Ruffled Feathers: Green Energy Act Irks Toronto Real Estate Market
May 4th, 2009 Categories: Home Buyers, Home Sellers, News Wire
Perhaps because of last week’s Earth Day celebrations, or the fact that I’ve seen the trailer for Earth (the first film in the Disneynature series) so many times that, well, I now think I HAVE to see the movie, or my Green Monster Award and subsequent nod from Political Calculations On the Moneyed Midways, that I seem to have … Green On My Mind.

In fact, I might have placed a call to your family and made some discrete inquiries regarding your state of mind. Now, it’s an accepted part of the airport flight departure process.
