The Northern Gateway project is a Canadian decision

Posted by Genry Read in Financial Reviews | No Comments

Not many Canadians realize the number of foreign special interest groups attempting to sway Canadian decision making. Fortunately, Kathryn Marshall has researched this for her article below and it makes for some compelling reading.

I expect that foreign funded NGOs are working hard to sway First Nations opposition through whatever means they can in this battle for public opinion as well. Personally, I love pipelines. We have one in our  backyard. The house would be very cold without it and we’d have to install a coal chute.

Check out as well. 

Troy Media - .On January 10, the federal government opens public hearings to determine whether to approve a new pipeline to deliver oil from Alberta’s oil sands to the B.C. coast

Free, Cheap And Affordable Ways To Backup Your Digital Data

Posted by Genry Read in Financial Reviews | No Comments

Even if we havent all experienced a computer or hard drive failure, weve probably at least heard of someone we know having a hard drive fail, having their home flooded or robbed or having some other disaster befall them that causes them to lose important computer files.

In this day and age there are so many free and affordable options to backup your digital data that there really should never be an excuse for not backing up your files.

After reading a post a couple of weeks ago over at BeatingBroke.com about data backup options for people on a budget, today I thought Id put together my own list of free, cheap and affordable backup options and online storage that I think people should check out.

Over the years Ive come across a lot of online and local backup options.  Here are some of the best options that Ive discovered.  Keep in mind, some of the options listed below are purely 1-1 backups of the data on your computer, while others offer space to store whatever files you want online. S

Supercar Pileup = Free Advertising

Posted by Genry Read in Financial Reviews | No Comments

The Ferrari pileup in Japan is isn’t the first example of a luxury car demolition derby. The total damage is estimated at around ~$4million.

Call me suspicious but given that the cost of a Superbowl add is ~$3million, hiring a few stunt drivers and letting them crash on the highway would create an economic benefit (as long as all the drivers survive).

When I drive my Ferrari on the highway… OK… IF I was driving a Ferrari that I miraculously owned, I don’t think I’d set myself up to pile into someone from behind.

Study: Foreclosure and Housing Crisis May Have Health Repercussions

Posted by Genry Read in Financial Reviews | No Comments

Mortgage foreclosures and the housing crisis are not only affecting Americans finances, but also their health, according to a recent study by the American Journal of Public Health (AJPH).

If you think about it, anytime you have problems with money, you probably have trouble sleeping, concentrating and maybe even eating. Stress can make you short-tempered, depressed and lead to a myriad of other problems that can wreak havoc on your body.

The focus of the study released last month was American homeowners ages 50 years and older. It is the first long-term study correlating the housing and economic crisis with health. The study findings may not be surprising, but the results are alarming. The age group of those 50 years or older were the most likely to suffer from depression when they fell behind on their mortgage payments.

Even worse, when these homeowners start having trouble making mortgage payments, they cut back spending in other necessary areas. T

8 Easy Tips To Reduce Your Electricity Bill This Winter

Posted by Genry Read in Financial Reviews | No Comments

Winter is just around the bend, and in some places you might have already seen snow. With colder temperatures come increased heating and electricity bills. While your winter electric bills might not be as high as your summer ones (especially in the south), it can still cost a great deal in the wintertime.

Luckily, there are some things that you can do during the winter, and other times, to help reduce your electricity bill while still living comfortably.

In General You Should:

1. Turn it Off: Everyone knows this, but sometimes there is a difference between knowing and doing. Turn off your lights when you leave a room and turn off the television. If you have a DVD player, a game system, or a sound system that run independently of the TV turn those off too. You can even buy a power strip that hooks all of these electronics up to one on/off switch.
