Palace Place (the southern tower built in 1993 by Bramalea – Canada’s largest builder at the time) relations with Palace Pier (the northern tower built in 1978 by the Tanenbaum family) were at their best in 2018 thanks in part to this incredible business leader and Palace Pier President, Gerald Hess. The spirit of collaboration and partnership were never as strong as they were then. 

People forget condo directors are volunteers, and the best ones have far better things to do than to endure endless criticisms and personal attacks from those who thrive on inciting acrimony with misinformation.

A condo can fall overnight with the wrong leadership, which is why peace, stability, and the right mix of talent are so critical to maintaining the success of a condo building. 

Like Steve Jobs had said so well, “My model for business is The Beatles. They were four guys who kept each other kind of negative tendencies in check. They balanced each other and the total was greater than the sum of the parts. That’s how I see business: great things in business are never done by one person, they’re done by a team of people.”

Buyers should always keep this in mind and do their homework on the board—whether it’s seasoned and stable or brand new and untested. A strong, experienced team truly makes all the difference in safeguarding your investment and upholding the building’s legacy.

I truly miss working with this incredible man.

Kevin O’Leary has announced that he believes that the end is in sight for the trade problems between the USA and Canada because in order for President Trump to proceed with his vision for the Golden Dome missile defence system he will need Canada’s support, which O’Leary believes can be used as leverage to make a meaningful deal between the two countries. In addition, the need for power for Ai centres will also create a need that Canada can deliver upon. As a result, O’Leary says, “I’m going long on Canadian dollars and power sources. I think Canada is going to be part of this.”

The most important thing that President Trump had said in the World Economic Forum on January 21, 2026 that must be echoed in Canada.

“One thing about housing, because nobody ever says this, I am very protective of people that already own a house, of which we have millions and millions and millions. And because we have had such a good run, the house values have gone up tremendously. And these people have become wealthy. They weren’t wealthy.

They’ve become wealthy because of their house. And every time you make it more and more and more affordable for somebody to buy a house cheaply, you’re actually hurting the value of those houses, obviously, because the one thing works in tandem with the other.

And I don’t want to do anything that’s going to hurt the value of people that own a house who, for the first time in their lives, are walking around the streets of whatever city they’re in, very proud that their house is worth $500,000, $600,000, $700,000. Now, if I want to really crush the housing market, I could do that so fast. People could buy houses. But you would destroy a lot of people that already have houses.” – President Trump

We have been advocating for this mentality and protection in Toronto all along… and that is the Dalinda difference!

Today, December 10, 2025, the Bank of Canada has announced that it is holding rates at 2.25%.

The Canadian economy would gain significant stability from a robust trade agreement with the United States, provided the government can overcome its ineffective negotiation efforts.

While such a critical deal remains in limbo and uncertainty in the economy persists, the decision to hold rates signals that now is the time to buy. This news should bode well for market activity over the coming months if buyers recognize the opportunity rather than continuing to sit on the sidelines, as the next announcement could be an increase.

The best rates that we have seen so far:

3 year fixed at 3.89% (decreased from 4.24% in September 2025)

5 year variable at 3.70%

The next scheduled date for announcing the overnight rate target is January 28, 2026.

Today, October 29, 2025, the Bank of Canada has announced that it is dropping rates for the second time to 2.25%.

The Canadian economy would gain significant stability from a robust trade agreement with the United States, provided the government can overcome its ineffective negotiation efforts.

While such a critical deal remains in limbo, this second rate reduction is the next best thing to help restore confidence back into the market. This news should bode well for market activity over the coming month.

The best rates that we have seen so far:

3 year fixed at 3.89% (decreased from 4.24% in September 2025)

5 year variable at 3.95%
