The final numbers for Canada's housing market in 2024 are in, and they've revealed some unexpected trends. Despite challenges such as high interest rates and declining housing starts, national home prices rose by 2.5% last year, bringing the average home price to $676,640. Every province and territory saw price increases except for Ontario, which experienced a modest 1.7% decline. The Northwest Territories led the nation with a remarkable 34.8% price increase, followed by New Brunswick at 15.5% and the Yukon at 12.8%. British Columbia also performed well, with home prices rising by 5.9%, while Alberta saw solid growth of 9.4%.Ontario's slight decline, however, masks significant issues in the pre-construction condo market, particularly in Toronto, where sales hit a 28-year low in 2024. Newly constructed condos flooded the market, driving prices down by 10-15% or more in some cases as sellers undercut each other. Yet, when viewed at the provincial level, Ontario's overall housing market showed resilience, with a decline that remains manageable by most standards.Meanwhile, inflation continues to ease, as the latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) print came in at 1.8%—the second-lowest reading in 46 months. This marks a slight decline from December's 1.9% and the 16th consecutive month of cooling mortgage interest costs, which dropped from 13.2% to 11.6%. Rent inflation also eased, falling from 7.7% to 7.1%. Inflation has now remained within the Bank of Canada's target range for 12 straight months, with the broader CPI reading excluding mortgage interest costs coming in at just 1.3%. These metrics, coupled with a strong employment report, suggest the Bank of Canada may lower interest rates at its next meeting, with markets currently pricing in a 0.25% cut that would bring the overnight rate to 3%, its lowest level since August 2022.This data reinforces the importance of understanding how hyper-local real estate markets operate. For instance, in Vancouver's Mount Pleasant East neighborhood, half duplexes reached their highest prices ever in 2024, climbing 7% above the 2022 peak. By contrast, condos in the same area are 3% below their peak prices, and detached homes are down 9%. These variations emphasize the need for precise, localized market insights when making real estate decisions.Next week we have Mr. Doug Porter, the Chief Economist for the Bank of Montreal coming back on the show to discuss how he sees the Canadian economy shaping up for 2025 _________________________________ Contact Us To Book Your Private Consultation:

After the Bank of Canada hiked interest rates at an unprecedented pace the last couple of years, there's been a lot of talk about whether we'll be tipped into a recession. Now, as rates have finally started to come down, a lot of people are struggling. Unemployment's gone up, people are accumulating debt, and despite inflation cooling, everything still seems really expensive. So, it can start to feel like we're in a recession. But most experts aren't calling it one. So what is it? BMO Financial Group's chief economist Doug Porter joins us to talk about the state of the Canadian economy and how to make sense of it.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

You might be hearing some positive-sounding headlines about Canada's economy recently. Inflation is coming down, and we've (so far) managed to avoid the recession many were predicting following the pandemic. So why do so many Canadians still feel like they're struggling to get by?In a word: productivity. The Bank of Canada has called the country's economic productivity situation an "emergency," and economists say there's a direct link between productivity and standard of living.BMO chief economist Doug Porter explains.Help us make Front Burner even better by filling out this audience survey.

GeorgiaRadio.com Continues Conversations with Local Authors: J.D. "Doug" Porter Discusses His Latest BookGEORGIA RADIO - We're thrilled to continue our series of conversations with local Georgia authors, celebrating the rich tapestry of voices that make up our literary community. This week, Matt Jolley sits down with J.D. "Doug" Porter, a retired manager of parks, zoos, and museums who has seamlessly transitioned into the literary world with his latest book, "Roaming, Rambling, and Reminiscing: Musings from a South Georgia Mule Wagon."After a remarkable forty-year career dedicated to wildlife and education, Doug retired only to find himself in an unexpected yet fitting role: a part-time mule wagon driver at a quail hunting plantation in South Georgia. This unique job, driving mules and observing hunters amid the serene pine forests, provided Doug with ample time for reflection. It was during these quiet moments, accompanied by cantankerous mules and a lively cocker spaniel, that Doug began to pen his thoughts, eventually leading to a series of newspaper articles and ultimately, his latest book."Roaming, Rambling, and Reminiscing" offers readers a profound glimpse into Doug's contemplations on a lifetime spent with the non-human animals that share our planet. His insights are both reflective and engaging, capturing the essence of his experiences from the vantage point of a mule wagon.In addition to his non-fiction work, Doug is also a talented fiction writer. His debut novel, "The Menagerie, A Zoo Story," explores the lives of animals in zoos and the complex dynamics of their care. His subsequent works, "The Dogcatcher and The Fox" and "Lessons from the Zoo, Ten Animals That Changed My Life," delve into historical fiction and memoir, respectively, each underscoring his deep connection to and passion for animal welfare.Doug's forthcoming novel promises to be another captivating exploration, this time focusing on our working animal partners such as elephants, horses, and his old friends, the mules. These animals, once indispensable for their roles in transportation, agriculture, and entertainment, faced an uncertain future with the advent of mechanization in the early 20th century. Through his storytelling, Doug aims to give these animals a voice, encouraging readers to consider the intricate relationships humans share with the creatures that depend on us."I don't pretend to know their stories," Doug says, "but I am compelled to give them a voice."Doug's fictional worlds challenge us to reflect on our complex and often contradictory relationship with animals, prompting us to think deeply about what it means to coexist on this planet. His work is a testament to the enduring bond between humans and animals, and his stories invite us to explore this connection in all its multifaceted dimensions.Doug's publications include:Roaming, Rambling, and Reminiscing: Musings from a South Georgia Mule Wagon (Non-Fiction, 2024)Lessons from the Zoo, Ten Animals That Changed My Life (Non-Fiction, Memoir, 2020)The Dogcatcher and The Fox (Historical Fiction, 2020)The Menagerie, A Zoo Story (Historical Fiction, 2012)Tune in to GeorgiaRadio.com to hear more from Doug as he shares insights from his latest book and discusses his fascinating journey from managing zoos to storytelling from a mule wagon.QUICK LINK: https://jdporterbooks.com/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/georgia-radio/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Today's Podcast: Pierre Poilievre's "axe the (carbon) tax" national campaign continues and despite BC premier David Eby not joining the majority of Canada's premiers supporting either ending the carbon tax, or at least delaying the implementation of its April 1 scheduled increase and describing Poilievre's letter to the bc premier requesting his support for the "axe the tax" initiative as something from the Pierre Poilievre "baloney factory" the CPC leader, who national polling shows continues with his national campaign. We speak with Poilievre about carbon tax, national economy (bank economists expressing deep concern), crime and justice, immigration, Melanie Joly's photo with Mahmoud Abbas and more. As well, on Monday a federal NDP motion in parliament will have MPs voting on the NDP's call for Canada's support for the establishment of a State of Palestine, as well as an end to arm shipments from Canada to Israel. Guest: Pierre Poilievre. Leader: Conservative Party of Canada For years it is said that in the aviation industry the cliche was "if it's not Boeing, I'm not going." Now it's rumoured the cliche has become "if it's Boeing, I'm not going." Boeing's terrible record of producing safe airliners over the last years again earlier this year, as well as last week was highlighted through mishaps involving 737 Max aircraft including the door plug blowing out of an Alaska Airlines 737 Max in January, a 787 Max Dreamliner which plunged without warning injuring up to 50 passengers last week, also last week a tire falling off a Boeing 757 seconds after takeoff from San Francisco airport and the nose wheel of another Boeing 757 airliner broke away while it was taxiing toward takeoff at Atlanta International Airport in January. Boeing is under FAA investigation. Last Sunday I flew from Orlando to Toronto on a 737 Max 8 and it was an uneasy experience. What is going on with Boeing? Guest: Captain Raymond Hall. Former head of the Air Canada Pilots Association and multi-decade Air Canada captain who flew Boeing airliners on major international routes.  G&M headline: More economists are getting deeply worried about Canada's future - and investors are taking notice. Earlier this month Scotiabank's head of capital markets economics Derek Holt wrote "I'm deeply worried about public policy in my country." Over last weekend BMO chief economist Doug Porter and National Bank strategist Stefane Marion joined the grim chorus.

In today's episode, we're diving deep into the world of economics and financial forecasting with none other than Doug Porter, a luminary with over three decades of experience in analyzing global economies and financial markets. As the Chief Economist at BMO Financial Group and the mastermind behind the influential publication 'Talking Points', Doug not only shapes the macroeconomic and financial market forecasts but also leads a team celebrated for its precision in forecasting, clinching the #1 spot across notable awards and surveys. From starting his illustrious career at the Bank of Canada to becoming a revered voice in economic commentary, Doug's journey is nothing short of inspirational. His insights have not only earned accolades but have also made him a sought-after commentator in the press and on air. Stay tuned as we explore the mind and motivations of the man who's been at the forefront of economic forecasting, offering a rare glimpse into the intricacies of financial markets and what it takes to lead a team to the pinnacle of success in the challenging world of economic analysis.In this episode we explore the nuances of Canada's economy and its direct impact on the real estate market. Porter, with his three decades of experience, provides a comprehensive overview of the current economic landscape, noting a significant reduction in inflation from over 8% in the summer of 2022 to around 3%. He attributes this decrease to effective monetary policies that have managed to curb inflation without precipitating a recession. Despite this success, Porter forecasts modest growth for the Canadian economy, primarily due to the lingering effects of recent interest rate hikes, projecting a modest real GDP growth.Porter also delves into the future of interest rates, suggesting potential cuts in the latter half of the year, given the downward trend in inflation and the economy's modest growth. He highlights the significant influence of mortgage interest costs on inflation, suggesting that future rate cuts could alleviate some of this pressure. On the topic of the housing market and affordability, Porter discusses the resilience of Canada's real estate market amidst high interest rates and addresses concerns about the "renewal cliff" of mortgages due for renewal in 2025 and 2026. He downplays these concerns, expressing confidence in the market's ability to adjust to these challenges.The conversation also touches on global economic factors, such as supply chain disruptions in the Red Sea, and their potential impact on inflation. Porter believes these factors will not drastically alter the inflation landscape, emphasizing that the primary drivers of inflation are now services, housing, and wages rather than goods. Looking ahead to 2024, Porter identifies opportunities in the tech sector and resource industries, particularly mining, driven by the global push towards decarbonization. He acknowledges the inherent risks and uncertainties in economic forecasting, especially in the current volatile environment, but remains optimistic about Canada's economic resilience and the potential for growth in specific sectors.The interview with Doug Porter offers invaluable insights into Canada's economic prospects and the interplay between economic policies, global factors, and the real estate market.  _________________________________ Contact Us To Book Your Private Consultation:

In a recent article, Doug Porter, Chief Economist for BMO, revealed a startling reality: rents in Canada have surged by 8.2% year over year, marking the fastest pace since 1983! Moreover, for the first time in 60 years of records, income growth has trailed behind rents by a significant margin. These figures set the stage for a profound discussion with local Property Manager and founder of Greater Vancouver Tenant and Property Managment, Keaton Bessey.Adding to the narrative, November's Report from www.Rentals.ca highlights that the annual rate of rent growth in Canada was 9.9% in October, the second-fastest increase in the past seven months. Vancouver leads the pack with astonishing average rent of $2,872 for a 1-bedroom and $3,777 for a 2-bedroom, while Burnaby closely follows, surpassing Toronto at $2,647 for a 1-bedroom and $3,341 for a 2-bedroom.Armed with these facts, we delve into a series of questions with our esteemed guest, a seasoned property manager with 13 years of experience, to unravel the mystery of how we got to this point and whether it was an inevitable outcome as soon as home home prices began their surge.We shed light on the potential impact of the current economic conditions on the rental market and with signs pointing to a slowing economy, we explore whether lower GDP output and a possible recession could be key factors affecting rental prices. Will an economic downturn slow down rent increases, or is it fundamentally a supply-related concern?On the more contentious topic of rent controls, particularly in Vancouver, where opinions are divided, Keaton provides unique insights into whether rent controls work, and if not, what alternative solutions might exist to address the soaring rents and the city's distinction of having the highest average rent in the country.We also look at rent collection under the current economic climate as it's a great indicator of where the economy lies as well as we look examples of renters breaking leases and what it means for both tenants and landlords. We also put Keaton on the spot as we ask him to peer into his crystal ball as we explore predictions on future rental rates. Will they go up or down, and what factors contribute to this projection?Finally, the conversation touches on immigration and its impact on the rental market. Despite staggering immigration numbers, we explore why many newcomers don't transact until they earn their permanent residency as well as touching on how to rent to new commers and the steps you should take as a landlord to protect yourself. _________________________________ Contact Us To Book Your Private Consultation:

My guest on the show today is Chris Tessin, Managing Partner and CIO of Acuitas Investments. As the title states, Acuitas is the largest allocator to MicroCap managers in the world - their Microcap strategy pursues its investment objective using a multi-manager process by allocating assets among one or more high confidence managers that invest in inefficient segments of the equity markets. I wanted to learn more about their MicroCap fund of funds strategy and their experience working with MicroCap managers. I've had a number of conversations with MicroCap fund managers in recent months, and in addition to the rough performance amongst MicroCap stocks, redemptions and lack of in-flows have also been a cause for concern. And what's worse, everyone and their grandparents agree, almost every quality MicroCap (and small cap) have taken haircuts across the board - now is one of the best times to dive deep on names trading at much cheaper prices. Managers need new in-flows in order to participate. This is where allocators like Acuitas enter the conversation. Chris will be doing a keynote presentation in Las Vegas on Wednesday, April 26, 2023 - if you're a MicroCap portfolio manager, investor or family office, he and his partner, Doug Porter want to meet you. Hear what Chris and I discuss, and then join us all in person in Vegas for the opportunity to network and meet with an allocator; conferences might charge up to $5000 to meet with folks like Chris and Doug - our event is complimentary to all buy-side.

Inflation was the name of the game in this weeks update and while inflation numbers remained unchanged from the month before, sitting around 6.9% - that did beat expectations as they were predicted to rise. As of last months report, Canada now has the second lowest inflation rate of any G7 nation! However, seeing that inflation pressures didn't ease last month, it paves the way for another rate hike come December 7th with most analysts predicting somewhere between a 0.25% rise to a 0.50% basis point rate hike. The good news is that comments out of the BoC are also indicating that we are nearing the end of the recent rate hike cycle. This weeks Podcast episode references the Bank of Montreal's chief economist, Doug Porter and his economic outlook for Q1 2023. We look at the current state of Canada's GDP along with BC's GDP and what direction that will take in the new year. We also have an average inflation rate prediction from BMO for 2023 which was a little surprising but none the less fairly good news. Looking across the nation, we check in with several major metros from West Coast to East Coast to see what the Housing Price Index is for the average home in those respective cities along with how far prices have deviated throughout Covid from their long term pricing trend. This was very useful in descending just how out of whack pricing got in some regions. _________________________________ Contact Us To Book Your Private Consultation:

In this Dateline classic, an atheist and a born-again preacher set out on the project of their lives, but no one thought that Satan might come a long for the ride. Keith Morrison reports. Originally aired on NBC on August 20, 2010. 

With so much money tied up in real estate, what are the consequences for Canada's economy? And for its people, if that market takes a dive? We weigh up how we got here, and what's at stake, with Armine Yalnizyan, an economist and an Atkinson Fellow on the future of workers, and Doug Porter, chief economist at the Bank of Montreal.

We're calling today's show Living Conditions, a special on Canada's real estate market, the surges driven by the pandemic, and the divide between owning your dream home, and chasing a pipe dream. We hear from Canadians trying to get a foot on the property ladder, including Toronto millennial Jenny Kim, who has just closed on her first home; and Garrett McPhee in Halifax. As the pandemic has driven people east — and driven up prices — he feels priced out of his home province. Plus, with so much money tied up in real estate, what are the consequences for Canada's economy? And for its people, if that market takes a dive? We weigh up how we got here, and what's at stake, with Armine Yalnizyan, an economist and an Atkinson Fellow on the future of workers, and Doug Porter, chief economist at the Bank of Montreal. Then, scraping together a down payment is one thing, but racialized Canadians also deal with discrimination, whether renting or buying. Jael Joseph is Black and a single mother, she tells us about what she faced trying to find a place to live, and why she eventually asked a white relative to act as her representative. Henry Yu, an associate professor at the University of British Columbia, discusses the long history of discrimination in Canadian real estate. And what kind of homes should we be building, and where? How do you make city living more affordable? We talk to Andy Yan, an urban planner and director of the City Program at Simon Fraser University, and Naama Blonder, an architect and urban planner at Smart Density, an architecture firm in Toronto. Finally, is owning your own home, a place to raise your family, now just a pipe dream for many Canadians? We put that question to federal Minister of Families, Children and Social Development Ahmed Hussen, and ask what the federal government is doing to help people struggling.

Creator of the Zoom "System" Clinics Was a traditional coach running flex and pack it in defense 2001 to 2008. Went to Dribble Drive Motion in 2008-2016 and had much success turned Baldwin Park from 2008-2012 to one of winnigest teams in the San Gabriel Valley. The 2010 Baldwin Park team was historic it went 24-5 and made it to the CIF Quarterfinals in Div 2a. During that season Coach Hart was awarded the Cif Coach of the year award, San Gabriel Valley Tribune Coach of the Year and Coached the All Star Game. That team still holds the record for most wins in a season with 24. Since becoming the Head Coach at Patriot High School in Jurupa Valley California. Coach Hart has built a strong program based upon great shooting, and stingy zone defense. In 2018-2019 the Warriors compiled a great season going 23-8 and making it to the Quarterfinals of CIF Div 4a. That was a school record for most wins in a season and the first time the team had made it that far in 10 years. This past season they followed it up with 16-12 season and had the first back to back winning season in over 8 years. During the Covid-19 pandemic Coach Hart created System Basketball Zoom Clinics with the help from system coaches: Bob Belf moderator of the run and gun yahoo group, Matt Petersen Assistant Coach of Pacific University and Roger DiCarlo Head Coach of San Marcos Girls Team.

Hey Wonderlings, I’m Angela Bowen the host of Looking Back On My Wonder Years: A Wonder Years Podcast. Let’s waste no time jumping in to this Paul/Norma focused episode in S3E21 Cocoa and Sympathy which aired on May 1, 1990. In this episode When Paul is voted "Brainiest" on this years Lisa Berlini Poll, he goes through some self esteem problems. That is until Kevin's mom tries to help Paul's confidence and in return Paul develops a crush on Kevin's mom. Time for my Flower Power Episode Rating: I’m giving it 3 out of 5 Flower Power Petals. 1. For Norma cheering Paul up after he is voted Brainiest on the Lisa Berlini Poll. She sure knows how to cheer someone up. 2. I loved seeing Jack not know how to cook a frozen pizza and then Paul gives him advice. 3. For the ending when Kevin and Norma enjoy hot chocolate and have a conversation about her. Paul telling Kevin all this stuff he didn’t know about his mom the radio commercial, the ex boyfriend she almost married etc leads Kevin to take an interest in who his mom was and is. I knocked two Flower Power Petals off for The uncomfortable close up shots of the girls playing field hockey (I noticed Winnie wasn’t among them, speaking of Winnie would Kevin have chosen her for best smile or not even included her on the list?) And for Doug Porter mentioned how this one girl shaves her legs and drooling over the thought. How does he know she shaves her legs then Paul mentions Norma and how she should go on the list for best smile which leads to Doug creepily adding how she shaves her legs too. That boy, yikes, just yikes. I want to give a sincere thank to all you listeners out there whether you listen to this podcast on Itunes or Soundcloud or any other listening platforms that you may use to hear this podcast.

Are you ready to hear about a fun father/son bonding time between Jack and Kevin Arnold? In S3E15: The Tree House which aired on February 20, 1990 Kevin and his Dad decide to build a tree house in the backyard. However, their father/son bonding is soon derailed when their work gives them a birds-eye view of an attractive female neighbor. Time For My Flower Power Episode Rating: I’m Giving This Episode 3 out of 5 Flower Power Petals 1. For this being a father son bonding episode as Kevin and Jack work together building the tree house or well, at least the floor. 2. I’ve got to give this to Doug Porter the expression on his face after getting the sex talk from his dad. Did he give it that morning before school or did it leave such a lasting impression his face froze like that, also when he said genitals I burst out laughing. 3. For the end when Norma found out Jack and Kevin’s treehouse vantage point leading into Donna their neighbor’s backyard with a clear shout of her chest. Then Norma’s cold stare at Wayne when he asks if they have any vegetables, and Norma’s side glance at Jack. Since she threw out the tomatoes Donna gave them. You know she did. I knocked two flower power petals off. 1. Because Hopson had to show his face and dirty porn mag at school. 2. Because other than the tree house nothing else was really going on outside of it, other than hearing about this supposed sex talk that never took place between Kevin and his dad. Not to mention Karen was in the scene in the very end but she had no lines. Even Wayne had a couple. My Wonderling Words of Wisdom: I know it’s uncomfortable and embarrassing for both parties but please talk to your teens about sex and STDS and protection otherwise you might find yourself becoming a grandparent before your time. Back in the day Kevin and his siblings didn’t have the resources necessary to make informed decisions about waiting and being careful. Teens today do. My Grandma stressed heavily to me that sex should be had only after marriage. That didn’t stop me from being curious at a young age. I may not have waited until marriage but at least I wanted till I was old enough and responsible enough to make a conscious decision. Here’s My Quote Of The Episode: Narrator: My father and I never had "the talk", and we never finished the tree house. I guess some things between fathers and sons are left unspoken, and unfinished. I want to give a sincere thank to all you listeners out there whether you listen to this podcast on Itunes or Soundcloud or any other listening platforms that you may use to hear this podcast. I love giving you the episode recaps of The Wonder Years every week joining me as I go into full detail as we reminisce of days gone by with Kevin and his friends Paul and Winnie, and the rest of the Arnold family. As well as giving my occasional running commentary and childhood stories. Join me later this week when I discuss S3E16: Glee Club which aired on February 27, 1990. In this episode The 8th Grade Boys Glee Club can't seem to carry a tune, but a new teacher named Miss Haycock is determined to rectify that. Have a great week everyone!

Hey there Wonderlings, How’s it going? Let’s jump right into the first of these two episodes S3E5: On The Spot which aired on November 7, 1989 in this episode Kevin joins the school play just to get out of Gym class, while Winnie and Paul seem to take it very seriously. Winnie has problems with her performance, and Kevin unexpectedly helps her during the show. I’m giving it 5 out of 5 Flower Power Petals. 1. For Norma supporting the arts and suggesting the family goes to the play. The arts are important in school. 2. For Winnie giving an amazing performance and it’s so amazing it made her father move back home 3. For Kevin although he was not being the greatest friend supporting Winnie and Paul in joining the play, he came around in the end when Winnie needed him the most. 4. For Mr. Webber the dramatic arts teacher for him not being a tyrant and helping the kids to understand their roles better and not screaming at them. He didn’t make anyone cry or run out of the room. His guidance helped the kids put on a great performance. I took off one Flower Power Petal for Paul being the demanding tyrant after Kevin gave up his cushy job as spotlight operator and Paul lording over him shouting demands. Wonderling Words of Wisdom: Encourage your friends when they try out for something new, don’t suggest they quit when it gets too hard and they want to give up. Tell them to push through it and that they’re doing a great job. S3E6: Odd Man Out that aired on November 14, 1989. In this episode When Kevin and Paul have a disagreement, they decide to find new best friends. Kevin starts hanging around with Doug Porter while Paul befriends Brady Ryland. Time for my Flower Power Episode Rating: I’m giving it 4 out of 5 Flower Power Petals. 1. For Kevin and Paul being the best of friends hanging out in a tent playing Mad Libs and Truth or Dare then we see the friendship unravel as Kevin picks apart Paul during an Adams Family episode and then does the unthinkable when a baseball card trade doesn’t go according to Kevin’s liking. 2. Kevin and Paul finding other friends to make each other jealous as was my understanding or at least in Kevin’s case basically using poor Doug. 3. Winnie being the go between for the two friends trying to patch things up. The Hermione to Harry and Ron. 4. Kevin realizing the errors of his ways and finding himself being the odd man out, but patching things up with Paul and seeing Doug better off with a true best friend like Brady. I knocked off one flower power petal because Kevin was a major ass this whole episode at least until the end. Wonderling Words of Wisdom: Look we all know in all friendships there are going to be ups and downs. That’s just life. But there are lines we never cross, words we never say because sometimes we can’t always take it back. Things get in the way and people sometimes change as they get older are maybe you don’t see eye to eye like you used to. If you feel the friendship going stale, take time apart, you don’t have to do everything together, make other friends too. The friendship will still be there. Sometime you just have to make adjustments, sacrifices and compromise like all good relationships, it takes work. Join me October 29 when I review S3E7 The Family Car In this episode The Arnold Family's car seems to be on it's last legs, but Dad just can't bring himself around to buy a new car for the family. In S310: Rock n’ Roll New student Larry Beeman turns Kevin on to the wonders of rock and roll. Pretty soon, Kevin purchases his own guitar and is rocking with Larry and his band.

Hey there Wonderlings, Long time, no podcast. How have you been? Today I’ll be discussing two episodes of The Wonder Years S3E3: Wayne on Wheels and S3E4: Mom Wars. In S3E3: Wayne on Wheels which aired on October 24, 1989 Wayne finally gets his driver's license, but doesn't sit well with his new job of driving Kevin and Paul around. Time for my Flower Power Episode Rating I’m giving it 4 out of 5 Flower Power Petals 1. Wayne entering the world of driving and showing us all what not to do. 2. Kevin’s stalker issues with this dream girl following her to the movies. That fact that he knows what her hair smells like is just creepy. 3. A near death experience brings Kevin and Wayne together if only for a moment and Wayne shows his human side. 4. For Jack and Norma laying down the law with Wayne and suspending his driving privileges. I knocked off two flower power petals for Wayne being a crazy driver and almost killing someone having no regard for anyone’s safety until he’s faced with his own mortality. Let’s move on to S3E4 Mom Wars which aired on October 31, 1989. Halloween. When Mom grows concerned about Kevin playing rough in touch football after school, Kevin has to make a choice. Time for my Flower Power Episode Rating: I’m giving this episode 4 out of 5 flower power petals. 1. For the flashbacks opening the episode with Norma and Kevin revealing their closeness and happy times. 2. The song that plays at the end The Circle Game by Joni Mitchell during the flashbacks of young Norma and Kevin. The song really speaks to children being young and innocence and then progressing with age and pulling away from their parents as they gain independence. 3. The moment Kevin comes unhinged and Tells his mother to stop treating him like a baby and he can take care of himself. That look of hurt on Norma’s face broke my heart, but at least she he was being honest with her and stood his ground. She needs to cut the apron strings. I know he’s her last baby, but she has to learn to let go. 4. Paul looking out for Kevin and calling off the game turning into Norma 2.0 when he gets hurt. What a great friend. Join me Sunday October 15, when I discuss S3E5: On The Spot which aired on November 7, 1989. In this episode Kevin joins the school play just to get out of Gym class, while Winnie and Paul seem to take it very seriously. Winnie has problems with her performance, and Kevin unexpectedly helps her during the show.

Happy Early Upload Day Wonderlings, We're almost at the end of the week, due to a busy day tomorrow I'm giving you this new episode a day early. Yay! Let’s talk about this politically charged episode S2E10: Walk Out which aired on March 7, 1989 as Kevin and his fellow classmates decide to protest the war in Vietnam by proceeding in a walk out in the middle of class converging on the lawn of the school where they all join in a kumbaya chorus of “Give Peace A Chance”. Boy do these kids have rhythm and harmony. But before this can happen ole assistant principal Diperna gets wind of it and puts his foot down calling an immediate halt to this protest and informing everyone deciding to participate they will wind up suspended. Time for my flower power episode rating: I’m giving it five of five flower power petals. 1. Doug Porter introduction. I want push pops too. ( for me because I skipped over S2E7: Code where he was actually introduced). 2. Mr. Tyler, coolest teacher ever aside from Mr. Feeny from Boy Meets World 3. Mark the dreamy rebel political activist 4. The kids all swaying back and forth singing give Peace a chance and holding up signs like end the war. 5. The kids all banning together fighting for a cause and seeing through with their actions. Who’s the worst well, of course I’m giving it to stick in the ass assistant principal Diperna, come on, guy, just let the kids have their 5 minutes of protest, so they can feel like something they’re doing actually matters. Quote of the episode: Narrator: And that's how I started the great Kennedy junior high peace walk out of nineteen-sixty-nine. As I said... some men pursue greatness... and some men have greatness thrust upon them... while they're in the bathroom. I'm not sure we really changed anything that day. I suppose the war would have gone pretty much the same if we'd stayed in home room. But one thing would be different. We wouldn't have the memory to carry with us today, of eight-hundred children on a football field, singing. And... it wouldn't all be on our permanent record. My Wonderling Words of Wisdom: What I got from this episode: Don’t be afraid to take risks, especially when it’s something you truly believe it. Don’t let anyone shut down your ideas and make you think you’re dumb. Don’t always be a follower or go with the crowd, set your own path, be a leader because all it takes is one person, one body, one voice to be heard above the rest. Light the way, along your own blazing path.

“We see something broadly similar to that, we’re not quite that bearish on the Canadian dollar, but on balance we think it’s more likely to weaken than strengthen in 2017,” Doug Porter chief economist and managing director of BMO Financial Group said in an interview with RCI.

“If it was just a matter of the UK pulling out of the European Union, I don’t believe that it would have severe financial market repercussions or economic repercussions,” Doug Porter said in an interview with RCI. “It would be negative for Britain but it wouldn’t be that big of a deal for everyone else.”
