Dear Thomas, I read your Cushman & Wakefield Edmonton report inside out and I really like the indepth knowledge they have in the Edmonton market. Who do you contact as a Realtor in Edmonton? Do you recommend someone from Cushman & Wakefield? Shirley

Dear Dave, Are you saying that we should stop looking at Ontario properties at the moment? Guess we are in the "winter" season according to Don's. What is happening in Ontario is frustrating, hugh land transfer tax, HTS, and now the licensing. I think the Ontario government is trying to...
