In contrast to Central and Eastern Canada, housing conditions in Western Canada remain very tight and are showing increased signs of speculation.

If you want to become a man of letters and perhaps write some Histories one day, you must also lie and invent tales, otherwise your History would become monotonous. But you must act with restraint. The world condemns liars who do nothing but lie, even about the most trivial things, and it rewards poets, who lie only about the greatest things.
