’s hard to miss the central point of the Bank of Canada’s latest monetary policy report, delivered by Poloz Wednesday in Ottawa: Canada’s economy sucks. In fact, it sucks even more than he thought just a few months ago. GRAB THIS STORY

Opinion: Time for Alberta to invest in a new kind of energy workforce
By Kerry Oxford, Edmonton Journal, October 28th, 2016
As a mechanical engineering technologist who’s been stuck in the boom-and-bust cycles of oil and gas, I’ve come to realize that it’s time for a change. We need to create a more stable and diversified future.
My work experience has taught me that much of what the industry has been doing is both short-sighted and unnecessary. Albertans and other Canadians affected by the latest commodity bust deserve a more stable economy — and that’s within our reach.
I was born in England but have lived in Calgary most of my life. When I was laid off from my welding job in 2009, I went back to school and got a diploma in engineering technology. When I was laid off again in 2015, I decided I would rather work for myself than be reliant on the volatile fossil fuel industry. READ MORE HERE
