Canada Day LinkStuff And New Canadian Blog Spotlight
Happy Canada Day everyone – today’s roundup includes some blog highlights and a whole pile of links – all Canadian of course.
New Canadian Blog SpotlightThere have been a number of new blogs on the Canadian scene over the last little while so I thought it would be fun to take a look at some of them and perhaps give them a tiny bit more exposure.
Money EnergyMoney Energy is written by Clare, who is a grad student currently living in the US. She is a self-taught DIY investor with a focus on dividend growth. Here is why she started the blog:

Are experiences worth the price. Nickel and Dime tips for young people. Beware of short sighted financial decisions in your twenties. Bad money decisions in my twenties? Bah – I’m almost old enough to have forgotten about those. Financial HighwayThis blog is written by Ray and here’s what he had to say:
I have always been very interested in the financial markets and financial planning, my other passion has psychology and human behaviour and I’ve always enjoyed helping people. A few years ago I realized that I can do both as a Financial Advisor, so worked as an advisor for a while selling mutual funds, insurance products stocks etc…to clients and helped them with their financial goals. Eventually realized that the what’s in the client’s best interest is not always in my best financial interest, felt that there was too much conflict of interest and decided that there maybe better ways to help people. When I realized the conflict of interest I turned to blogging where I can provide information for free with no conflicts of interest. The purpose of the blog is to provide relevant and up to date financial information to readers, most topics are around financial planning (insurance planning, budgeting etc) however I also cover other personal finance topics I think maybe relevant to readers such as understanding credit scores and savings tips etc.
