It would seem interest rates will just continue to go lower. I doubt we will ever see 5% again as long as the CAD exists. It just is not possible it would decimate the ecom.
I am wondering when it only costs .5% for a loan what do you think the average house price will be?
Do you think the avg price will hit 1 mill with in the next 10 years?

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

If you get a leader in there that wants to bring value back to the CAD, they will raise interest rates.
Reagan did this in the early 80s raising interest to almost 20%. It brought a shock to the economy at first but ended with a better economy overall.

We are so dependent on the housing "market".. it would annihilate our ecom. I would even say if the housing goes below a 3% return a year things will get really bad.

Exact same thing happened in the US from 2005 to 2009. Prices did not continue to go up.
How many years have Canada's housing boom been going on?

In Alberta, house prices have gone through the roof since there is oil money everywhere.
With oil prices so low a lot of layoffs are happening. This should cause the housing bubble to burst.

Agreed. Also, the Lower Mainland and Toronto have been in bubble-mode for a long while, and perhaps may always be so. The rest of Canada - not so much. Geezer tip: If you're willing to move, you can turn a bubble-market house into a life of luxury in another part of the country. It's a one-way trip though, for the foreseeable future. Also - if you are youngish - understand inflation. Houses that my parents bought and sold for about $5k are on the market for about $500k. Houses that I bought and sold for about $50k are on the market for about $1m. Look at markets as fluid, not as fixed points. It is still a crap-shoot so relax and enjoy life, but don't whine "ain't it awful" - that's just your starting point.

Yep Calgary prices in particular should be going down quite a bit, went up a bit for a while after the floods though with some people moving away from riverside real estate to higher ground lol.

I guess not so much better as the second half of the 80s the economy did fairly well. His first years brought on a lot of economic insanity and I believe a lot of it has to do with trying to get the dollar back after the Carter years. I am not a big fan of Reagan's huge deficit spending though.
