Canada at its Innovative Best!
By · CommentsWhen the world thinks of Canada and Canadians a few words and images immediately come to mind.
Hockey, cold, snow, long winters, Wayne Gretzky, trees, moose and…… beer! (Especially when compared to US beer- sorry American friends- our beer is better – but guys know that).
And now the world can think of Canada and ..innovations. Sure we brought the world the Blackberry, the phone, hockey, basketball (yes we did!), Flickr, Java (not the coffee), Poutine (Quebec is still part of us) and the Beavertail! (ever had some Canadian beaver..tail?)
Now the newest innovation showing that we are not only a creative and fun bunch (are you listening Ottawa??), but also that during those long cold winters months while watching hockey, eating beavertails texting on our blackberries and trying to get some customer service out of Bell, we have wayyy too much time on our hands!
The video below encompasses the true meaning of being Canadian, eh!
Economics For Dummies (no not you!)
By · CommentsFound a nice source for those students requiring some simple explanations to various economic theories. Won’t take any credit – the source is within the text.
(Thank you Mr. Bremer- whoever you are:)

Interesting view on how the recession of 2008-2009 will steer consumers into new paths and direction- focusing or re-focusing on true values and moving away from the free spending ways of the last two decades.
Will Gen-Y listen and heed some advice?
