Every single Canadian should be wearing a poppy at this time of year. And they should do it proudly.

Stolen from one smart cookie on FB How carbon tax works. Follow me on my adventure… Pretend there are 5 people living in Canada and this is what they make annually: Gertrude: $500,000 William: $400,000 Suzy: $50,000 Spencer: $40,000 Dwight: $30,000 Gertrude and William own all the stores and sell grocery, clothes and industrial supplies to Suzy, Spencer and Dwight. This is what these 5 will pay in Carbon Tax: Gertrude: $5000 William: $4,000 Suzy: $800 Spencer: $600 Dwight: $500 This is will be their ‘rebates’: Gertrude: $0 William: $0 Suzy: $850 Spencer: $630 Dwight: $520 Suzy, Spencer and Dwight love the carbon tax. They got more money back than they paid (so they think). It’s like a lottery. Super awesome. Gertrude and William got screwed. The Supreme Emperor who invented the carbon tax, doesn’t care about Gertrude and William though. He just needs the support of the other three to stay in power. The Supreme Emperor also knows that like him, Suzy, Spencer and Dwight aren’t very good at math and can’t figure out that their entire cost of living has increased, because Gertrude and William just raised the price of everything because the Carbon Tax made their cost of doing business more expensive. Because they pay more carbon tax and don’t get a rebate. Suzy, Spencer and Dwight keep voting for the Supreme Emperor, because they like ‘free money’. Gertrude and William vote to have the Supreme Emperor removed from power and Suzy, Spenser and Dwight get upset. They don’t understand why Gertrude and William despise the Supreme Emperor who gives out free money like candy. The thing is… Suzy, Spenser and Dwight don’t even know that Gertrude and William don’t get a rebate and had to increase prices on everything, because they only watch CBC. The End.

For farmers, ag businesses, ag banks, or just anyone planning for retirement/transition and needing a place to start. Message me or drop a comment and I'll email you this worksheet I built for budgeting for transition. I don't save your email and won't spam you. Often when I work on transition planning with family farms and businesses, I start by asking whether or not the senior or junior partners have met or work with a Certified Financial Planner. Usually the answer is 'no', but sometimes not. However, almost every time the senior partner does not have a clear picture on what their needs are as they move into the next chapter of transition, or retirement. Usually they think they will be ok, but until it is put on paper, there is still this massive fear or uncertainty about what they think is an 'unknown'- but it's pretty easy to navigate. This set of tools lays out the major areas of emphasis. 1. Knowing what your Cost of Living might be as you make changes in your life 2.Understanding a clear picture of your income and expenses as you move forward I built this tool to map out the next 50 years, so you can fill it out as the Junior partner as well. It also allows you to input variables such as investment growth, inflation, etc. This is mostly manual entry, but if you want to take it and add macros or other areas of interest, be my guest! I hope this helps a lot of people, and I'm open to improvements and critiques. Have a great day, and let me know if you need anything! #agx #agtwitter

It's been a day filled with inspiring stories, hope, and a few tears. Amazing to see a team of young leaders @LordDorchester and dedicated staff, custodians and student volunteers making this year's #RelayForLife such a great success. Congratulations to all involved!

This is an example of the best humanity

Today is #BellLetsTalk Day! One of the ways we can all take action is to learn about mental health organizations creating positive change for mental health in Canada…every day.

@AdamJPfeffer I just built a 72x70x20 if you wanna check it out.

Dreaming up a potential shop build next year, anything folks would do differently with their builds? Thinking 60x80x20 would be a nice size for my future needs. Let’s talk about something non political #agtwitter!

« I love my family, I love my country and I care for my neighbour. I am not a criminal or a threat to society. What @JustinTrudeau is trying to do is unjust. I support the CCRF ( Canada’s leading firearm rights organization) to keep my hunting tools. » - CAREY PRICE, 2022

NEW ON 519 - Kendrick Nicholson is going into his 9th season as a referee in the NHL. This past weekend, Nicholson was giving back in London leading a development clinic for referees & linesman. More on 519's YouTube channel. #LocalSports @GroupReferee youtu.be/jj_aN8VlV6c

Today would have been Terry Fox's 64th birthday. A true Canadian hero who was only 22 when he died from cancer. RIP.

A Blue Whale was spotted off the coast of Vancouver Island yesterday. The largest animal to ever grace this planet. The largest dinosaur weighed around 85 tons. Some male Blue Whales weigh as much as 200 tons. A Blue Whale's heart is 6 feet wide and weighs 400 lbs.

78 years ago, Canadians were part of D Day. More than 14,000 Canadians landed or parachuted into France. By the end of the Battle of Normandy the Allies had over 200,000 casualties, with the more than 18,700 Canadians killed or wounded. Lest we forget.

You don’t have to struggle in silence. No one needs to face their problems alone. It’s #BellLetsTalk Day, text, call or tweet to support mental health. Remember that things can only get better.    #BellLetsTalk

Habs forward Jonathan Drouin discusses his own battle with mental health, and the importance of communicating it with loved ones. 💙 #BellLetsTalk

Break the silence. Asking for help can be hard, but no one needs to face their problems alone. It’s #BellLetsTalk Day. Bell donates 5¢ to Canadian mental health programs for each time you watch their official video.

Help promote awareness and understanding for mental health. Talking is an important first step towards lasting change. It’s #BellLetsTalk Day, let’s keep the conversation going
