BEWARE: CRA SCAMS ARE BACK
  
My Property Manager in Fort St. John, Jessica Legault, suggested spreading the word about CRA scams. It seems these scams escalate in the spring/summer months.
These fraudsters are phoning people and threatening them with arrest warrants and jail time.
Millions of dollars have been stolen from Canadian citizens.
These scams keep on going because they work. People allow themselves to be intimidated without doing proper due diligence.
The vulnerable people are the elderly who get flustered and are not thinking clearly.
Let's spread the word and reduce, eradicate this vicious scam.
CRA does not make phone calls. They only communicate by mail.

IF YOU DONT UNDERSTAND PRIVILEGE, WATCH THIS
Kudos to Alicia Turk, former manager-in-training for the Thunder Bay portfolio, who shared this powerful 4-minute video with me about privilege.
This college teacher uses a unique method to explain privilege to his students.
Life is not a fair race. I know from personal experience being a female, minority, Asian.
My close school buddies, whom I still have to this day, protected me from bullies and racism until I had the capacity and the courage to defend myself.
Life is not fair, but you with your unique talents and gifts, can make it fair.
Privilege does not guarantee success.
It's what you do with what you've got ... and the people that you surround yourself with.
KIVA: A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY
Open a KIVA account today to support micro-entrepreneurs by giving out $25 interest-free loans. It's not a donation.
KIVA is a non-profit with a 96.9% repayment rate. 100% of the money goes to the field. KIVA gets their operating funds through optional donations.
Since 2009, my focus has been on sustainable enterprises like tailoring or animal husbandry. I review each loan to assess the repayment viability just like approving rental applications.
As a result, my delinquency rate is 2.36% compared to the average KIVA user 8.44%.
Their slogan: Dreams are universal, opportunity is not.
