only for those who don't own their own home and have nothing to do with construction, supplying the construction industry or selling their products to those that make a living from construction. that accounts for the vast majority of the population seeing a negative effect from such a crash, very narrow way of thinking.

Again this only about me attitude. If thr housing market crashes it's worse than bad. We will never recover.

This coming from a guy who's province won't let any resource extraction happen. While everyone sits around scratching their ass instead of going to work. Thanks Pal

Id rather be in a province that still has their resources that they can leverage for the good of the people of the province rather in a province that gifted them away to huge foreign multinationals that pay 10th of cents on the dollar and no taxes.

But hey at least it all worked out for Peter Lougheed, Don Getty And Ralphy boy (those were my wife's free stocks not mine) Klein.

Exactly! Our loonie is based on oil. When we had good times in oil our dollar increased now oil market is dead due to many countries over producing and the scare tactics used prior 2012 saying we have no oil were uncovered. Now the world is over producing and Canada's oil sector is done. Dollar is going to drop into the 60s. Let's just hope our housing market doesn't crash. Bad year ahead.

This at a time when the US is still printing trillions of dollars a year to pay its bills and is completely bankrupt with no equity at all..... Start trading oil in Canadian dollars or some other global currency and watch the USA revert to the stone age without them being able to force the world to trade on the backs of the PETRO DOLLAR STANDARD!

As for housing I really hope not. We have our home and 6 rentals.......... But I do believe their will be a huge loss of equity...... Sad thing is when it happens we will all be raped and pillaged by the government..... Homeowners will lose huge and non home owners will still have to pay to bail out the banks for hundreds of millions in not billions of dollars A LA 2009!

Lol you'd never think that this thread would turn into political debate. It's hard to believe that American dollar is what it is with their ever growing debts and printing.
Housing markets here will crash. It will never be the same folks
 
You guys are under a rock .... Trudeau promised he will fix it!! Hahaha

Still Shotty CAD is here to stay the Chinese figured out but the Canadians blame the oil when truly low CAD is the only thing keeping us afloat ... they dump their currency more times in a week than Trudeau taking selfies!!

Couldn't say it better. Government doesn't control economy, just manages our resources and help the little guys out (read: you and me) when the Canadian economy goes south for a decade (or not be able to because of previous schmucks mismanagement, as the case is right now). Nobody is going to tell me that the ndp or the liberals are to blame for the dollar and oil market ####ting the bed, and not having a good little nest egg to help us through the hard times ahead. That blame lays square in the f#&$ing face of our previous self crowned Prince. A rough year ahead indeed.

How is this debatable?

Not only are we the best price around but we offer price match on ammunition just in case a competitor lowers their price.

Also completely agreed. I just wish I had more capital laying around to blow on all the amazing deals you guys have. Still my favorite retailer in a community ripe with good people to do business with.
 
Because our dollar is a "petrodollar", our economy is almost entirely dependent on the price of oil. Our fate is essentially in Saudi hands. If( and I think it inevitable) our housing market crashes, we are in for a bad recession. I think the previous gov't was extremely short sighted to think you could safely run an entire country on the resources of one province, especially in such a volatile world climate. I am a conservative btw. I only hope when the chit hits the fan this time, gov't bails out the people rather than the banks. CA, I'm sure your 2016 prices will still be quite reasonable .
 
Oil economy, yes, but moreover a resources economy, forestry, mining fishing, and previously manufacturing, mostly automotive! All natural resources that could produce ok paying jobs if we used them to make finished products, including oil, but everyone was getting the big bucks just pulling oil and minerals etc. out of the ground and shipping it out! That made the wage structure such that you couldn't get enough workers at a fair wage to do the factory thing, so ship the raw materials somewhere else, now those jobs would be our saviour in what is about to happen! And yes, Justine giving away over 4 billion dollars without 1 Canadian job being created ain't helping matters! The next 4 years will be devastating!
 
Thats not the definition of a petrodollar. The us currency is called a petrodollar because its required to be used when purchasing or selling oil on the global market. This creates demand for the dollar and requires countries to hold large quantities of it for such purchases.

CAD is not a petrodollar because its not needed for oil purchases, nor are people holding large quantities of it.

Im not even gonna go into the whole "USAs last 30 years of conflicts were all because of threats on Petrodollar" rabbit hole.

As much as we ##### about Alberta and the single minded economy i didnt see Liberals in Ontario do anything but continue to slaughter Ontario manufacturing sector.

We need to face the facts, were more and more service based industry, selling and servicing products manufactures elsewhere as we keep shipping our currency to other countries and bring in debt.

The ONLY reason US is doing well is the world reserve currency and petrodollar status. ALAS we tried playing "follow the Joneses" like Soviets during the Cold war and the rest of first world countries did in the last 30 years. Massive debt and deficits that will haunt our ####ing grandchildren.

Hey, look on the bright side, if you're one of those guys waiting for our housing to crash so you can buy a home, prime time! Other than you wont be able to afford the mortgage once the interest rates start rising.

Also, Albertas kijiji should be flooded with cheap and repossessed toys! Another bonus!
