As you might have guessed by the flag in the header, this blog is based in Canada so I thought it would be fun to have a Canadian theme!

Bob and Doug Mackenzie were part of the show SCTV (Second City TV) which is one of my all time favourite shows.

Squawkfox has gone to the dogs this week with ten financial lessons she learned from her dog. Any dog named “Tivo” is ok by me! (This was my favourite post of the carnival.)

Terry Fox is one of the biggest heroes from my youth. He lost part of his leg to cancer, started running across Canada to raise money for research and although he didn’t make it all the way across the country, he captured the imagination of the entire nation and raised the level of awareness for cancer research.
