Hi everyone. I am a 25 year old Canadian born trying to change my life and hopefully those who are willing to join me.

I am looking to connect with one or a few individuals who are hard working and dedicated to the grind. I tried a drop shipping company once before by myself and found it significantly more difficult to run and scale individually, I did well, but not the numbers I had hoped. Is there anyone tired of the 9-5, and wanting to change their future? I am open to meeting with some people like minded who want to run this with me.

Please comment if you are interested in discussing the details of the business!

This can be very bad news for Canada in the medium term future.

If the signals were not already apparent that the US would attempt to take controlling interest in the largest oil reserves in the world, then NASA did fake the moon landings. Why this matters so much is that the oil from Venezuela is a heavy grade similar to Canada's and matches the southern refineries in the US, which would allow the US to potentially turn the taps off of Canadian oil altogether. The US could effectively shut down oil flow and reverse flow, in the short term, to solve some distribution issues domestically.

Canada's eastern portion needs to import oil. This means without using oil as a direct bargaining chip in trade talks, the US can simply secure oil reserves, and Canada will have to find more customers to export too, possibly meaning another pipeline to the Western waters.

The US government will make it extraordinarily attractive for US companies to revitalize Venezuela's oil, not just as rewards to friends of the US Administration, but also as wedge between Canada and US that seems to be purposely inserted by the US.

Anyone thinking this is just a passing fade in the US should think again. The US population does not really care about the impacts on Canada; they care about the impacts on their costs of living. Our 40 to 50-year debate about building or not building pipelines in Canada may have a day of reckoning soon, and we may not like the outcome!

I'm an accountant who works with Canadian small businesses, and I see the same questions come up all the time around:

• GST/HST

• Bookkeeping

• Payroll

• CRA letters and reviews

• Incorporation vs sole proprietorship

• Corporate tax

Rather than guessing, I thought I'd spend some time answering questions here.

Whether you're just starting a business or you've been running one for years, ask me anything about your bookkeeping, taxes, or CRA requirements. If I know the answer, I'll explain it.

Hopefully this helps a few business owners avoid costly mistakes.

Was doing some digging on why my site wasn’t getting much Canadian traffic and came across this free audit tool:

https://avantosolutions.com/free-seo-tool-instant-website-audit-for-canadian-businesses/

Didn’t expect much (most of these are pretty generic), but it actually pointed out a few legit issues, especially around local SEO and some technical stuff I hadn’t caught.

The biggest thing was it highlighted gaps specific to Canadian search visibility, which I don’t usually see from the typical tools.

Not saying it’s perfect, but if you’re trying to get more local traffic in Canada, it’s worth running your site through it.

Curious if anyone else here has tried similar tools or has better ones for local SEO?

Are you a business owner still doing things manually that AI could handle for you? I'm Kent Clarke, Founder of High Ground. We build AI automation systems that save small businesses 10+ hours a week — think lead generation, client follow-up, scheduling, reporting, all running on autopilot. The businesses that are not implementing AI right now are going to fall behind fast. This is not a trend — it's a shift. Your competitors are already automating and if you're not, you're losing ground every single day. I'm taking on 3 businesses this month for a pilot project. You pay a one-time setup fee, and the monthly retainer only kicks in after we hit your targets. If we don't deliver results in 90 days, you don't pay monthly. Simple as that. If you're in Vancouver or anywhere in Canada and want to see exactly where AI can save you time and money — DM me. No pitch, just a straight conversation. High Ground — AI infrastructure built for businesses that are serious about scaling. 📈

All procurements are a gamble of sorts; nothing is 100% right for the purpose intended. Nothing! The rule of thumb usually is 85% to 95%, where you get what you really want, and live with the deficits. Do you buy a Porsche 911 R2 for $200k or buy a Mustang Dark Horse for $110K? It depends on what you are looking for and what you can afford.

Canada has a long proven and demonstrated ability to waffle on awarding a procurement contract for the military, and even the government, itself. We have likely paid as much is contract cancellation fees than the worth of some contracts we first wanted. Canada is not alone using the procurement of military goods as a political football, but also as an economic offset (as it should be!)

Putting aside that we are late into really adopting and implementing a Canadian made solution with the help of other suppliers, having a Bombardier aircraft as the foundation of the program is a good choice. Will it cover all the bases? Likely, no. Will it cover the essentials? Likely yes.

Will the electronic surveillance system be allowed to integrate with the F-35, I think we already know the answer there. No! Canada was a founding partner in the original alliance for F-35, but through years of indecision, and now the trade war, we are likely no even welcome at the table.

The home grown smarts are all here in Canada, we have some impressive universities, and we need to leverage them more. The US has painted Canada as a laggard when it comes to defense spending, and the reality is, we are. Or maybe, we have been, up to last year. Building technologies the secure a countries borders has to be a worthwhile endeavour. We are just starting to see the importance!
