If you're looking at residential rental properties, have a gander at the annual rental housing market survey the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. (www.cmhc.ca) produces. The Conference Board of Canada (www.conferenceboard.ca) is one of several organizations that issue business and consumer confidence surveys. For a fee, the Board provides detailed analyses for specific regions. The information gleaned from these sources, like interest-rate projections, can help you gauge whether markets are in for a boom or a downturn. [2020] - Douglas Gray

I suggest you decontaminate the bristles of your brush after each use by swishing the head of your brush in an essential oil rinse like Listerine®. Then rinse it with water, and allow it to air-dry in a clean environment away from any toilet contamination. Do not rely solely on UV sanitizers as they may not be as effective as portrayed by their marketing. Even antibacterial toothbrushes need to be cleaned with some frequency, especially if you have an unhealthy mouth. Consider purchasing inexpensive brushes for travel and use them as throwaways. [2018] - Ellie Phillips

Reflux is not a chronic disease. If you can completely stop reflux for two weeks, the system will usually recover.

Fortunately, most airway reflux and esophageal reflux patients can become reflux free within six to twelve months. [2014] - Jamie Koufman

If I was in a high-income bracket and had maxed out on my contributions to RRSPs and TFSAs, but I still wanted to invest more, real estate might be the way to do it. It's more tax-effective than some types of investment. Also, it would be a good way to take advantage of low interest rates. [2021] - Frederick Vettese
