httpwwwguybuchanancom: Is this a real estate boom or a bubble? - 01/13/11 11:55 PM

The Canadian housing market is poised to strengthen after a brief slowdown, according to CIBC chief executive officer Gerry McCaughey.
 In a television interview with Business News Network McCaughey said the slowdown in the Canadian housing market is healthy as it allows the industry to "catch a breath."
 "The indications are Canada is doing reasonably well, the recovery in the U.S. and probably in Canada seems to be slowing somewhat, but I believe this is probably a pause," McCaughey said.
