This is window dressing: 1. Many foreign buyers buy through a child studying in Canada or numbered company. 2. Canada’s immigration (~400,000/year) far outpaces housing completions…

Congrats to the Shopify team.

How frequently does the site update after new data is added? A few more cities have reached 100% but haven't appeared on the index page yet.

Thanks for sharing.

Countries like Canada have done exactly this, extending anti-money laundering and terrorist financing disclosure rules to BTC. http://www.coindesk.com/federal-bitcoin-law-canada/ T…

Agreed and turned off.

I'm excited to see if any of this money makes it back into the Maritime startup community. This is an area where Ottawa does extremely poorly. Very little mentorship and money made…

We all get the incoherent client/customer emails about wanting feature XYZ yesterday. It's wonderful to hear that they had users, or at least a user that loved their service and wa…

1. No more time-limited sessions. Baristas always issue you another session when you ask. 2. More explicit directions on how to get "up and running". Every vendor is different. Dis…
