Garth Turner is a best-selling author, speaker, public affairs commentator and two-time member of Canada's Parliament. 

For those who are unfamiliar with hist latest book, in a nutshell it discusses the subprime crisis in The U.S. and explains why Canada is in line for a similar real estate bust, albeit for different reasons than in the United States. While this may seem obvious now, the book was published back in March, when many real estate experts were still saying that Canada would be immune to the type of crash than our American neighbours have seen. Since that time, real estate prices in most parts of the country have declined significantly, and as such Garth’s book has proven remarkably prescient.
