Alberta #1 in Population Growth
2009-10-13 23:38:00 Even in a recession Alberta is still more attractive than the rest of Canada. The province's population growth has lead the country between April and June. The reason is compared to the rest of Canada where unemployment rates are in the high nines Alberta still has a lot to offer with rates in the mid sevens.Population growth is always a good thing, it increases housing prices, retail sales and when the economy picks up again a willing labour force. It can put a strain on the infrastructure but overall the effects are positive.
Alberta Cross ? Broken Side of Time [Album Review]
2009-09-17 16:00:00 Sweet Jesus, I feel like I have been waiting forever for this album. It was two years ago that we were introduced to Alberta Cross through their wonderful EP The Thief & The Heartbreaker. I heard it and was convinced that they were going to be the next big thing. Then they went missing. The ...
Real Estate Prices Stabilizing in Alberta
2009-09-15 03:10:00 "The difference in the resale housing market now, compared to the beginning of the year, is night and day and nowhere is this more evident than in the West," said Dale Ripplinger, association president."Homebuyers recognize that interest rates and prices have bottomed out, and are taking advantage of excellent affordability before prices and interest rates move higher."A five-year fixed-rate mortgage, the most popular among consumers, is still available for less than four per cent at some financial institutions.Variable-rate mortgages, tied to prime, remain at about three per cent and are not expected to rise until June. The Bank of Canada has pledged not to change its lending rate until then -- but it is not an ironclad guarantee.The low rates seem to have worked and have the market even hotter than in 2007, a record year. July sales in 2009 were 3.9 per cent above the previous July high set in 2007.It has been a stunning reversal for a real estate market that had almost ground to ...

DELIZIE CULINARIE DELL?ALBERTA
2009-07-24 08:40:00 Il meritato pasto del cowboy non si riduce a fagioli e gallette. Pancake a colazione, succulente costine di maiale o una costata del miglior manzo del mondo, cotte alle brace, sono un menů assai piů invitante! Qualche esempio:Al Buzzards Cowboy Cuisine di Calgary http://www.cowboycuisine.com/ di Calgary si servono piatti come al tempo dei pionieri, adattati ovviamente ai gusti attuali. Da provare le ?Prairie Oysters? (...ostriche di prateria) nel periodo del Testicle Festival, nel periodo che va piů o meno da giugno fino a quando le mandrie tornano a casa all?inizio di agosto! Gustate anche la terrina casalinga di bisonte con pancake di riso selvaggio e salsa di mirtilli. Da notare che oltre al bisonte, anche l?alce e la cacciagione serviti in tutta la provincia provengono da allevamenti.Le Montagne Rocciose dell?Alberta ospitano numerosissimi lodge, confortevoli e raffinati; tra questi il Buffalo Mountain Lodge a Banff http://www.crmr.com/buffalo-mou-ntain-lodge.php oppure il Deer...

Back to Lethbridge, and Winter in Alberta
2009-01-11 04:04:00 We left Lethbridge in a week when it was -40, so we really appreciated Hawaii. Unfortunately, the return home was correspondingly traumatic. We went from this:Sunset at our condo on Mauito this:Our patio furniture in LethbridgeBut we quickly discovered that there is no sympathy available for "jet lag climate syndrome". "You had two weeks in Hawaii?! We were stuck here in 40 below and 3 feet of snow the whole time! I had to shovel for three hours to clear my driveway, and I still couldn't go anywhere because the streets weren't plowed." And so on. One of the worst winters in Lethbridge in a long time...so a good time for us to have been gone.But we've discovered that our kids don't really understand cold. In my generation (I'm old, so think two generations ago), kids walked to school. (Okay, okay, I lived across the street from my school, but other kids walked up to 15 blocks to school). Today, we drive our kids to school, even though Tigana's school is only two blocks away. A...

Alberta Goes 10-Digit Dialing - Are You Ready?
2008-06-24 19:04:00 Yesterday Albertans were reminded that the switch to 10-digit dialing is fast approaching. It was back in 2004 when the CRTC (Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission) brought to our attention that we were running out of available phone numbers under the 403 and 780 area codes, and as a result of Alberta’s rapid population growth in the last few years the province is having to implement a third area code (587). Any new numbers in Alberta will now be given the 587 area code, regardless of where in Alberta you reside. Starting yesterday, Albertans were receiving a prerecorded reminder when making local calls that said: The local number you’ve dialed, must be preceded by its area code. Your call will now proceed. For future calls to this number, please dial the area code. This recording is simply a message to remind us that we should be taking the necessary steps, now, to reprogram our cell phones and phone systems, prior to the mandatory 10-digital diali...

Beige platform sandals by Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti
2008-05-06 11:59:00 Beige platform sandals by Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti I’m really enjoying the popular trend for sandals like these ones, that are high and strappy, but attending none of the “girliness” normally associated attending high, strappy sandals! They’re by Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti, and doesn’t that beige leather look gorgeous? The grossgrain straps help toughen them up just a little, and I cogitate they’d be the perfect way to equilibrium abroad a floaty summer adjust. They’re ÂŁ240 at My-Wardrobe, who point abroad that the little sporty look will make it easy to bear these during the daytime like well like in the evening.

Oh Look, Someone Else Discovered Alberta!
2008-04-22 15:13:00 This great nugget is from www.marketwatch.com:"A boom of unprecedented dimensions is sweeping Canada's spectacularly scenic western province of Alberta, the Texas-sized territory with a population of 3 million that is home to a pair of world-class cities -- Calgary (population 1.2 million) and Edmonton (population 1.1 million)." Marshall Loeb, Market WatchIt doesn't matter what the Edmonton property market does in the short term because all the international investors who are coming to Alberta, Canada are looking at the long-term. That is how the "strong hands" do it. For more information on Alberta Oilsands click hereBut I leave you with this:"Canada has rather rapidly become the largest supplier of oil to the U.S. Alberta is producing more than 1 million barrels of so-called synthetic oil a day, and the province is sitting atop the largest petroleum deposit outside the Arabian Peninsula (as much as 300 billion recoverable barrels). As a result, the economy of A...

Alberta Ferretti lace up wedge sandals with contrast piping
2008-04-17 13:45:00 Alberta Ferretti lace up wedge sandals with contrast piping Attempts to add high heels to casual, canvas shoes don't always go down too well - there's something just wrong about seeing what is essentially a sneaker with a huge wedge stuck to the bottom of it, so I was surprised to find myself not quite hating these ones by Alberta Ferrretti. No, I don't think I'd be willing to pay $575 for pair (In fact, I can't imagine parting with that sum of money for anything made out of canvas), but I do think they could look rather good, in a casual kind of way - one someone else, natch. If you agree, and you have just the sporty/preppy outfit to go with them, you'll find them at eLuxury.

Alberta Closed For Renovations
2008-04-01 01:33:00 As youâve probably already heard, the Alberta provincial government announced last Wednesday that the province would be shutting down its borders for the next 18 months beginning April 2nd 2008.The announcement was made after repeated complaints by citizens that the economy was growing too fast, salaries increasing too rapidly (along with housing values) and that the higher demand for oil was contributing to a sense of âoverwhelmâ in the province of 3.48 million people.The government reacted after receiving requests such as these from its Eastern neighbors, from Newfoundland Irene Casey said â Itâs been nearly 12 days since Iâve seen by husband Tim and our son Ryanâ. The two set off to work in the manufacturing supplies center NE of Edmonton. They arenât due back for another 3 days, but Mrs. Casey is feeling nervous after receiving a telephone message from husband Tim.âDonât bother boiling any âtaters for Ryan and me.

"Is the Alberta Boom set to Bust?"
2008-03-22 01:05:00 Good question if you think in a Boom and Bust mentality...This is a reply to "Is Edmonton Real Estate Too Hot?"In reality what you have happening in the province of Alberta, specifically Edmonton, Calgary and Red Deer cities is a healthy slow down in the market. It's not a Boom and Bust. It's not a 'Too Hot', in fact it has slowed enough to become a buyer's market- opening up the market for the first time in the past 2 years.When a market is firing on all cylinders it has growth stages and moderating stages where it absorbs the outflow of energy produced. It's a self-regulating safety valve so that the economy doesn't get overheated.As a sophisticated investor you don't want to target a market that is doing double digits year after year... you want to target a market that has a diverse, multi-tiered economy that is set to grow year after year.Too many novice investors (read: Speculators) chase the percentages. They look for the next 'Big Town' that is going to BOOM. When i...

Alberta Elderly Left To Die
2008-03-11 12:00:00 OTTAWA, ONTARIO-"The president of NUPGE, the National Union of Public & General Employees, accused the Alberta government today of systematically stripping the elderly of their rights.""Most of these assisted living facilities are unlicensed, unregulated and unmonitored. It means the elderly are left essentially on their own. It's simply unacceptable that in this day and age in a country as rich, in a province as rich as Alberta, we can't do more for them."Clancy says the change in legislation began 30 years ago and has left the elderly without the protection afforded most Canadians. Ruth Adria, president of the Elder Advocates of Alberta Society, says there is extreme pressure placed on the guardians of the elderly to sign non-resuscitation consent forms when the elderly are admitted."As a result when an elderly person becomes ill, particularly in a locked unit where there's often little or virtually no staff, the elderly person is often just left to die and there's no inte...

Alberta Hunter Videos
2008-03-09 06:11:00 YouTube has a few cool videos of Alberta Hunter. Most of them when she is older. I like "Nobody Knows The Way I Feel This Morning" because her voice is more powerful and colorful then in some of the other videos. But having said that, you have to watch this first one, which can not be embedded. It shows what a powerful force she was.Alberta Hunter performing "My Castles Rockin" (DVD Preview)If she could sing like that at 82, then imagine her in her prime. This next one is kind of funny.

Last of the Wild and Free Alberta Assumables ?
2008-03-08 02:39:00 In Alberta we've been blessed for a longtime time with being able to assume properties without qualifying for the mortgage.For the past two years I've seen banks gradually tighten up their lending policies and require buyers to qualify for some assumable mortgages. In essence where we take over the existing mortgage, but still need to prove our repayment ability and that our credit is in good shape.Last June TD announced that they would cease allowing their mortgages to be assumed, and they have. A few other lenders followed suit; Rezmor and Scotia bank for example.February 26th 2008, RBC joined up stating that they too would require full qualifying.I have successfully used Agreement Of Sales in Alberta and Ontario when the market is favorable. Of course, there are many unique strategies to use as well as, rent-to-own and agreement of sale to name a couple. If you currently have deals tied up with RBC that are assumable, I believe that they will still honor them if they came in wi...
Alberta Oils Sands Land
2008-03-07 22:56:00 Did you hear about the hottest new vacation destination? It's Alberta Oil Sands Land, with a travel review by Thomas King:Personally, I was more interested in the Ralph Klein Earth Mover rides, but the lines were always much too long. In the end, I spent most of my time at the Waste Water Park, watching happy families relaxing and enjoying their tax dollars in action.But the best part of the entire vacation was watching the sun set each evening on what was left of the Athabasca River. Mr. Harper would strum his guitar and tell us how his heart swelled when he looked out over the landscape and saw the sheer beauty that human ingenuity and corporate genius could create. Even Mr. Dion got a little teary as we all watched the smoke stacks discharge their billows of pollutants. He said that the soft clouds floating over the high prairies reminded him of the old days when Native people sat around their council fires and told stories about living in harmony with the earth.
