The Pointy Headed Promises and Mistakes…

We thought long and hard before deciding that we would publish this article that had been passed to us on our real estate blog, but then we thought well all of these things do influence real estate in Ontario, by changing the amount of money we have in our pockets. Also it shows the power of links in how the search engines rank sites. Also if you feel strongly about what Ontario’s Premier Pinocchio, also known as the Pointy Headed Liar has done since being elected please feel free to report this article but please keep the whole article intact with the links.
