Caesars, the best-known brand in the business and now the world's largest gaming company has selected Windsor, Ontario to be the location of it's first gaming resort outside of the US. Ceasars Windsor is now the city's second largest employer with 4,000 hourly workers. Beginning today, Windsor and it's Casino will be recognized not as just another city/casino...but ONE OF THE BEST IN THE WORLD !!!

Windsor has had a rough go of things. Unemployment is at an all time high, jobs are leaving our city by the busloads, property values are dropping and moral among the people is very low. It's hard to envision how this is going to work in our "depressed" city. Ceasars Windsor is on a scale never seen this side of Toronto ! It puts Windsor right up at the top of the map, next to Toronto and Ottawa.

We are going to have thousands of convention delegates and theatre patrons in our city !

Opportunity is staring us in the face !!! Windsorites should be proud and prepared to reap the benefits !!!

Here's wishing Ceasars Windsor all the success in the World !!!

Who wouldn't want a tax refund?

Who wouldn't want to be exempt from paying taxes?

Here are 2 circumstances in which you may qualify for either a refund or an exemption. First, if you are planning to purchase either a new or used bicycle on or before December 31, 2010, you will recieve a retail sales tax exemption AT THE POINT OF SALE. No forms, no applications to be bothered with. Not only will this sales tax exemption apply to bicycles but also to:

• bicycle helmets
• reflectors for bicycles
• bicycle lights (including generators, battery operated lights)
• bells and horns for bicycles
• mirrors for bicycles.

Secondly, if you are a first time home buyer of a resale home, you will now be entitled to a land transfer tax refund of up to $2000.

In the 2007 Ontario Economic Outlook and Fiscal Review, the government proposed to expand the Land Transfer Tax Refund Program to include first-time homebuyers of resale homes for agreements of purchase and sale entered into after December 13, 2007. This measure was included in Bill 44, Budget Measures and Interim Appropriation Act, 2008, and, having received Royal Assent on May 14, 2008, is now law.

As a result of this change, first-time homebuyers of resale homes may now be able to receive a refund from the provincial government of up to $2,000 of the land transfer tax paid.

Requirements to qualify for a refund

• The purchaser must be at least 18 years of age.
• Applications for a refund must be made within 18 months after the date of conveyance or disposition.
• The purchaser must occupy the home as his or her principal residence within 9 months of the date of the conveyance or disposition.
• The purchaser cannot have previously owned a home or had any ownership interest in a home, anywhere in the world.

A spouse of the purchaser cannot have owned a home or had any ownership interest in a home, anywhere in the world while he or she was the purchaser's spouse.

Resale to Cool in 2008

The resale home market in Windsor-Essex, which peaked in 2005, will continue to slow in 2008 and
2009. Sales through the Windsor-Essex Real Estate Board will soften a further three per cent to
4,850 units. Historically low mortgage rates and lower prices will keep the resale market from falling
further. The Windsor CMA is considered one of the more affordable homeownership markets in any
major metropolitan market in southern Ontario. The ratio of required income needed to carry the
mortgage on an average priced home to actual household income received on average by
homeowners in the Windsor CMA is well below that of neighboring communities.
