DO YOU QUALIFY FOR A 2.61% MORTGAGE?
  
My friend and colleague, Robert Klein, recently offered to review my mortgages to see if I qualified for a Prime - 1.09% mortgage.
He explained that this is a hard mortgage to qualify for under the new rules, but it's worth looking at if you do qualify for it.
If you would like to have Rob review your mortgage, feel free to contact him at robert@robertkleinmortgagegroup.com or 778.896.6732 for a free consultation.
BEWARE OF CRA SCAMS
There seems to be an uptick in telephone scams. I receive 1 to 2 robo-calls a month threatening to prosecute me for not paying taxes owed, threatening me with an arrest warrant or jail time.
Canadians have been de-frauded out of millions of dollars per year.
These criminals prey on the innocent and naive.
For more information, my lawyer Steve Fruitman with Magellan Law provided these two links:

Be aware, and call CRA first to confirm or call the Police to confirm, before you react in panic to these scams.
BINARY POWERS OF 10
I heard an interesting phrase on television "petabyte" that caught my attention so I searched for the term.
I found this table of Binary Powers of 10 that explains the evolution of our memory requirements.
We start off with the basic unit of memory as 1 bit that converts to 0.125 bytes.
1 byte = 1 character
1 kilobyte = 1,024 bytes
1 megabyte = 1,048,576 bytes (million)
1 gigabyte = 1,073,741,824 bytes (billion)
1 terabyte = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes or 1,024 gigabytes
1 petabyte = 1 quadrillion bytes or 1,000 terabytes
1 exabyte = 1,000 petabytes (5 exabytes stores all words ever spoken by humans)
1 zettabyte = 1,000 exabytes
1 yottabyte = 1,000 zettabytes
1 xonabyte = 1,000 xonabytes
1 wekabyte = 1,000 xonabytes
1 vundabyte = 1,000 wekabytes
