Marg, Charlie and Lally aren’t lying around upstairs like slugs on a ski day; they’re cleaning their brains.

And to be honest it’s looking like a very mediocre ski day.

It’s a sad state of affairs when there are more defense de fumer signs than places that I can (legally) smoke in Quebec.

I wake up this morning in Montreal

With a nice view from my room at the Sheraton, out over downtown towards the eastern townships, and the building right across the street is the CGI office.

Obama’s new favorite Canadian company. Bet there’s a horde of HHS 0bamacare project managers staying in the hotel with me.

Maybe I’ll hang in the lobby and see if I can get Kathleen Sebelius’s autograph. Should be worth something on Ebay after she resigns next month.

Happy Thanksgiving

Among other things to be grateful for family, you can be thankful you own Toronto homes that aren’t all leveraged up….bubble bubble looks like trouble.

Never heard of BCA Research who put these charts together though, so maybe the data are bad!

Italian police conduct mafia crackdown

http://aje.me/1e0Hbko \n Sent via Al Jazeera English Mobile Web \n

Insurance fraud in Italy – can you imagine.

Issuing warrants for a bunch of mob guys already in jail, based on information from mob guys already in jail, sounds like a uniquely Italian approach to cleaning up the mafia problem.

We should send Whitey Bulger over there.

Can you say bubble in Canadian?

Here according to The Economist are Canadian housing prices in real terms (adjusted for 1975 $) double what they were in 1970, compared to the US, whose bubble burst in spectacular fashion in 2008.economist housing price chart

Add slowing commodity, notably oil & oil products, demand and prices paying people who are bidding up the housing market, and hmmm…..

Who cares though when there is a Mayor who smokes crack and hangs with the gangstas, another one who uses public funds for his son’s wedding, and in Quebec, never to be outdone when it comes to malfeasance of any type, a bunch of Mayors in Montreal losing their jobs one after the other on corruption charges.
