Monkeyrose Thanks for the vote of confidence. This is very true. In the Yukon territory we have a airline called Air North that does very well. It is owned mostly by the Vuntut Gwichen first nations of Old Crow. They are a fly in only community so it made business sense...

I'm not sure if any of you have heard about the Idle No More Movement. Basically what happened is that the Canadian Government passed bill c-45 which makes changes to the Indian act and takes away protection to over a million...

Monkeyrose This makes sense. In Canada it is common for older chinese people to collect bottles. Usually its when they are retired. They will walk about during the day and collect them. I think this is good because it gives the elders something to do and also gives them...

Monkeyrose Yes, up north where I live usually most people don't recycle their bottles. I used to pick bags up from my friend's house. It was a nice little way to make extra money. A lot of recyclables end up in the landfill. My friend's father used to collect them...

Monkeyrose Yeah it takes a lot of bottles here. You can make money but you have to be willing to dig in trash and stuff. I'm trying to do odd jobs but no one I know so far has odd jobs for me to do. I've advertised on facebook and craigslist. I have also told...

Monkeyrose Best buy is having a sale online. I found a cell phone for $75 and they will ship it for free. I just have to wait two weeks to get it. I'm happy... If I bought one locally it would be minimum $100 for the cheapest oldest flip phone.
