I am finally back in the land of written blogs, I have been work on video blog things for the last few months and have taken a bit of a break from writing. Not that my writing was ever any good but hopefully there was some information gleaned or a fun story read here at my blog.
Anyway I just wanted to let you all know that hopefully I will be back on here on a more regular basis again. If you are curious as to what I was working you can always go check out askchris.ca to seem my Real Estate Q & A via video, feel free to leave your comments and suggestions.
Our local market place here in the lower mainland and the greater Vancouver area has picked up substantially, so much so we have had some of the best months ever. Prices are still flat, activity increased and inventory slowly going down.
Did we really hit the bottom or was it just one of those false bottoms like they theorize about? We will just have to wait and see.
Enjoy the sun and the rest of the summer it is quickly coming to a close, enjoy and if there is any real estate question you need answered feel free to go check out askchris.ca
Cheers!
That's right Abbotsford is going to be hosting the pro water ski tour again this year presented by Malibu Boats. It has been at least 8 years since the last time it has come to town and since most people that are involved in this sport want to see it grow, what better way to do that than by bringing in some professionals and making a weekend event out of it.
So that's what is going to happen. Sept 18-19, 2009 at Albert Dyck park near the airport we can expect to see the likes of Chris Parrish, Jamie Beauchesne, Will Asher, Seth Stisher, Karin Nowland, Regina Jaquess, and the list goes on, so com prepared to see some great skiing, have a lot of fun, and probably get a chance to meet and greet a lot of these great pro's that we only ever see on TV or the internet.
Come on out and support this great sport, look forward to seeing you all there, I should have my video camera there to do some vblog and such so it should be good.
Cheers!
This debate will never end and usually gets some what heated. I know how the US feels about this, I grew up there and I think a lot of how I feel about this subject matter has to do with the up bring I had in the US.
Canada abolished the Death Penalty July 14, 1976 not saying weather this was a good or bad thing. What I want to know is what you think about it.
There are arguments on both sides of the debate like acting as a deterrent, weather or not they should be publicly viewable, among other things.
There are even things written about cost effectiveness of Capital Punishment vs. Life in prison without parole.
We in Canada don't seem to ever let people serve out there life sentences, we are so happy to give them parole and let them re-offend.
The "faint hope" Clause is currently under review and looking like it will be removed finally making it much tougher for people convicted of 1st degree murder to get parole hearings and parole.
There is definitely a time and place and obviously you need to read about what criminal activities you would need to commit to get the death penalty or Life without parole before you start getting all humanitarian on us.
I am at a point where I am getting sick and tired of all the killing in our area especially when you hear about innocent people getting killed just because there job happened to take them where illegal activity was taking place next door. We have gone soft in Canada, I think with the increase in drug trade and other criminal activity we need to rise up, because if we keep bending over, it will just keep happening.
It's time for Canada to rise up and make people that can't live with in the laws of our land to pay for what they have done. So far victims and the familys have been crapped on by Canada's Criminal Code.
I am just saying, maybe it's time for a change. What do you think?
Cheers!
I was sitting around with some friends of mine the other day and one of them happens to be one of the Krause's who is part of Krause Berry Farms and we where talking about farming and so forth and something in the conversation really caught my attention and thought it would be worth while mentioning.
I am still fairly new to the idea and consept of this but since people are so into saving the planet and helping keep our local communities growing and making life sustanable this seems to be one easy step in the right direction.
The idea of eating locally or even growing your own food seems to be a hot topic in the farm community as well as with naturalist and so forth.
The idea here is that you go pick your own fruit or go to the local dairy farm and get milk or raise a couple cows with a few people and then raise your own meat and so forth.
So here is my plug for Krause Berry Farms here in Aldergrove, BC. It is one of the few U-pick sites left in the valley with most being harvested by machine. Why not do your own part to support your local farmers as well and eat locally and look at what all BC agriculture has to offer, be sure ot check out Krause Berry Farms online to see when the open and what is in season.
They are about 2-3 weeks away from opening day, it is something you won't want to miss. So get out there and pick your own fruit.
Lot's more info at http://www.krausebrothersfarms.com/ to find out the latest. Enjoy the summer.
Cheers!
