Canadian Real GDP Growth - October 31, 2011

The Canadian economy expanded 0.3 per cent in August following an upwardly revised 0.4 per cent gain in July. Economic growth was led by a 2.8 per cent increase in output in the energy sector as projects re-started from temporary shutdowns in the summer. Excluding the energy sector, monthly GDP growth was flat.

Through the first two months of the third quarter the Canadian economy is growing at about a 2.0 per cent rate – an improvement from the recession fears of the summer, but far from robust. We anticipate the economy will continue to grow at about a 1.5 to 2.0 per cent rate for the second half of the year. Slower than potential economic growth will put moderate downward pressure on inflation and keep the Bank of Canada in a holding pattern.

We have listed a new property at 666 Dark Hollow in North Vancouver.
An unlovely little fixer upper for those of you with nerves of steel. Located on a dead end street with a fenced unkept yard (former grave yard with deadly vine plantings and poison ivy) . The rooms are large but fairly dark and dingy with creaky hardwood floors. There are several cold spots due to the lack or heat or light and many of the windows need replacing. Unfortunately there's no plumbing but there is a shallow well on the property for water and the remains of an outhouse. Features include: dragging chains, wierd noises, odd and ghostly visitors.
A must see, if you dare!
