I was saddened to hear of the death of Stuart McLean, host of the Vinyle Cafe. That radio show was truly a slice of Canadiana , and the good nature and happiness in the stories told will be sorely lost. Now is a time when we could use more of Stuart’s stories, and less of the other things on the radio.

Really not sure whether this Joe Trudeau chap has the chops to be PM.

For those who have not watched the 5^th Estate piece on Betrayal of Trust outlining the 220 lawyers disciplined over the past 6 years for misappropriating over $160M from clients, well worth watching. Do you trust the folks you entrust with your money?

So far, Ottawa has had snow pretty much every day in February (except one), so we are quite the winter wonderland. As the cardinal on my birdfeeder can see, no one seems that happy about all this snow.

For those lovers of Monopoly out there, note the passing of the Thimble as a piece for a player, it will be dropped in future Monopoly sets. I don’t know many folks who will miss it (my Mum used to like to be the thimble).

My Writings for the Week Ending February 17th

We did have a Surprising Job Picture in Canada in January, with jobs created when none were expected. The economy continues to create part-time jobs, but maybe that is what the economy needs.

A Money Thought

We need more kids asking for personal finance education at schools!

My niece,16, says she wishes schools would teach #personalfinance
