Although there seems to be much talk on the strength of Canada’s economy and its emergence as a player on the world financial stage, I’ve noticed a real shortfall when it comes to quality blogs about that very topic. It seems odd to me that all opinions have been in the domain of either newspaper editorials or the occasional Canadian centric political blog. Unfortunately the latter seem to centred on humour (justifiably so considering the state of Canadian politics) or simply towing the party line when it comes to the former.

With that in mind I decided that Canadians could really benefit from a serious financial blog. I intend to document all things related to finance in Canada as well as other international developments and issues that will effect us during this critical time. Make no mistake, despite an economic recovery, we are still subject to the actions of our rather fiscally irresponsible neighbours to the south. We’re not in the clear yet. So, I hope this blog can help you make sense of your financial situation as a Canadian while making it a little more stable by providing you with some helpful advice and information along the way.
