Christmas shopping is underway in most parts of North America and a lot of consumers took advantage of Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals. So, how to not become poor in Canada? How to manage your money smartly?
Here are ten useful tips.
I used to be very excited to see snow but the novelty ran out after two of three winters there. The first snowfall is often beautiful and it’s weird to see the city blanketed in white—the change of scenery is brutal, especially when it’s very cold and snow does stay on the ground. But Canada’s harsh winters can also be a pain, a hindrance to everyday life.
I’m the kind of person who reads a book a day (and because OCTranspo is rarely on time, I have the chance to do so). Like most women, I carry my life in my bag, plus a couple of books (just in case I finish one, I like to have a backup). Some of my friends have tried to get me to switch to an eBook reader but I reacted like a granny. “It’s gonna hurt my eyes! It’s not the same as paper!” I protested.
Katherina’s motto is “Eat, Travel, Photography”—with such a tagline, it’s not wonder that I’m reading her articles religiously! Her travel blog, 100 Miles Highway, can give you a pretty bad case of wanderlust.

Follow us on the road… Welcome to the jungle!
As the joke goes in Canada, we have two seasons: winter and construction. And with winter approaching fast, the city is trying to wrap up many construction projects, but some roads are still a mess.
Between adjusting the clock backward and the short late fall days, the sun now sets around 4:30 p.m. The downsides are obvious: everyone feels tired and it’s hard to go back home in the dark. But on the plus side, we regularly get to see wonderful sunsets.
I never truly caught the online shopping bug. In fact, the only times I get up from the couch to go get my credit card in my wallet are to buy Threadless t-shirts (because they are unique) and books on Amazon (because they are much cheaper than at Chapters).
And photo products.
