I do think the extra $5000 in a year into the TFSA is an interesting idea if your investments are in Canadian owned companies. I do think that the Conservatives have scored with that one. There is also the possibility that this will help especially the pipelines going across the country. Spring is coming and soon they will be able to get out there and build that pipeline right across the country making us totally self-sufficient and the 3x profit will be in Canadian pockets. The Liquid Gas plants will soon ship around the world.
The election is coming closer and closer and really it is hard to predict who will win this election. Both the Conservatives and Liberals are geared up to make us self-sufficient having being in a Free Trade Agreement with the United States and Mexico for nearly 30 years and for 40 years nearly with the United States only and before that we had the Auto Pact (1965). But we are on a new path it would appear and I have to say you can not always control the job you are in; retraining is good for everyone really. That was what the depression was about partly; retraining into new types of jobs so that our country could restart once again after the complete failure of the economic system. We did it very well here. We can again.
Yesterday I completed the main floor cleaning but a power failure meant that that was somewhat curtailed for about 3 hours give or take. It was actually down to 18 degrees celsius in the house although I normally keep it at 19.5 degrees celsius to heat so not a big deal. I just walked a lot and got all my steps readily. I do have trouble getting them all on cleaning day as I spent a lot of time not walking; just cleaning!
I also spent time on matches and will continue with that today; just a few left in the first sibling and moving on to check the 2nd, 3rd and 4th (although the fourth was mostly caught) and the fifth is complete. I am not really finding very much but for efficiency's sake it is a good plan to do this at this time. The re-phasing will start perhaps on the weekend; we will see.
Snow pretty much gone now although we might have a storm this weekend or ice or sleet; we will see. A storm is brewing apparently coming from the west and Alberta Clippers can be heavy! Northern Ontario is to get 20 plus centimetres of snow. March may well go out like a lion as it many times does. Then April and usually that is the end of the snow sometime in April although May snow is not unusual.
Lovely salmon dinner last night with mashed potatoes and broccoli. A much enjoyed meal and I will have that again tonight except salmon salad and possibly tomorrow as it was a large piece of salmon. Then chicken stew on Sunday which I really quite enjoy and it panders to my laziness where cooking is concerned. Having a prepared meal on the two days that I clean is fabulous. Not a big eater; I do not smoke or drink and seldom eat baked type goods (except my banana bread but few people would call that a dessert item as it is made with 100% whole wheat flour and more like a bread although does have brown sugar). Very tasty actually and I suppose I should make cookies as I do like a hard crispy cookie like Dad's Cookies!
Today more matches to extract and back into my regular exercise routine so calisthenics in about an hour or so. Then running before lunch, then weight lifting and perhaps biking as I haven't done a lot of that this winter. The stationery bike is a nice tool for sure.
Crisp and cold out this morning as I put out the recycling for pickup at 6:30 a.m.
