This week, we read about little things and powerful things.
Starting with little things, we watched NDP rookie MP Sana Hassainia pressed into leaving her seat just ahead of a House vote, because she was accompanied by her three-month-old boy, Skander-Jack. Sana brought the baby into the chamber because she could not find her husband, before the vote on the long-gun registry. I guess this takes the “take your child to work” practice to a whole new level!
Regarding powerful things, I’d like to thank Bryan Borzykowski again for profiling me in The Toronto Star. The article discussed the increasing power of the Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA). If you didn’t get a chance to read it, check it out and let me know what you think.
I also made time to read my favourite blogs this week to come up with the list below for you. I hope this provides some great weekend reading material.
Have a safe, happy and healthy weekend and thanks for reading!
Rob Carrick said to defend savings from a surprise tax grab.
Larry MacDonald wrote about 7 RRSP contribution suggestions.
Million Dollar Journey wondered if you will be buying the Facebook IPO. My answer is, not a chance. (By the way – Facebook has been valued around $100 billion. Mr. Zuckerberg will be retaining 28% or so of the company, that means, heโll be worth about $28 Billion. Not bad…I guess.)
Thanks Mark! How do you do it? LInk to 30 pages? Doesn’t that take you like.. 2 hours or so? I know for my 10 measly links I do a week, it takes me a good hour to link them up.
Hope u had a good weekend ๐
Yeah, a couple of hours…but I can type very fast! I had a great weekend, thanks Clare!
Thanks for the link Mark. Hope you’re having a great weekend.

Yeah, I had to narrow it down this week ๐ You’re most welcome.
Oh and congrats btw on your Toronto Star interview – it was excellent ๐
What, only 30 links this weekend? That’s not as good as last week…
Kidding aside MOA, your weekly reading is hands down the best weekly roundup around ๐ Thanx for the mention, nice to be included along 29 of the best!!
Cheers

Great article on the TFSA’s They are definitely something we plan on maxing out for our retirement plans.
Thanks too for the inclusion. World hunger is such an important an issue. The more awareness we bring to it will hopefully mean more aid.
Thanks for the inclusion… enjoy the weekend!
Thanks for the inclusions, Mark!
