I knew nothing about credit cards, interest rates or minimum payments when I finished high school. Had I been taught, maybe I could have avoided some hardship.
Park-ing up the wrong tree
Should every available space in the downtown core become a condo? Or do other priorities need consideration?

Buy-ding my time
I’ve never daydreamed about owning property. Mainly because I find most people who own, tend to complain a lot about how annoying and expensive it is.
That said, I’m open to the idea. But when? And am I being an idiot for waiting? Is there pressure to buy?
Labour of love
Office life is a reality… but can’t we make that life a little more lively?
I explored the topic during an hour-long Labour Day special on CBC Radio:
Comma-nd of the English language
One of the problems with working in radio, is that nobody cares about my punctuation when I’m writing a story. Good thing I am no longer in a position to write an entrance exam like many new Canadians.
Find out how punctuation can wreak havoc as heard on CBC Radio’s Babel earlier this summer.
Oh and after watching this many years ago, I have never misused an exclamation mark! Oh wait, did I just do it?! How bout now!?
Conflicted Canucks
I often try to imagine what it would be like to move permanently to another country. I can imagine adopting customs, language and food.
But the one thing I can’t imagine is cheering for a country other than Canada or a city other than Toronto (believe me, I tried in various cities… sorry Ottawa but I can’t stand the Sens.)
Which is why in our city there are so many conflicted fans.
Should I stay or should I go?
Fitting that song is by a group called “The Clash” because that’s exactly what we have when it comes to the debate over cross-border shopping.
You can bring more goods back over the border now free of charge.
I’m not a big cross-border shopper but I have scored some sweet deals in the past. The problem is, those deals come at a cost… which is why Mike Colle wants people to shop in Toronto.
Meanwhile, this woman is not going to apologize for her cross-border shopping habit.
Hear them both say their piece (not at the Peace Bridge… although that would be a pretty cool place to hear them debate) as heard on Metro Morning.
