Half the contractors in Alberta are probably sporting erections that could penetrate drywall right now.

I was thinking more about the thousands of people out of work with $700K mortgages that were about to go into bankruptcy now have a nice insurance payout to look forward to.

It would be interesting to know what percentage of the people who lost their homes opted for the bare minimum insurance plan and are now going to get a cheque that still doesn't cover the remaining amounts on their mortgages.

That would be interesting, but in those cases I bet you'll almost certainly see the government step in as has happened in pretty much every other disaster in recent memory.

Who would the insurance pay out to, the bank or the homeowner? If it's the latter they could just flip the bird to the bank and deliberately default on the mortgage, couldn't they?

On my drive home I listened to live news reports and thought about things like insurance companies declaring bankruptcy or the possibility of out-of-work oil workers cutting home insurance before selling their trucks

Anyway, the dream of me getting a boring job out West and posting during a night-shift while paying down my student loan just took a step towards becoming reality, I think! Teachers today were talking about how this could be a good thing for our numbers, since some families might just decided to take the insurance cheque and return to the Maritimes.

In most of Canada mortgages are full recourse; no handing the bank the keys and giving them the finger.

Except for Alberta.

So ya expect a lot of people walking away from their mortgages.

Toronto is the black hole that is swallowing this country. Eventually 35 million people are all going to be stuck on the 400/401 trying to get their rear end to work.

Except for Vancouver, that's going to be 100% populated by realtors playing musical empty houses with the Chinese.
