Prime Time Money: Canadian Roundup

Canadian Rockies

This weekend Mrs. PT and I are off to Calgary to visit a friend and possibly do some skiing.  We’re pretty excited about it as it will only be our second time visiting the friendly neighbor to our North (two years ago we visited Vancouver).  In honor of our upcoming trip, this roundup will feature some recent articles from some Canadian personal finance bloggers.

Thanks for the link.

I love going out west. I used to go every year and snowboard, but then I kind of got married, had kids etc etc etc!!

I don’t know what to do in Calgary since I never did anything when I was there. You should definitely check out the slopes although it’s a bit late in the year.

p.s. – TWA is actually American (but they sound Canadian) :)

Yeah, that’s what we’ll be doing most likely…snoboarding. Can’t wait. Although, I hope one day will be enough.

Oops…you know I thought that…your April 1st post fooled me again!

My heart just skipped a Canadian beat! What a loonie post! I’d throw you a twoonie or two if I lived near Calgary. Gee whiz, I’d even take you out to Tim Hortons just so we could Roll Up the Rim (we could win!). There’s nothing like a timbit or two between bloggers. Four Pillars will prolly call me a hoser (again) but that’s OK. Cause really, we’re just a bunch of crazy Canucks.

Have fun in Calgary Prime Time Money! Thanks so muchly for the video mention…I don’t think I said “ehh” during the taping. ;)

Thanks for the link. I’ve been to Calgary but always as a pit stop before heading to Banff. I hope you have a good time here. We desperately need American visitors with our dollar being so high and all. So, thanks for coming and I hope you have a great time here.

OK, I’m officially jealous. What beautiful scenery you have to look forward to! Enjoy your trip and have a safe return.
