In a TV panel on Tuesday, and I joked that Canada's promised "24/7 eyes on the border" should be some hockey sticks with googly eyes jammed in a snowbank. Aaron and his mom KJ, in Winnipeg, liked the idea, so they made us some truly amazing border sentries. I hope Mr. Trump feels more secure now.

great to see empirical confirmation of claims about the housing market I always assumed to be true (but never had data): 1. new housing supply leads to lower rents 2. new housing supply increases supply of affordable units (even if the new construction is in more expensive market segments)
