I prefer online shopping except for clothes. It is easy to search for the product you want and you normally can buy at a lower price. Nevertheless, proper refund policy needs to be there in case defects are delivered. Therefore, $Amazon (AMZN.US)$ is my favorite go-to shopping place.

As BoC cut 0.5% interest rate, it is normally expexted to see a revivial in the real estate market.
However, recently government of Canada also announced that they will cut the intake of PR significantly. This will reduce demand in the housing market.
That being said, I believe buying REIT ETF such as $Hamilton REITs YIELD MAXIMIZE ETF (RMAX.CA)$ with covered call yield enhancement is a good choice
