I’m sure every parent has times when they feel like they’re terrible parents – not doing the rights things, not sure if the lessons are reaching them.

Friday Fun Link – Vive Le Canada #Elbows Up
Dear Canada, I felt compelled to make something. To stick up for, and to honour. To show our strength, beauty, genius, empathy, light & heart.

Many people save for retirement through RRSPs, TFSAs, pensions (if they’re lucky) but Shea recently told me about the concept of “oversaving” where people become so focused on saving that they find it hard to switch to spending those savings as retirement approaches – especially if you’re still in good health and feel like you […]
To My Fellow Americans: The Canadian Door Is Ajar
Not a lot but according to this essay, Canadians are open to going back to the way things were in terms of US relations. BUT some *very* major changes need to happen. (And honestly, I’m not even sure those changes would fix it – we’ve seen America with the mask off completely and it was […]
