What are you talking about! 
1. An editorial column, ha, ha! Of course its not, do you know what an editorial is? It says it at the top, "Special to The Globe and Mail", its pretty much an ad.
2. Yes, I do own real estate, at the Waterfront (downtown). My property has been gaining value for the past 14 years. 

I see what I am doing as a service for those who might not realize that these "articles" are just plain old advertisement pieces. These property do not represent today's market reality.

PS: I have a question for you now. Which real estate agency do you work for?
