data from last two editions of the Demographia International Housing Affordability Survey, released by the Frontier Centre, the median house price in Regina increased by $22,000 between the third quarter of 2011 and the third quarter of 2012. The increase in Saskatoon was $8500. According to the survey, this puts Saskatoon into seriously unaffordable territory, and Regina is on the cusp of entering that category. While there are plenty of factors involved, and it would be difficult to impossible to isolate the effect of the credit, there isn’t any good reason to believe that the effect would be any different than it was in the United States. The Canadian Housing and Mortage Corporation cited the credit as a factor in high housing prices in their Housing Market OutlookSynopsis

Written with the style of a great novelist and the intrigue of a Cold War thriller, Embers of War is a landmark work that will forever change your understanding of how and why America went to war in Vietnam. Tapping newly accessible diplomatic archives in several nations, Fredrik Logevall traces the path that led two Western nations to tragically lose their way in the jungles of Southeast Asia.
