I chortle in my joy.

All kudos to @rossiterbooks.bsky.social, but a special mention for the determination and tenacity of Jane (not shown) at their Malvern branch.

Nous avons lancé l’agence Maisons Canada l’automne dernier, et celle-ci contribue déjà à accélérer le rythme de la construction résidentielle : des milliers de nouveaux logements sont en cours de construction.
