Letter writer Jake Letkemann wonders if the kidnapping of Israeli soldiers is retaliation for earlier Israeli injustice and aggression. Well let's see: Israel leaves Gaza. Every trace of Israeli occupation is removed, including soldiers, citizens, settlements and installations. So how do Palestinians respond to their newly found autonomy? By building schools, road and hospitals? No, it's obvious that Israel leaving Gaza is an act of injustice and aggression. How does one answer such an injustice? How does one meet such aggression? Tellingly, Letkemann refers to Israel's military actions against Hamas and Hezbollah as "attacks on Gaza and Lebanon." Either Letkemann is regrettably imprecise or he is intentionally obfuscating the reality that Palestinians and Lebanese are saddled with fas...

By referencing the same items in the second fiscal quarter (Q2) of 2001 and by using the volume from 2000, staff extended the prices for each item again for comparison. Depending upon the contract terms and other factors, some prices increased, some decreased, and some remained the same. The total cost for the same basket of goods for Q2 2001 was $1,047,742.00. This was $55,000.00 (net) or ~4.9 percent less as an aggregate value and led to an index of .951 for Q2 2001. Methodology: Basic data collection was similar to the hospital case. In this case, the basket of goods was comprised mainly of industrial-based, manufactured products along with other packaged goods from a wide, cross-section of civic operations. However, external indices and cost driver information was gathered to benchm...
Because all land within Wasagaming is owned by the federal government, all commercial businesses are required to enter into land leases with Ottawa, based on land appraisal every one, two or 10 years and, in some cases, are tied to the Consumer Price Index.
Yale University economist Robert Shiller, pioneer of the widely watched Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller home price index, said there's a good chance housing prices will fall further than the 30 per cent drop in the historic depression of the 1930s. Home prices in the United States already have dropped 15 per cent since their peak in 2006, he said. Shiller's Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller home price index is considered a strong measure of home prices because it examines price changes of the same property over time, instead of calculating a median price of homes sold during the month. Basically we're in uncharted territory," Shiller said. "It seems we have developed a speculative culture about housing that never existed on a national basis before.
The time has come to change or abolish rent controls in Manitoba. Manitoba remains the only province or territory which has and enforces strict rent controls. It also remains the jurisdiction that consistently has the least investment in new multi-family buildings. In the five years between 2004 and 2008, Manitoba's allowable guideline rent increase totaled 10 per cent while CMHC reported a 17.9 per cent total increase in rents charged. This happens because a large number of landlords apply for increases above the guideline. The application is cumbersome and the fee is $150 for single family dwellings up to triplexs and $500 for larger properties. Ontario, facing a much lower CPI than Manitoba, is allowing two per cent as its 2010 guideline for occupied units. In British Columbia, the r...

I often hear people say things like, "I have never lost money on real estate," or "my house has been my best investment. American homeowners are certainly learning this lesson right now. There is an index of U.S. housing prices called the S&P/Case-Schiller Home Price Composite Index, which measures house prices in 20 U.S. cities. This index shows that house prices for the three-month period ending in April 2008 were 15.3 per cent lower than the same three-month period in 2007. With two of the largest American banks recently announcing results that were better than the analysts' predictions, it's possible they've turned a corner. However, those results are based on future predictions of housing price trends, among other things. So far, U.S. house prices show no sign of strengthening.
His achievements have not been without difficulty. While Congress welcomed him like a rock star, Governor [Bobby Jindal]'s Republican response to his plans was that the stimulus package was "irresponsible". There is much reason for fear and fear feeds on itself. Consumer confidence in the United States is at its lowest in the 42 years that it has been measured. Even as Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben Bernanke was saying that the recession "could end" this year, the U.S. home price index fell 18.2 per cent. American homes are now back to 2003 prices. In the past week, not surprisingly, North American stock indices plunged back to their November 2008 lows. Partly that's because what ends economic fear tends to be time. This recession was caused because much of the world was living beyo...
Central bankers are worried not only about prolonged recession, but are increasingly worried about the spectre of generalized deflation -- a drop in the overall price index that can create a perpetual downward spiral in consumer spending. As a consequence, central banks in all corners of the globe have cut rates deeply in recent weeks, in some cases by record amounts. Third, monetary policy works only with a lag before it becomes fully effective. The deep rate cuts of recent days have come very late in the game for many countries and regions -- well after the recession had already hit in the euro zone, for example. These rate cuts will take time to become fully effective. In Canada, the Conference Board and others estimate that monetary policy normally has a stimulus lag of 12 to 18 mon...
It was part of a broadly based trend that saw new-home prices remain flat in 11 of the 21 Canadian cities surveyed in December. Saskatoon, Calgary, Edmonton and Victoria even saw prices decline from November to December. That helped push down Canada's new housing price index by 0.1 per cent, marking the third consecutive month that prices fell nationally. It was 40 below... so during that time period it was pretty quiet," [Michael Moore] said. "But it's coming along," he said. Nobody is panicking. Nobody is holding a fire sale.
