In addition to the key points talked about in this video, some highlights of the 2012 budget are as follows:
As of April 1, 2023 age of eligibility of OAS and GIS benefits will be increased from 65-67 by January 2029
Starting fall 2012 pennies will no longer be distributes, however, they can be spent. Change currently will be rounded up rather than down. (ie). if your change is 2 cents you will get a nickle back. But how long will that last?
Proposed $50 million for wildlife species at risk over two years.
$105 million to support forestry innovation and market development over two years.
$275 million for First Nations school renovations and education over three years.
Renew the Canaidan Coast Guard over 11 years for projected $5.2 billion.
Canada is projected to have a surplus of over 3 billion by the 2015- 2016 fiscal year.
Debt related resources published by your government – actually pretty good stuff.
Did you ever think to consult the Government of Canada if you are struggling with debt? While I wouldn’t suggest calling Steven Harper himself if you’re behind on your car payment, Service Canada has a resource page called “Managing Your Debt” with links to information about some of the following topic:
Today’s business review is about The Seven Drawers shop on 85th avenue and 109th street in Edmonton, Alberta. This business was based off of enabling people to truly be reflected in their homes.

I would like to thank Randy & his team for helping me through my difficult financial situation. Just when I thought bankruptcy was the only alternative a very friendly lady named Carol took me under her wing & helped me see there was a solution. Randy was very professional and nonjudgmental as he guided me through the phases. I am now working on rebuilding my credit & his team is still here for me, to answer any questions I have or just to give me a few words of encouragement.
I couldn’t have survived without them. I thank you Randy, Carol, & Charmaine.
I’m going to be completely honest with you. InCharge Canada, the debt solutions division or the major company in the States, is my direct competition. I am not one of those people who will talk about all of the negative things about a person or company just to try and score points with you. I’m not a politician. I am, however, a very dedicated and devoted turnaround consultant who has seen far too many clients come to me, or pass their story of woe to others who then relayed them to me that InCharge debt solutions in Canada did nothing to help them.

Debt settlement in Edmonton is one of the most questionablet options for residents of this wonderful city who have found themselves in a great amount of debt, behind on their bills, and unable to pay the full balance. Some of the advice that they will hear might be to declare bankruptcy and to start all over. There are two major problems with that scenario and I’d like to share them with you and explain why debt settlement in Edmonton is equally as poor an option.
The expression “Til Debt Due Us Part” is a heavy hitter. Have you ever had one of those days when you just feel like you’re never going to get out from under the mountain of debt you’re under? When you signed on the dotted line, you never thought that it was like a marriage proposal, that you were, in effect, telling the creditors ‘Til debt due us part.’ Yet here you are, all these years later wondering how you got here.
Every single person needs a budget that helps them reach their goals; whether those goals are practical or adventurous the need is still there. However, that does not mean that the application follows. With the average Canadian household overspending by 150% of their income it is safe to say that people now a days either have no budget, or do not stick to the one that they have made. We could extend the question of “Why not…” today but with a plethora of reasons and circumstances such as “it’s just not as fun”, “it’s too hard”, “sticking to a budget stresses me out”, “I have a fear of commitment”, and so on; the speculation of this question would be endless. So instead let us focus on a popular excuse: “I don’t know how to make a budget.” Read more
HSBC recently announced that after careful consideration they would be initializing the shutdown of their consumer finance business in Canada because it no longer supports their bank’s growth strategy. Because of this decision HSBC will not be accepting new loan applications but will currently continue letting their customers make purchases on their retail credit cards. HSBC says they are committed to providing the same service as previously experienced during the closing days and have provided strategies to ensure their customers are able to easily make payments on their existing loans and debts.

We all know the phrase; it’s catchy and makes everyone who hears it wonder if they are richer than they think. The slogan was put out to support a few accounts that Scotia offers which gives you extra benefits, let’s take a look at the debit accounts Scotia offers.
The main account which theoretically supports this slogan “You’re Richer Than You Think” is the “MoneyBack” debit account that entails you get the 1% money back plan, unlimited self-service transactions, two free interact withdrawals from non-Scotia AMBs in Canada, Scotia Info Alerts, and no charge for paper billing. Sounds nice except that the bonus only being 1% is 4% less than the mandatory GST you pay on every purchase in order to get the 1% back. Except the monthly account fees of $14.95. Except the fact that the 1% money back guarantee is only up to $300 a year, which when you add up the annual banking fees and subtract that from the amount of money you could get leaves you with a realistic gain of $120.60.If you add the $6/month you could potentially save if you utilized the two free AMB transactions per month and if you added what some banks charge to continue paper billing, about $2/month to the whole amount of money you are “saving” and getting back your total would only be $216.60.

We would like to thank Randy Clark and Parley Consulting.
We went to Randy six months ago for help. We were at our wits end, over our heads to credit companies. No groceries and sleepless nights.That was a quick six months of help from Randy Clark and Parley Consulting. We are now debt free and don’t owe any more money to creditors.
Thank you so very much for sharing your wisdom with me today. I hope you enjoy this little gift to experience the greatest restaurant, in my opinion, Edmonton has to offer.
You always hear about people who dread bankruptcy so much that they would rather drown in their debt subsequently stressing themselves and their loved ones out instead of filing for a way to eliminate their debts in one foul swoop. Which begs the question: why? We all know that bankruptcy is bad because it stays on your credit report for 6 years after the date of discharge; but so does everything else. Your credit report is like a scrolling list, it takes time for your bankruptcy to roll off the end just like it did for that misunderstanding between roommates regarding who was supposed to pay the phone bill that month. We all know that bankruptcy is bad because it makes it harder to get loans and obtain credit but it’s would be just as hard if you have a shot credit score and existing debts; so that can’t be the reason either. It’s probably because not all debts can be included in a bankruptcy. Any debts or payments imposed by the Court, such as child or spousal support, fines or penalties, legal awards to others or liabilities surrounding white collar crimes, student loans, and any previously entitled dividends that would have been awarded to a creditor in the event you fail to inform your trustee of that creditor are not eligible to be included in your bankruptcy, and thus will still be there after you’re done. That would definitely be a reason to think bankruptcies are bad, let’s take a look at some other factors you may not know about. Read more
