Carnie's Comments It's Throwback Thursday - just a minute to remember the good old days. I'm thinking of an old childhood friend today. It's his birthday. Why I remember, how I remember that I don't know. We haven't really stayed in touch. We've exchanged an email or two over the years, but I haven't seen him for about 30.

Well, interesting then that the latest Bloomberg-Nanos Canadian Confidence Index "shows a continued improvement in sentiment among Canadian consumers". The index shows growing optimism about our economy, particularly on the Prairies and in Ontario.

Carnie's Comments It's time for some fun on Facebook Friday! I find the funnies just for you. Like this one, "Ever since my best friend became a mime, I haven’t heard from him." That same friend shares, "I used to be young and reckless. Now I'm old and resentful, which is basically the same energy but with more ibuprofen." Can you relate to this?
