1 THEY’RE CALLING IT “FRANKENSTORM” Sure, why not. Gosh there’s sure a lot of volatile weather these days. This storm could cause $1 billion damage when it hits the East Coast. You know what I think?

2 TWO-THIRDS OF SASK RESPONDENTS SAY HOME OWNERSHIP IS FOR EVERYONE! Two-thirds of respondents are clueless. Not everyone is in technology and trades, or has a unionized public sector job or cushy political appointment (good on you who do but don’t assume everyone has your good fortune). It’s tough to save when you’ve got a low wage, student loan and skyrocketing rent. Not everyone can do it, and suggestions that everyone can are specious bordering on delusional.
