Typical articles on a Canadian financial blog should include personal finance tips such as:

• Tips for saving money
• Investing
• Debt management
• Money management
• Retirement planning
• Avoiding scams
• Protecting yourself from identity theft

It goes without saying that I do not write about how to invest wisely in my Brandon Blog concerning insolvency, bankruptcy, and estate matters. Many of my articles have dealt with debt management, whether it is personal or corporate. A common theme in my personal insolvency blogs is debt from credit cards, financial literacy and the need for proper family budgeting.

I have also written about identity theft. By following the advice I give on my personal insolvency blogs, you will be solvent and have savings as you approach retirement.

Financial blog Canada: Money blogs in Canada should speak to Canadians, eh

A Canadian finance blog should offer personal finance content that speaks to Canadians, right? Indeed. In Canada, money blogs should be written by financial bloggers who are familiar with the nuances of Canadian corporate and personal finances as well as the realities of Canadian financial life. That’s why I think Canadians write the best blogs for Canadians. Hopefully, you will find that the Brandon Blog covers issues of particular interest to Canadians and is best suited to Canadian audiences.

8. 40 PARK LANE CIRCLE, 44 PARK LANE CIRCLE TORONTO FOR SALE: ARE FINANCIAL PROBLEMS CONTAGIOUS?

The Brandon Blog from March 31, 2015 remains popular. As it seems, life on Toronto’s very exclusive Bridal Path is not always as it seems. We tend to categorize those who own these properties as “the rich and famous”, when in fact some of them are “not so rich and infamous”. A couple of Bridal Path properties have attracted quite a bit of attention: #40 Park Lane Circle, formerly owned by Mahvash Lechcier-Kimel, and #44 Park Lane Circle, formerly owned by Norma Walton and Ronauld Walton.

4. SOMETIMES EVEN A BONA FIDE SHARK NEEDS BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY HELP

The April 8, 2019 blog is about a product that was featured on Shark Tank season 8. Fizzics is a machine that improves the taste and quality of beer through sound waves. Despite this, not even a Shark could save the company from insolvency and bankruptcy Chapter 11 protection. In other words, a wonderful and ingenious invention marketed by a Shark might not be of much interest to the public.

3. CREDIT CARD DEBT AFTER DEATH IN CANADA: WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?

This blog was published on August 7, 2019. Among other questions, this one is quite common when dealing with deceased estates in bankruptcy. So I thought it might make for an interesting blog to answer, what I have found to be, the most asked question dealing with what happens to debt when you die in Canada.

1. HOW TO BEAT 407 PLATE DENIAL RULES EACH AND EVERY MONTH FOREVER

In 2021, this March 10, 2021, Brandon Blog was the most read of my blogs by a wide margin. It is about other than paying your 407ETR invoice in full, the only sure-fire way of beating the 407 plate denial rules. I wrote the blog because I thought it would be helpful to GTA residents, but I did not expect it to get the readership that it has and continues to get.
