December 27, 2020 | Homies

That’s Winston. He’s a border collie, raised, bred-in-the-bone and trained to herd sheep. But, of course, now he works from home. Via Zoom. Full pay, plus an employer-matched RRSP. It’s all good. And, like most workers under the age of 34 (Winston is four) he’s in no hurry to get back to the pasture and […]

December 25, 2020 | Things to be Grateful for in 2020

While 2020 has been a very difficult year for all of us, I have learned that taking the time to make a gratitude list is always helpful. Many years ago, I was complaining about things that I felt were not going my way and an older and wiser person said to me, “What are you […]

December 24, 2020 | Do as I Command – Not as I Do!

The Senate on Monday night approved a $2.3 trillion COVID-19 relief bill and sent it to President Trump for his signature. The legislation — which follows the passage in the House — authorizes $600 stimulus checks for people who earn less than $75,000 per year and an extra $600 payment per child.

An Internet sensation is the dating video of Satan and 2020. A perfect match. Nobody saw this coming back in the halcyon days of late twenty nineteen.

Consumers are starting to run out of artificial steam. The free Pandemic money has been dropping for months and in November nearly faded out.

December 23, 2020 | Merry Vaxmas

Christmas Eve eve. We crave good news. So, here we go. It’s got a few names. Like, ‘vaccine lift.’ And ‘game-changer.’ Of course there’s the standard, ‘pent-up demand.’ The always-welcomed, ‘unleashed torrent’. And my new fav, ‘permanent reopening.’ This is the current econo-lingo being used to describe where we are, where we’re going. So even […]

The slimy little pathogen has changed much. For those who have not actually been infected or punted from their job or business as a result, the next greatest impact is surely with real estate. Not just in Toronto. Or urban Lunenburg. Or Montreal and Vancouver, Barrie and Kelowna – but everywhere in North America. It’s […]

December 22, 2020 | Ontario Lockdown Resumes on Boxing Day

Emergency loan offerings are an understandable response to revenue loss, but because Canadian businesses and households came into this recession with record indebtedness and low cash savings, more loans are not the fix that many hope.  Any savings most did have has been price-indiscriminately tossed into risky corporate securities that have not recovered fully despite […]

December 22, 2020 | Bitcoin Rally Similarities – Is This The Peak?

The recent rally in Bitcoin is strangely similar to the rally that took place in 2017.  Although the range of price throughout the rally is somewhat different, the structure of price throughout the rally phase is very similar.  Our researchers believe this similarity suggests a peak may be forming in Bitcoin and the big volume […]

December 21, 2020 | What is Klaus Schwab Really About?

A lot of people are starting to feel as if Klaus Schwab is the anti-Christ. He is advocating that no one should buy or sell without a digital health certificate, and he advocates trans-humanism while insisting on lockdowns of even religion. I don’t know about being the anti-Christ, but he is a very sick and […]

No vax talk today. Promise. (But I will be checking your shoulders for wee pricks in the future. And watching for the little pricks, too.) But, sheesh, the virus stuff just gets worse.
