What does our new government mean?  How will it impact the country, the economy and the Real Estate and Mortgage sectors?  With the Conservative Majority, a shrinking Liberal presence, and the NDP becoming almost the singular voice for an entire province, what are the implications for the Canadian landscape- both in business practice, and in daily life?

With no one really restricting the Conservatives there is the possibility that Flaherty may loosen the strings of financing for home buyers. The Conservatives were the ones to open up mortgage qualification but were forced by the opposition to tighten the purses--touting that we didn't want to have the same experiences as the US.

It is true as well that there is a sense of stability returning to the country- as we have a majority government for the first time in years- and that the possibility of marching off to the polls can likely be put on the back shelf until 2015 or so.  There is no question though, that in business of buying and selling houses- and in securing the funds to do so, having a stable platform underneath you makes it significantly easier to move upwards. Many in the Industry feel that, being able to steady your feet politically, means being able to ultimately bolster the bottom line as well.

Mr. Harper's desire to be seen as a middle of the road politician can only help stabilize the economy. The business sector will be happy that there is stability in the market place and hopefully this stability means an outcome of stable mortgage interest rates and a continuing of the recovery of the country thus assisting in the continued growth in the affordability in the real estate market. 

What are your views on how this new government will affect your business or investments??
