回复 加拿大老张:今天的文章:
The basic difference between Canadians and Americans is that Americans have gone through a correction in their all-important housing market, and we haven't.
Morneau, being a politician, strictly avoids talking about a real estate bubble in Canadian cities.
To name it a bubble, after all, can make it real in the public mind, which in turn can burst it.The U.S. housing market shed trillions in value after the crash in 2008 — up to 60 per cent in some cities — before coming back to more realistic levels, Canada sailed on, congratulating itself, while its housing prices just kept rising.As a result, "There is way more risk in the Canadian economy than most people understand," says Garth Turner, a former MP and housing expert who writes the wryly-titled blog The Greater Fool. "And most of that risk is in housing.""The greater fool" is a maxim in the housing industry; it is the assumption that even if the price you pay for your home is foolish, a greater fool will some day pay more.
看来美国加息对加拿大冲击很大,加拿大自由党政府要对房地产泡沫动手了。只有跟美国2008年一样让房地产泡沫破,加拿大经济才会好。
