We Will Remember Them
They shall grow not old, as we who are left grow old
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning
We will remember them

Tightfisted Canucks Need Tipping Etiquette
A recent study by the Bank of Montreal claims that Canadians tend to be tightfisted when it comes to tipping. The study seems to indicate that the problem is more a lack of understanding of who to tip and how much than truly being tightfisted with their money.
I generally tip in restaurants and when I [...]
Canadians Need to be Careful About Their SIN
This story in last weekends Toronto Star is a prime example why Canadians need to be wary of giving out personal identification, especially your SIN (Social Insurance Number). Private corporations get away with asking you for your SIN but the fact is that rarely is there a legal requirement for you to give [...]
How to Establish Your First Credit
T0day, credit has become a necessity of life. Generally speaking, it takes credit to get credit. So, how do you break into the circle?
There are several ways you can obtain your first credit. Many young people will look to their parents or other established adult to co-sign their first credit. DON’T do it! Don’t [...]
Protecting Your Credit Card
AH the power of a credit card! For a lot of people getting their hands on their first credit card can be as much of a power rush as their first car. Like driving a car, you need to take having a credit card very very seriously.
You may enjoy the freedom of having a credit [...]
Do You Manage Your Money? Or Does it Manage You?
If your financial plan lurches from one credit card limit to the next, you may want to consider that your money is managing you. For your own peace of mind, you have to turn the tables and take control.
That control is as much about having credit and the ability to have credit as it is [...]

From Missing To Grieving In A Flash
On Wednesday, just two days before the world celebrated Christmas, I expect the family of Lt. Andrew Nuttall was doing what most Canadians were doing, preparing for Christmas. I expect they were thinking about their loved one serving in Afghanistan. Thinking about how they would celebrate when his deployment was over and he returned home.
I [...]

Winter Officially Begins; Christmas Isn’t Far Behind
Yesterday was the shortest day of the year, it was also the first official day of winter. We’ve been pretty fortunate so far, we’ve had very little snow so far this season. For the first time in 160 years there was zero snow in November.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t really dislike winter. I do [...]
This Canadian Cares About Detainee Issue
I’ve been reading and listening to the reporting about the detainee issue over the last several weeks. The Opposition parties in Parliament have been after trying to get to the bottom of finding out just who knew and when about detainees being turned over to the Afghans from Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan. As much as [...]
The Plot That Wasn’t
On Sunday I read through Angelo Persichilli’s political column in the Toronto Star. I usually give his column a scan but rarely put a lot of stock into it. More of a gut response to his writing than any true sense that he plays pretty loose with the truth in his perspective.
In his latest column [...]
