Friday free-for-all

It's Friday! ..and what a Good Friday it is! This is the open topic thread for Friday April 6th. Here's what I've seen in the news recently:

-Young people: buy first, think later.
-Flood of used cars flow into Canada
-Economist Micheal Shedlock commments on Canadian Building Permit Plunge:

When things go bad blame the weather. I suggest this is the beginning of the end of the housing boom in Canada. Canada seems to be about 18 months or so behind the US and has a lot of catching up to do. It will be a painful process especially for recent buyers and trapped sellers, just as it played out in the US.
