The Canadian Capitalist announced last month a re-branding of his site and a partnership with MoneySense magazine. I wanted to let the immediate reactions die down, but thought there were a few interesting reactions. Some readers were unenthusiastic about the change, while bloggers were pretty unanimously supportive. One of the more interesting comments seemed to [...]

Every parent of young children is continually looking for new activities to do with their kids. Preferably activities that are inexpensive or even free. One option I have is to take my kids to Riverdale Farm which is located near the downtown core here in Toronto. Of course this particular activity isn’t available to everyone [...]

Yesterday Mike reposted an old blog post from my previous blog. Commenter Adam correctly pointed out that it was quite muddled, to the point of almost being unreadable. As a gesture of atonement, and to hopefully prove I’ve learned a thing over two over the last three years, I want to take another shot at [...]

This post highlights a family in Britain that lives entirely on government benefits. Not only are they getting by, I’d say they are doing very well. You want a nanny state? Well, how about paid travel vacations for everyone? The head of EU thinks that it is a basic human right. Speaking of scumbags – [...]

When I did my condo purchase series I promised to provide an update after I did my tax return and never got around to it. Better late than never, I’ve completed my 2009 taxes and can provide a summary. The way most investors (incorrectly) calculate their return is to take the rental income and subtract [...]

Jay recently asked me about getting started as a freelance writer. Kind of ironic since he is now part of the paid staff here at 4P. While I’ve never done freelancing myself, I have hired quite a few of them so I have a pretty good idea what is involved. There isn’t any one obvious [...]

There are two ways to make money with stocks: Appreciation (the difference between the purchase price and the sale price). Otherwise known as capital gains. Dividends (regular cash payments the company sends you a check for or which get deposited into your brokerage account). Most investors seem to focus exclusively on speculative gains (the appreciation), [...]

I think we are finally seeing some nice weather here in Toronto – spring did come early, but then the cold came which wasn’t a lot of fun. I’m enjoying the hockey playoffs – my Leafs aren’t there but I will be cheering for other Canadian teams such as the Habs (shudder), Sens (shudder) and [...]

I’m often amazed at fundamental misunderstandings landlords and tenants have about the laws governing tenancy in Ontario. I’m not a lawyer, but to the best of my knowledge the information in this post is correct (and if any commentators correct me, I’ll make corrections in the post). This post shouldn’t be taken as the complete [...]

Three years ago Ramit Sethi wrote a post that made me laugh and think of my parents (it also looks like it might have subconsciously been influencing my post last week). In it he talks about how his parents are very generous with him, but they (and, according to Ramit, all Indians) HATE to pay [...]

In my family, I am the night owl. My wife tends to go to bed earlier (although not as early as she used to) and the kids go to bed very early. This means that any noisy activities such as watching movies with surround sound can’t be enjoyed at night in my house because I [...]

One of Microsoft Windows’ competitors is Linux, a free operating system. Beyond it’s low price, it’s a very stable, reliable system. If I was playing a game or watching a movie, it’s easier to do so on Windows, but if I’m running a web server or an ftp server Linux is far better. While competing, [...]
