The Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives yesterday released a study title "Canada's Housing Bubble - An Accident Waiting to Happen" in which they state that "for the first time in 30 years, six of Canada's hottest real estate markets are in a housing bubble." The study examined trends in house prices in Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Montreal and Ottawa between 1980 and 2010.

Brian Weeden of the Secure World Foundation has a very interesting article on The Space Review titled Dancing in the dark: The orbital rendezvous of SJ-12 and SJ-06F which details the apparent on-orbit rendezvous of two Chinese satellites.

"The rendezvous of two Chinese satellites demonstrates that China is broadening its space capabilities, but also touches on the greater issue of perceptions, trust, and safety in space activities that could impact the long-term sustainability of the space regime."
