Ontario Real Estate Market Update
The real estate market in Ontario, Canada has recovered from the recession for a number of reasons and will remain positive through the spring of 2010. Canada’s Finance Minister announced tighter mortgage qualification rules for high ratio insured mortgages on February 16 which will make it tougher for some first time buyers to get a home but the impact is not likely to be a large one on the overall market. It appears that the current low mortgage rates are stable for now. We predict interest rates will not rise significantly in 2010 and so a variable rate mortgage (convertible when rates do rise) is still a good idea. With a low inventory of properties on the market sellers now have the advantage and prices are rising especially in popular neighbourhoods. Buyers need to think ahead and avoid overpaying. Consider whether you will be able to afford a mortgage renewal if rates go up. Look at oil prices (if high the Canadian dollar will rise) and look to the US dollar for key signals on interest rates. The higher the Canadian dollar is in comparison to the US dollar the more likely Canadian interest rates will stay low. We provide personalized real estate legal services and advice at a reasonable price.
Miskin Law proceeding across Canada with Yaz/Yasmin claims
The Bayer birth control pills Yaz or Yasmin can cause dehydration which causes an increase in the
potassium levels (hyperkalemia) and a decrease in the sodium levels (hyponatremia) in the body.
As potassium acts as a key control in cardiac rhythm, this imbalance can cause hyperkalemia
arrhythmias, which, in turn can cause blood clots and thrombotic events such as stroke or deep
vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, or heart attack. Dehydration is also a risk factor for
kidney stones and gallbladder disease. While other birth control pills can also cause thrombotic events, the cause of those effects are from the estrogen side of the equation. The thrombotic effects of Yaz and Yasmin are from the progesterin side. While it has long been accepted that high estrogen levels can cause these
adverse events, Yaz/Yasmin/Ocella have been marketed as having low estrogen levels, thereby
having a lower risk for thrombotic events. There have been several studies that have
called this into question.
The Miskin Law firm is now making claims related to these drugs and we are about to begin a court action in Ontario. Contact us if you believe you have been harmed by Yaz or Yasmin.

Murray Miskin first worked on asbestos claims in 1979 and is now getting compensation for Canadians for Mesothelioma and other asbestos illness from a number of different American trust funds set up when asbestos manufacturers were put out of business due to a large number of serious claims.

In some cases you can receive both compensation from the asbestos trusts and from Workers Compensation but in some Provinces Workers Compensation takes away your right to claim other compensation.

Another Year: Canadian Vioxx Claims Update
The anti-inflammatory drug Vioxx was recalled over five years ago September 30, 2004 after evidence came out that it causes stroke and heart attacks. Since then the Miskin firm has represented individual Vioxx users hurt by that drug who are making claims. In the USA a settlement is still being implemented for over two years while Merck still fights a class action lawsuit in Canadian courts and has not yet paid any claims. As we enter 2010 the fight continues to get Canadians compensation.
