Canadian Personal Finance Blog

I think that loud bang I heard when I turned the water back on for my toilet repair yesterday was more than “just nothing”, given the huge water stain in the ceiling this morning. Yes, after bragging on this very blog of my great home repair skills, Karma or God or however you want to spin it, came and bit me for being so proud of myself.

We have a hole in the ceiling, but now the “leak” has decided to disappear? Might have been residual from the pre-gasket replacement, but I doubt that, should be interesting anyhow.

Coalition?

OK, I will wade into this murky swamp that is the Canadian Parliament, my guess is this is not going to work no matter what happens and we will be going back to the polls in February or March with a backlash against the Tories and the Liberals, and maybe the NDP making big inroads because the arguments are simple:

• Bloody Tories caused this election, arrogant bastards!
• Liberals kick their leader to the curb, go back and get him to run a government propped up by separatists?
• That Jack Layton, he’s a nice guy and was just trying to govern.

Advent Financial Calendar Box Day 3

Today’s box, is like those Russian stacking dolls, it is a box in a box. The box in the box is a Safety Deposit box, do you have one? If you don’t wear do you keep your important documents? Remember this is a carrying charge for investing, so you can actually write off your box for your taxes.

Safety deposit box, go get one if you don’t have one, or at least have somewhere safe to put your important documents.
