It doesn’t matter if you are trying to sell your home or simply make your house look better – curb appeal is key. Thus, if the outside of your house isn’t living up to your expectations, there is a lot that you can to improve on it. Here are the top tips for you to follow:  Improve the Landscaping  First things first, invest in the landscaping around your home. Even if you only have a lawn, make sure that it is trimmed and mown properly. If there are any brown spots or areas, consider re-planting some new grass or find a way to revive the leaves in this area.  If you don’t mind a bit of gardening, you may want to develop this area further – have different sections with various flowers, plants, and trees. An easier fix would simply to have various potted plants. You can group them together so that it looks like you have a beautifully organized and well-maintained garden. You will be surprised by how much of a difference this can make.  Fix Up the Roof  If your roof looks rough, it can take away from the beauty of the rest of your home. Not to mention, it can also make your house look older and more dilapidated than it actually is. If you find that there are repairs to be made then you may want to speak to Greg, Hamilton roofing manager to see what can be done.  Remember, roofing issues aren’t just about looks. If there are significant repairs to be made, then this can compromise the integrity and safety of this part of your home. Getting it fixed as soon as possible is key to keeping your family safe and secure.  Clean the Gutters  This is a pretty basic task, but it isn’t always easy to undertake, particularly if you have a very high roof. However, letting your gutters overflow can make your home appear as though it is not being taken care of. Furthermore, it also increases the risk of water damage to your home.  If you can’t keep up with the maintenance, then you may want to consider hiring an eavestrough service instead. This way, you can have professionals show up at your home and tackle the task for you.  Paint Your Walls, Window Frames, and Door Painting the exterior walls of your home can make quite the difference! With just a couple of coats of paint, you can make your house look brand new! Best of all, with the right tools and a ladder, you can handle this task all by yourself. If you really want to make the exterior pop, consider painting your window frames and door in a contrasting colour. This will allow them to make them stand out. This will also help your home to look more modern, even if the rest of the house has a more classic style.   These are the top things that you can do to boost the curb appeal of your home. You can try a few of these tactics or all of them for the ultimate end result!    

Congratulations if your New Year’s resolution is to get in tip-top shape, but be careful if you plan on going hiking. Even though it’s possible to hike in Canadian winters, you must know how to stay warm to survive. Don’t just walk into the wild without a care in the world. Let’s look at a few things you should remember before hiking into the unknown. If you start now, you’ll probably be an expert by the time summer rolls around. 1. Pack A Warm Lunch Don’t just take fruit and nuts when you go for a hike. Take hot stew, curry, or soup with you in a food flask. It has a wider opening than drink flasks, so you’ll be able to fit a spoon into it when you’re eating. You’ll need some coffee or tea in a drink flask too. Make sure you have something warm to eat before you leave, which will warm your stomach. You don’t want to devour your lunch before you’re a mile into the trip. 2. Carry Extra Clothes Shoes for women and men should be capable of handling low temperatures and thick snow, but you should still have a pair to slip into when you’ve finished the hike. Replace all the clothes you’re wearing back at the car. Stuff an extra pair of gloves, socks, and a hat in your backpack. If they get covered in snow/rain, you’ll want to swap them before you’re finished. Learn how to layer your clothes if it’s not something you’re used to. 3. Let The Sun Hit You I know it will be cold in winter no matter what the weather’s like, but sunlight bouncing off you will help keep you warm. Don’t start your hike in the morning when it’s dark, and get home before the sun disappears. You might need to change your route to ensure you don’t end up walking in the shade. It will also help if the forests you’re in aren’t too thick. If there are too many trees, it will be harder for solar heat to get through. 4. Hand And Toe Warmers If you keep your head warm, it’s going to keep your body warm. So it’s crucial to wear a quality hat and scarf, but you also need to keep your hands and feet warm. It’s harder for blood to reach them than other parts of your body. Invest in some hand and toe warmers, which will go inside your gloves and Rieker boots. They reach high temperatures and might last until the end of your hike. If you’re too hot, you can always take them out. 5. Picking Up The Pace You won’t be able to walk as slow as you do in spring or autumn. In winter, you need to keep walking at a pretty quick pace. If you’re feeling a little cold, you can pick up the pace until your body temperature increases. It’s also a bad idea to stop as often. If you’re tired, you can take a break for 5 minutes, but you’re going to get cold standing around. Don’t walk too far if you don’t think you’ll make it back to your car without a struggle. It’s Only A Few Months You only have to take extra precautions for a few months. Once the temperature starts going up, it’s easier to hike without worrying about the weather.  

Personal injury lawyers have received lots of negative press over the years, so it’s hard for the average person to trust them. It’s a shame because you could be missing out on lots of money you’re legally entitled to. It’s impossible to say what will happen in the future, but I bet you’d like to be armed with knowledge that could pay dividends. Let’s focus on a few lesser-known things about personal injury claims nobody wants you to know. 1. It’s Not Just Car Accidents You don’t have to be involved in a car accident before you can claim money. Maybe you’ll be bitten by your neighbor’s dog when you’re walking to work. You could trip on the pavement because it’s got a hole in it. A doctor could mess up while operating on you during a hospital visit. Personal injury lawyers like to talk about car accidents in their ads, but speak to someone whenever you suffer an injury through no fault of your own. 2. Lawyers Deal With Tough Calls Steven Polak, personal injury lawyer, says most of his clients don’t realize he will deal with their tough calls. If you’re an introvert you might be scared to make a claim, because you don’t want to talk to insurance bulldogs. Once you hire the services of a good lawyer, they’ll deal with all the scary calls for you. Insurance companies won’t be able to use scare tactics with professionals, so you’re more likely to get your money fast. 3. Getting The Best Deal Possible If you do anything by yourself, it’s hard to know what you deserve. When an insurance company offers you a good amount of money, you might be afraid to say no. You’ll end up settling for less than you truly deserve. Lawyers have worked on hundreds of cases, so they’ll have a better idea of what you’re entitled to. A good lawyer will give you the confidence to keep going until you’re offered a fair settlement. 4. Willing To Go The Distance Sometimes an insurance company might reject your claim outright. If you want money, you’ll need to file a lawsuit. When mediation doesn’t work you could find yourself in the middle of a trial, so you’ll definitely need a lawyer. Your personal injury lawyer will be with you every step of the way. It’s great if you’re paying them on a ‘no win, no fee’ basis. Luckily, if you’re genuinely injured, there is only a small chance you’ll go to trial. 5. Your Case Will Be Investigated A lawyer is going to treat your case like a little investigation. They will work hard to get to the bottom of everything. I’m sure they’ll reach out to you regularly because you’ll need to answer any questions they have. Once a lawyer has investigated the facts of your case, it’s going to help you get a better settlement. If it does go to court, it could mean the difference between winning and losing. Nobody else is going to work as hard for you. Don’t Be Afraid To Reach Out You need to claim within a certain time period, so I’d reach out to a personal injury lawyer if you’ve been injured.    

It’s been almost impossible to throw a decent bachelor party in the last few years, but it won’t be long until they come back with a bang. Spend time planning the perfect party now, which will guarantee it goes off without a hitch. Have you spent much time thinking about what you’re going to do? It’s the perfect way to banish those pandemic blues, so you better make it a good one. Let’s look at some bachelor party ideas that will blow everyone away. 1. Visit A Smash Room If you want to release a little energy, you should visit a smash room before going clubbing at night. Someone will fill a room with lots of glass, electronics, appliances, and other crap. You’ll also get some bats and axes. The aim of the game is to smash up everything inside the room until it’s completely destroyed. You will feel like you’ve just gone twelve rounds with Mike Tyson by the time you’ve finished. Thankfully, someone else will clean it all up. 2. Hire A Fancy Boat Every time you open the newspapers, you see millionaires chilling on fancy yachts in the Mediterranean Sea. I doubt you’ll be able to afford a luxury yacht, but you can still hire a boat for the day at Lake Ontario. There is something special about drinking ice-cold beers while surrounded by water. It’s dangerous when you’re drinking and boating laws will keep you safe. Once you get back on dry land, you can hit a nightclub. 3. Beating An Escape Room Escape rooms are a great way to send your brain into overdrive. Do you think you would be able to escape from a room before you die by solving difficult puzzles? At least you’ll have your bachelor party friends to help out. If you love video games with lots of puzzles, an escape room will feel like the best night out ever. Not only is it extremely challenging, but some people will find it scary. Wait until you’ve finished before you start drinking. 4. Go Skydiving Indoors Jumping out of an airplane is risky because something could always go wrong, but you can still experience skydiving if you’re scared. Indoor skydiving facilities use wind tunnels to throw you up into the air. You will feel like you’re a superhero flying through the sky as the wind smashes into your face. Most places will let you fly for around sixty seconds, and you will definitely hit the nightclubs with a lot more confidence. 5. Tasty Craft Beer Tour In the past, people didn’t really have much choice when it came to beers. Now there are millions of craft beers on sale around the world, and Toronto has a few good ones. Once you taste them, you’ll fall in love with each one. A craft beer tour is the best way to find your favorite fast. Not only is it a great way to spend time with friends, but you’ll walk out a little tipsy. Just make sure you’re able to stand for the nighttime activities. Make Sure It’s Perfect Most people don’t get to experience too many bachelor parties in their lifetime, so make sure you throw the perfect party.    

Are you scared to go into the basement because it’s full of junk? I think it’s time you get rid of everything, which means you’ll have an empty room just sitting there. You will finally be able to turn it into something beautiful. Ask everyone in your family what they’d like to do with the basement. If you get started soon, you’ll finish it before spring arrives. Here are a few cool ideas to get your imagination running wild. 1. Create A Wine Cellar If you enjoy the taste of wine, you’ll love having a wine cellar at home. It’s supposed to be kept under the ground anyway. Make sure you have a table and chairs in the basement where you can hold wine-tasting parties. Chill out with your friends at the weekend while your children watch TV upstairs. It’s a good excuse to start collecting rare wines from across the world. Just make sure you keep the best ones for special occasions. 2. Build A Relaxation Room It might be too much to build a swimming pool when you’re carrying out basement renovations, but a relaxation room is the next best thing. You can install a hot tub, infrared sauna, and sensory deprivation tank. When you’re tired after a long day at work, it’s the perfect place to spend your night. Tubs, saunas, and tanks also come with dozens of health benefits. Everyone in your family will go to bed stress-free every night. 3. A Soundproof Music Room It’s difficult to turn the volume up too loud when you’re listening to music. You can expect one of the neighbours to call the police, and they’ll end up knocking on your door. Luckily, there is a way to crank up the volume. Turn your old basement into a soundproof music room. You’ll be able to relax while listening to music that might burst your eardrums. You can also use a soundproof room to play video games with the volume up. 4. Spend Time Creating Art Artists shouldn’t be forced to sit at the dining room table when they’re drawing/painting. If you love creating masterpieces, you should do it inside your very own art studio. You’ll have lots of room to express yourself freely. It’s the perfect place to create large sculptures if you don’t want to get the rest of your home messy. Fill the room with large computer screens if you’re into graphic design. Create whatever kind of art makes you feel alive. 5. Big Game-Day Theatre Room If you love watching football, you should start watching it in style. Get the biggest television that will fit on your basement wall. Have you ever seen a wide receiver catch a ball on a screen big enough for a movie theater? All your family will be able to sit on the couch cheering on your team every week. Watch all your favorite sports in the room. On the weekends, you can watch the best TV shows and movies on Netflix instead of going out. It’s Worth It In The End I know it’s going to be a few months before you can enjoy your new room, but it will be worth it in the end. Start your renovation project as soon as you decide what to create.    

It’s easier than ever to start a charity these days. If you know how to use social media, you can reach tens of millions of people. It’s amazing because you don’t need to look far to find someone in desperate need of help. Just make sure you’ve got good insurance from the start. It’s still essential even if you’re an up-and-coming charity that’s not bringing in lots of money. Let’s look at a few reasons why you don’t want to skip it. 1. Cyber Warfare Is Coming State-sponsored hacking is rife at the moment, and it’s only going to get worse in the coming years. Countries like Russia, China, and Iran will do everything possible to cause chaos by hacking into western businesses. It’s why we’ll all need cyber insurance going forwards. You might assume it’s only going to happen in the U.S. or that you’re too small to be attacked. I wouldn’t take any risks when you’re handling credit card information. 2. Volunteers Making Claims When you hire employees, you usually spend a long time vetting them. During the interview stage, you get a good idea of what they’re like. It’s harder to ensure the volunteers you hire don’t cause problems while at work. If volunteers (or employees) misbehave, you’ll be the one facing a lawsuit. You don’t want to spend money on a payout when it could go towards helping people. Business insurance services in Canada will keep you safe. 3. Throwing Special Events Throwing fundraisers is a good way to generate money fast. You’ll usually be inviting guests to events you’re throwing at various venues. Who do you think will get into trouble if a member of the public gets hurt? I bet they’ll try to hold you responsible for any injuries they suffer. Your guests might get drunk and cause damage to a hotel, which they’ll blame on you. If something happens, you don’t want the charity to lose the money you raise. 4. Buildings Are Vulnerable When you run a charity in certain states, you need to protect yourself from natural disasters. Will a forest fire or tornado destroy the roof of your office? Someone could set fire to your building because they’re upset with you. It’s not easy to pay for building repairs out of your own pocket. Offices can sometimes be dangerous places too. One of your suppliers could injure themselves while they’re walking around your building making deliveries. 5. Giving Out Medical Advice Some charities offer services as opposed to just collecting money. A perfect example is running a suicide hotline to help save lives. When employees speak to callers, they’ll be giving them advice that might cause them harm. Someone might decide to take you to court if they have a grievance with the charity. It’s scary giving out advice when you know it’s possible to be sued. When you have insurance employees won’t need to worry about messing up. Keep Yourself Covered So many things can go wrong when you’re running a charity, so make sure you’re fully covered. You’ll be able to sleep a lot more soundly at night.

According to CasinoScout.ca playing online casino games is completely legal in Canada and its residents love indulging in them. Although the popularity of online casinos is ever-growing across the world, there are still several people sceptical about registering for a casino site and playing the games in it. Despite the age we are, there are still people who are apprehensive about using their money to play games on any online site. However, online casinos are usually safe, secure and reliable as they are always licensed by a reputable gambling authority like the UK Gambling Commission, Kahnawake Gaming Commission or the Malta Gaming Authority. The license ensures that online casino sites or apps are safe and fair. Regardless, you must carry out some research before you sign up to a casino site if you wish to make the most of the experience. Casino Games When it comes to exploring online casinos, you’ll find out that games are one of the most important factors on these platforms. This is the pivotal reason for the existence of online casinos, and there are lots of top-quality games available in them to keep you occupied and entertained. These games include slots, Blackjack, Roulette, Poker, and many more. There is a huge library of games in each of the online casinos available in your Canadian province, so it is quite easy to develop more than two favourites. Before you start playing a casino game with your real money, most platforms will allow you to play the game in demo mode. This way, you’ll be able to familiarise yourself with the rules of the game and what it has to offer in terms of cash. It is always advisable to play demo mode before wagering your money. Casino Bonuses Ever since the emergence of online casinos in the gambling industry, bonuses became a popular way to lure in new players to a platform. It is also the best way to ensure the loyalty of players to a certain platform. Most sites often gift a welcome bonus to new players right after registering with them. These bonuses come in all kinds like free spin offers and big matched deposit bonuses. Before you decide on the Canadian casino you wish to play at, you should first be looking at the promotions page to see what they have to offer. You also need to read through all the terms and conditions that are attached to these bonuses. While some casino bonuses might look great in the eye, they often come in hand with restrictions that make it hard for the player to utilise them. Risk Playing an online casino game with your real cash means you’re risking your own money for a chance to multiply your cash for yourself. While it is possible to win a huge amount of money, the chances of losing a lot are just as high. So before you start playing, you should ensure that you have full knowledge of what you’ll be risking and what it means. If you want to ensure you lose the least amount of cash while playing an online casino game, you should always take full advantage of the bonuses and promotions being offered to you. Setting up a monthly, weekly or daily budget will also go a long way in your online casino journey. While playing at Canadian online casinos are often fun and exciting, the first step is picking the right online casino. Always ensure that any casino you choose to play at is licensed by a reputable gambling authority.

We are all well-familiar with the cities that never sleep like Paris, Cairo, New York City, and Istanbul. Although the nightlife can be extremely fun, wild, and exciting, many residents of such cities struggle to get a good quality sleep. This can cause major hindrances in their work and family life, along with other serious health problems too. Therefore, people look for different ways that help them get healthy sleep at nighttime, such as getting appropriate bedding, including a moisture-wicking cooling pillow or a supportive mattress. In case you are looking for other tips to help you sleep better in a city that never sleeps, read this article! Drown Out Urban Noise Noisy neighbours, busy streets, and loud music can all contribute to disrupting sleep, especially if you live in an urban city. Hence, it’s essential to look for ways that can help you cope with this situation. Keep your windows shut. Although you may feel the urge to open your house windows just a little to allow a cool breeze of air, it can restrict your healthy sleep. Therefore, you must completely shut your windows to block any noise.    Invest in a white noise machine. Investing in a white noise machine can help you cancel out noise. An alternative to a white noise machine can be a running fan or an air conditioner for similar sound effects. Play soft sounds of nature on your phone. If you’re the kind of person who sleeps better with natural sounds such as rain, rustling leaves, or ocean waves, you can download such apps on your smart device and connect it with a Bluetooth speaker. Use earplugs. Another great way to limit noise disruption in a city that’s always awake is to use earplugs. Make sure they are comfortable and fit perfectly to prevent discomfort. Looking for earplugs with a maximum of 32 decibels rating can block out loud urban noise but will still keep you aware of fire alarm, wailing baby, or morning alarm. Block Out Bright Street Lights Another problem in big cities that many residents face is bright lights sneaking through their bedroom windows. Although this isn’t something that can’t be solved, it still can be a major factor affecting an individual’s sleep without them knowing. To combat this issue, you can replace your light curtains or blinds with blackout curtains. You can also use a soft amber glow light in your room in case you need a some light in your room to sleep better. Limit Late Night Outs in the City All the rock music playing in the streets and people having fun in the bars may lure you into staying a bit more in the city, and this may turn into hours. And then it will be too late for you to realize that you are past your bedtime. If your body’s circadian rhythm (sleep-wake cycle) gets disturbed, you will find it hard to wake up feeling fresh and energized in the morning due to you having a rough night with countless tosses and turns. Hence, you must be back home when it’s your bedtime to keep your circadian rhythm balanced and shift your hangouts in the evenings, even on the weekends.    

Philanthropy is a major part of wealth management and one of the major reasons why entrepreneurs like Nicholas Kyriacopoulos from Montreal strive to earn the money they have. The ability to give back to the community is a meaningful incentive to become engaged in the business world. Many people like to keep their money local: here is an overview for Toronto residents of charities that they can find in their area. Youth and Education While it may be financially impossible to donate to every charity in Toronto, philanthropists like Nick Kyriacopoulos choose areas of focus and concentrate on those. Children’s charities and educational institutions can always benefit from donations. Organizations like Harmony Movement combat bias and strive for inclusion in all of Canada’s schools, while institutions like the Toronto School of Theology and the Toronto Heschel School allow you to support schools with educational philosophies that appeal to you. For higher education, the UTS Alumni Association allows you to support those in search of college degrees. Other youth-focused charities that are not exclusively about education include beneficial organizations like the Toronto Kiwanis Boys & Girls Clubs. Health and Wellness Many people struggle with medical problems, it can be a great help to financially contribute to breakthroughs in the fight against many serious diseases. Cancer is a major killer across every population, and there are plenty of Toronto charities to help fight it. These include the Canadian Cancer Society and After Breast Cancer. Charities that don’t fight cancer, but which are also just as important as those that do, include the Canadian Hearing Society, Food Allergy Canada, and the Ostomy Toronto Corporation. Environmental Charities The world faces an environmental crisis like never before, and philanthropy can enable charities to make an impact on the future. Nonprofit organizations like Earth Day Canada, Forests Ontario, Swim Drink Fish Canada, and the Nature Conservancy of Canada all contribute to environmental causes. Each of these organizations provides people, resources, and research to help solve the ongoing problems of climate change, deforestation, and other natural dangers. Animals Our furry and not-so-furry friends often run into times of need as well, and many people strive to use their generosity to make sure that no pets or animals suffer unnecessarily. Toronto pet-related charities include some that are breed-specific, such as the Basset Hound Rescue of Ontario or the Canadian Chihuahua Rescue and Transport. There are also general charities that focus on the wellbeing of all pets or animals as a whole, such as Peace Fur Paws, Inc., Pets in Danger, and the Toronto Cat Rescue. All of these charities make a worthy target for philanthropy. This listing only scratches the surface of potential philanthropy options in the Toronto area. With hundreds of charities and causes to give to, a little research into your personal values can allow you to influence an area of humanity that will help make the world a better place. This is the reason why entrepreneurs like Nicholas Kyriacopoulos do what they do; it allows them to use their wealth to spread support and joy for everybody.

I know you’ve had a terrible time over the last few years, but renters have been through a lot too. It’s not easy to sleep at night when you fear ending up on the street, so you should make their lives as stress-free as possible. You’ll increase your reputation as a great landlord, which could pay dividends in the future. It’s easy to ensure your properties are full when everyone respects you. Here are a couple of good ways to start making your tenants smile. 1. Respect Their Privacy Nobody is going to call a landlord dispute lawyer if you knock on their door, but they don’t want to hear from you. It doesn’t matter how much you enjoy talking to them. Every tenant deserves the right to privacy. You’ll probably need access to their home a few times per year, but make sure you give them proper notice. If you don’t see them walking around, send a letter/email asking them to call to arrange something. 2. Deal With Bad Tenants It’s not just you that needs to deal with bad tenants. If you own multiple homes in the area, your other tenants will need to deal with them too. It’s almost impossible to turn a terrible tenant into a good one. While you’re waiting, they’re just going to make everyone unhappy. It’s best to dispose of bad seeds as soon as possible. Make sure you follow the rules when throwing them out to avoid anything bad from happening. 3. Wait To Raise The Rent Raising the rent isn’t a guarantee you’ll earn more money. Once you increase the prices, your rental units might stay empty a few months per year, which could leave you with the exact same money when all is said and done. Only one of those options is going to leave you with a happy tenant. I’m not saying it’s a bad idea to raise the rent but play around with the numbers first. Tenants are desperate to save money right now thanks to covid. 4. You Don’t Need Friends If you’ve already got friends in your life, you don’t need to be friends with tenants. Once you become too friendly with someone, they might start pushing their luck. When you reject them, they’ll be very disappointed. It could cause serious trouble once you’ve fallen out, so keep the relationship as professional as possible. You can still be friendly with someone without being best friends, so don’t ask tenants to hang out. 5. Fix Any Problems Fast When something goes wrong at home, you’ll fix it straight away. If your tenant has a problem, it’s easy to delay the repairs because you don’t appreciate how frustrated they are. Sitting around waiting could drive them crazy. Repairs will need to be carried out anyway, so it’s pointless waiting until the last minute. It’s not just a good way to keep your tenants happy. When you repair something straight away it’s not going to get worse. You Won’t Regret It You don’t need to believe in karma to know being a good landlord will help you. In most cases, happy tenants are the best ones by far.    

Do you worry about coming up against bears, cougars, and wolves? It makes sense because each one could tear you apart under certain circumstances. But the real problematic animals you should be worried about are much smaller. Certain pests will destroy your home if you give them too much leeway. At best, they make your home a less enjoyable place to live when they appear. Let’s discuss some of the most annoying pests you’ll come up against. 1. Bed Bugs You might need help getting bed bugs away if you don’t clean your house properly. If you own a business, you’ll need Toronto commercial pest control services too. A vacuum cleaner is your best friend in the fight against bed bugs. Ensure you vacuum every hard surface on a regular basis. The water should be very hot when you wash bed linens. Bed bugs spend their lives sucking on your blood, so do everything possible to avoid a horrid infestation. 2. Raccoons I know raccoons look like the cutest animals in the world, but they’re actually aggressive little ninjas. If a raccoon is irritable, you don’t want to run into it when you’re taking the trash out at night. When you see raccoons they’ll probably be throwing garbage all over your garden path. They love nothing more than rummaging through trash cans. You also need to make sure they’re unable to build a comfortable den inside your attic. 3. Ants Opening a bag of rice filled with thousands of ants is heartbreaking, especially when you’re really hungry. During the warmer months, it’s difficult to keep ants away from your kitchen, plus your bathroom is sometimes vulnerable too. If you wash surfaces regularly, you’ll only keep ants at bay for a while. Don’t leave any open food sources lying around in your kitchen. Finally, if you see ants appearing from any holes/cracks you should close them up straight away. 4. Rodents Rats can spread horrible diseases, which have killed tens of millions of people throughout history. Rats and mice can cause lots of damage if they’re allowed to eat through wires and insulation in your home. They’ll actually eat through anything they come up against. Mice droppings look similar to small bits of rice, whereas rat droppings are a lot bigger. If you see lots lying on the floor, you’ll know there is a problem. 5. Cockroaches Everyone is usually terrified of cockroaches for some strange reason. Cockroaches run away as fast as possible like other pests, but they will attack your feet. If you have food lying around, it’s going to tempt them. You’ll need to wipe surfaces once you’ve eaten your meals too. It’s unlikely you’ll see them unless you’re awake at night because they’re nocturnal. Keep your lights on so they disappear into the shadows. Small Animals Are Scarier Smaller animals are a lot scarier because they give you the heebie-jeebies. Do everything possible to keep them away from your home, which might mean putting in more effort from now on.  

Your doors and windows play a key role in the security, aesthetics, and adding worth to your house. For example, when visitors visit your home, they first see your front door so it needs to be eye-catching. Guests often remember the front door when they refer to a house. Your front door may become embarrassing for you if its appearance is not attractive. So, make sure your front door and windows are pleasing for the visitors, and for that, you can rely on Canadian Choice Windows & Doors.  The appearance of windows and doors may change over time due to weather elements, but nothing to worry about them. You can simply follow some tips to renovate your doors and windows. Let’s have a look at these tips.  1. Finishing and painting  Painting is not just stroking the paintbrush anywhere. It requires precision for obtaining the best outcomes after completion of work. It must be shiny without any rough lumps. Ideally, you should first take off the old paint when painting a door or a window. The old paint is always inconsistent and peeled, which can make the fresh paint look ugly. So, remove the worn-out paint first to get a smooth finish of fresh paint.  Wear and tear can cause gaps and dents in your old doors and windows. But nothing to worry as you can easily fix them with the help of a wood filler. Any discolouration in your door or window can be removed by using a primer. After that, apply an undercoat. You can also use a roller to apply paint to avoid brush strokes impressions on your door or window. Rollers are available in various sizes, so you can buy a roller according to your budget.  A good tip is painting the door in intervals i.e. waiting for each coat to dry, and then applying the next coat. It may take a week to paint a door based on the climate. Once the final coat is done, wait for a day before using it if it’s warm outside. You may have to wait for two to three days during cold weather to let the door dry completely.  2. Hardware updates for doors and windows  Hardware are the parts of windows and doors. They include hinges, handles/knobs, letterboxes, and home numbers. They also require genuine work so that the door looks good with new paint.  Hinges  You don’t have to detach the door for replacing current hinges. Rather, detach and replace every hinge at a time. Make sure to select matching hinges to provide support to the door. Big hinges require adjustments in the free space.  Knobs/handles Replacing an old handle is also carried out in door renovation. Look for a reputed Canadian Choice Windows & Doors manufacturer to get perfect knobs or handles. The size of the handle should be a perfect fit so that gaps are not left in the  area. Even a small gap will make your door look ugly and more vulnerable to burglars. Here the tip is to select a slightly big handle than old one for covering the space.    

It may be surprising to some, but Canada is currently one of the hottest markets for casino games. The number found online can be overwhelming – and it’s often difficult to work out what the most popular options are. To help out, we’ve assembled a range of games that are popular with Canadian players below. Mega Moolah This is a massively popular progressive jackpot slot game. It’s had a large number of different winners over the years, with some of the biggest prizes in the world awarded through this game. It’s available at a range of different online casinos that can be found at this CasinoSource.ca list – who will also help out with the tough choice of where to play, thanks to their extensive reviews. But what does it offer? Well, at first glance, it’s a fairly simple video slot game. It doesn’t really offer a huge amount in terms of features. To the untrained eye, many people might think that it’s nothing special. However, Mega Moolah has a secret weapon. The progressive jackpot here can be activated at any time during the game. When it happens, you will have the opportunity to win a number of different jackpots. When they appear, it means that players can win one of four jackpots. And the biggest prize is often for life-changing amounts.  An anonymous Belgian player earlier this year took home the largest ever single-spin slot win, with €19.4 million – from just a €15 stake. It’s thanks to this kind of story Mega Moolah will remain popular for a long time to come. Blackjack Blackjack has long been used as an analogy for different aspects of life, but the fact remains that it is a hugely popular casino game for Canadian players. A big part of this is blackjack’s reputation as a skill-based game – there’s a mathematical system that can improve your odds. While this injection of skill into the casino is a welcome breath for many, it does mean that playing optimally requires a great deal more effort than simply throwing your chips down on red at the roulette table. It’s not a negative necessarily, as many players enjoy the process of becoming good at blackjack. The level of skill involved means that players are always likely to enjoy blackjack on a consistent basis. Starburst Starburst is without a doubt one of the most popular video slots of all time. It has a great re-spin feature available, which allows players to grab some big wins. It also turns reels completely wild which can provide some massively impressive wins.  Starburst has been on the market for a long time at this point, but it has remained hugely popular. This may seem a little bit strange to some people, especially as there are other titles out there that have newer and more impressive features in place.  Despite this, Starburst is still hugely popular and is very well-loved by Canadian players.  Roulette Roulette is without a doubt one of the most iconic games in the world. It’s a well-known game across a number of different casino venues. While it might be better associated with Monte Carlo, a visit to Monaco isn’t exactly an evening activity, so the online equivalent is still very popular with Canadian online casino players.  What’s great about roulette is that it gives players one of the biggest betting choices on the market. There is a wide range of different bets offered, going from small to larger payouts. This gives players a lot of choice and means there are a lot of ways to play roulette. There are also some famous betting strategies that can be used with roulette. This gives players a little more choice in terms of how they play the game. Combined with the fun from spinning the wheel, this makes roulette hugely popular.  Live dealer game shows Live dealer game shows are some of the newest offerings on the market. What makes them so different is that they put players right into the shoes of a game show contestant, making great use of modern technology.  Players can take part in different types of shows, all featuring a live host. Some even have licensing arrangements with real-life game shows, such as Family Feud, or Deal or No Deal. For anyone who wants to be on a game show, but hasn’t been able to do so, this will be right up your street. They’ve already become shockingly popular in the short time they’ve been available. This is helped of course by a culture that reveres the humble game show, but the real draw is that there are some legitimately impressive prizes available.  With high-quality video streams and fast internet, players can really feel like they are in the game show. Canadian players love live dealer game shows, and as more are released, it’s likely to continue to be the case.    

In the vast world of fame, Hollywood and celebrities, the lines can get blurry, and it gets easy to paint with a broad brush. More often than not today, we just assume that people we see on the red carpet, on the movie screens or in the magazines are American. Some celebrities, primarily actors, can mask their native accent and do so when playing certain roles.  Others we just straight up pin as Americans, because what else would they be? This sounds super irrational, but you will see after watching our list that you probably are as guilty of doing this as the rest of us. Let’s get into it!  Keanu Reeves  One of the most down-to-earth and well-liked celebrities in Hollywood. The John Wick and Matrix actor holds Canadian citizenship but has actually bounced around the globe. Keanu was born in Lebanon and moved to Australia and later to New York with his family. However, the family later settled in Toronto, where he then grew up.  Jim Carrey The hilarious comedian and actor is often pinned as a purebred American. However, Jim Carrey is actually a dual citizen, with one foot in Canada and another in America. Jim was born and grew up in a Toronto suburb of Newmarket, Ontario. He spent most of his years growing up around Ontario, perfecting his impressions and comedy. It wasn’t until he was a late adolescent he started testing the depths of the water in Hollywood. We were just as surprised as you when we found out that this hysterical genius wasn’t born in America. Seth Rogen  The iconic stoner, comedian, director and actor Seth Rogen was born in Vancouver, Canada. Seth grew up in Canada and has also stated numerous times that he definitely associates more with being a Canadian despite his dual citizenship. He did not venture out of the country until he was around sixteen. After landing a role on a television show called freaks and geeks, Seth became close with Judd Apatow, which prompted him to take on America. Like most comedians, he relocated to LA and became the primary breed winner for the family at the age of sixteen.  Drake  This may be obvious to some, but the rap artist, singer, and actor Aubrey “Drake” Graham was born in Canada and currently still has an impressive estate in Toronto. Like many other celebrities, he has dual citizenship, but Drake is quite vocal about his love for Canada and specifically Toronto. He even has a restaurant in the city. He is, first of all, the biggest rapper out of Canada, and he makes sure to let his listeners know that it is frequently dropped in lyrical references to the city of Toronto, or as Drake calls it, the six. Another fun fact to display his Canadian and Toronto patriotism is that Drake is almost always sitting courtside on the Toronto Raptors home games in the NBA. No one is a bigger mascot for the team than the famous rapper. Shawn Mendes   We know what you were thinking, “Justin Bieber will be on this list, and we all already know that he is Canadian.” Well, we anticipated that and instead added another younger, good-looking, recently single pop star. The 23-year-old singer was born in Pickering, Ontario. He has an interesting heritage, though with a father from Algarve, Portugal, and England’s mother.  He started his career in Canada learning how to play guitar by watching Youtube videos. His career took off after becoming famous on Vine in 2013, and the rest is history. Today Shawn Mendes is a global heartthrob, but he still has not forgotten where he came from.  Elon Musk  Elon Musk has such an unidentifiable accent, it feels like a mismatch of several accents. One cannot exactly pinpoint where the richest man in the world is from by just listening. It takes some more research, and we are here to tell you that he is Canadian. Musk, interestingly enough, holds three citizenships, which may explain his “melting pot” of accents. Elon was born in South Africa and grew up there. He did not move to Canada until University, where he then went on to attend Queens University. His mother, Maye Musk, is also a Canadian.  Concluding Remarks Sometimes it is easy to be fast to judge; we are just so used to painting with a broad brush without giving it a second thought. After taking a closer look, one can see that many people in the public eye are Canadian. This article was just scratching the surface. We bet you didn’t know about our honorable mentions either. There’s so many though that you’d think betting platforms like Viabonus.com might have some kind of book running..  Now to conclude, our honorable mentions that did not make our list were Ryan Gosling (London, Ontario), Michael Bublé (Burnaby, British Columbia), Rachel McAdams (London, Ontario), Ryan Reynolds (Vancouver, British Columbia) and Matthew Perry (Ottawa, Ontario).      

To begin, let’s clarify the definition of the phrase “best” and “greatest”. Kawhi Leonard is without a question the best Raptors athlete ever, but that isn’t how we measure excellence or greatness. Factors like durability, charisma, victory, and the “it” factor must be considered while determining the best players of all time. In my opinion, there is a lot more room for dispute regarding the ranking, so don’t be surprised if you disagree with us. Here are the four best Toronto Raptors of all time. 1. Kyle Lowry – Point Guard Lowry joined the Raptors in 2012 and became a 6 time all-star. No one could ever forget his look when the Raptors reached their 1st finals and then triumphed. No Raptor I’ve seen before has Lowry’s toughness and passion to compete for his squad. Kyle gives it everything. He scores, incorporates teammates, recovers, directs, and most importantly, he delivers. Lowry leads the Raptors in assists, interceptions, overall win-shares, and postseason wins. Lowry has proven time and time again that he will do everything it takes to succeed, particularly in Toronto. Although his best buddy (DeMar) was exchanged for Kawhi, he embraced the transfer and got the job done with Kawhi, which contributed to the Raptors’ title win. He let Kawhi get to be the main shooter on a squad which was always going to lead, but he understood when to step it up. Lowry delivered the Raptors’ first 11 baskets and 21 during the first half of the Championship game, maintaining them inside the game as others battled. From DeRozan to Kawhi, Lowry has been the captain of the team, but we also want him to continue until he departs. Kyle Lowry is the best Raptor of all time and will remain in the near future, making him and the Toronto Raptors very popular in the betting industry, in one of the best online casinos currently. 2. DeMar DeRozan – Power Forward / Small Forward He was the first superstar to actually love Toronto, while Toronto adored him. DeMar has become the Raptors’ pulse since being chosen in 2009. Few players (really just one) were as revered by the Raptor fans as DeRozan.  After Bosh left, DeMar ramped up his game, going from 8.6 up to 17.2 points a match in his 2nd season. During his first all-star campaign in 2013-14, DeRozan never scored fewer than twenty points a match for Toronto. Each year, DeRozan gave his all for the Raptors, but they would not go past the first round. Masai Ujiri, club president, determined it was time to make a change just after Cavaliers defeated them for the third year running. He pushed on from DeRozan to another guy on this ranking, and it paid off. 3. Kawhi Leonard – Shooting Guard / Small Forward Masai Ujiri dealt Jakob Poeltl, DeMar Derozan, and a 1st round selection for dissatisfied sensation Danny Green and Kawhi Leonard. Kawhi’s desire to compete in Toronto, and also his ability to remain fit, were questioned. Both concerns proved unjustified. Kawhi arrived in Toronto and started working, and the Raptors management took great care of Leonard, featuring him in just 60 games to save him again for the playoffs. Leonard improved his skills in the playoffs during an all year scoring 26.6 points and around 7.2 rebounds. Kawhi scored 30.5 points and around 9 rebounds inside the 2019 finals, featuring remarkable efforts even against Bucks in the title game. We’ll never forget the match 7 buzzer beater against Joel Embiid that sent the Raptors towards the championship game. Kawhi guided the first Raptors squad to the finals and a six-game triumph out over the Warriors to earn their first title. Even though it was only 1 season, it was the Raptors’ greatest yet. Kawhi is the second most successful Raptor ever. 4. Vince Carter – Shooting Guard / Small Forward Some may claim Vince is ranked too poorly on this ranking, which is fair. Air Canada Carter made Toronto famous in the NBA. He was later traded to Toronto for Antawn Jamison. His elevated, picture-perfect style made him a fan favourite in his debut season with the Raptors. Carter was awarded 3rd team all-NBA in his second season, accumulating 25.7 goals per game. During his 3rd season, He scored over 27 points a game and also was chosen in the NBA second team, guiding the Raptors to the league semi-finals against Champion Allen Iverson as well as the 76ers. Throughout the series, Carter and Iverson traded blows, forcing a tiebreaker. Carter infamously looked forward to joining his college graduation the day of game 7 before returning for the ballgame. After a difficult fight, Carter missed a jumper at the clock which would have taken the Raptors to their first NBA finals. After a couple more all-star campaigns as well as some issues among Carter and Raptors administration, Carter got dealt to the Nets. Even though Vince Carter’s time in Toronto was cut short, he was the very first athlete to provide significant relevance to Canada’s sole NBA franchise.    

If you’re looking to try Canadian online casinos you’ve come to the right place. Yes, online casinos are legal in Canada (provided that they are officially licensed). However, every casino has its pros and cons. Before you pick your next online casino, check out our list of the top 5 things you should know about online casino games in Canada. 1. Gaming Laws & Regulations As mentioned above, online casinos are in fact legal in Canada. But, each province manages and enforces gaming laws and regulations. By far the most important regulation to note is that players can only access online casinos that are within their respective province. In other words, every province has local online casinos and leverages geofencing to restrict access to users who are located within their borders. This means that onlinthere will be different online casinos in Ontario than in Alberta. But that doesn’t take away from the fact that international gaming sites have managed to penetrate the Canadian gaming market. While it is true that every online casino must be licensed to operate in Canada there is one so-called loophole that does exist. The Kahnawake reserve territory is a self-governed part of the country where foreign gaming sites host their servers. Therefore, they are able to find their way around the province’s restrictions. No matter if you stick to a local site or a Kahnawake reserve territory site, we recommend avoiding any offshore gaming sites as they are not authorized by the Canadian government. 2. Product Differences In general, you won’t find too much variety across the many online casinos in Canada. Most will be offering action on all major sports, including American football, soccer, basketball, hockey, and golf, more. However, you may find differences in terms of the selection of online slot games, table games, bonuses, and payment policies. The gaming library will largely depend on the gaming developer and provider each casino has partnered with. And the bonuses and the deposit and withdrawal policies will also be unique to each casino. That is why we strongly recommend browsing each online casino before you choose — it’s better to take in all the information before making a financial commitment. 3. Testing Is An Option Unbeknownst to most folks, online casinos in Canada offer players the ability to test casino games without wagering any money. Additionally, it’s free to sign up and create an account (meaning no initial deposits are required). If you’re an avid gamer or new to online gaming altogether, it’s best to round out your product research by testing free versions of the casino games to make sure you will want to invest your time and money at a particular casino. 4. Always Read The Terms & Conditions As stated above, not all payout and deposit policies are equal across the many online casinos in Canada. It’s imperative that you educate yourself on the casino’s policies. Online casinos typically have a terms and conditions page and/or a FAQ page that clearly outlines all the requirements, banking options, and bonus policies. You should take the time to read the terms and conditions to understand how long withdrawals can take if there are any fees, and how you can go about claiming bonuses. When in doubt, most online casinos have live chat features to communicate with real-live customer support agents. Or, have a general phone or email address to reach support if you have any questions. 5. New Player Bonuses It’s virtually industry standard for an online casino in Canada to offer new players some sort of new sign-up incentive. Casinos offer bonuses as a marketing tactic to attract new players, keep players, and compete with one another. Before choosing your next online casino, we encourage you to look at the various new sign-up bonuses across the online casinos in your province. Many will offer a deposit match bonus and/or offer you free bets or slot play. Once you sign up, you’ll surely receive more and more bonus offers from the casino.

On November 25, 2021 we attended a charity dinner benefitting an organization called I Love First Peoples. Of course this was timely considering the news of the horrific discovery about Canada’s history with residential schools.

You have just moved into a new home, and you are wondering how you should decorate your kitchen. You want it to reflect your personal style, but you also want visitors to feel at home when they come over to your house. You want it to look good when you take pictures of your meals for social media. Fortunately, you can do a few things to make your kitchen unique, comfortable, and easy to cook, eat, and clean in.  Get a Few Gadgets You can add a few gadgets to your kitchen and make your life much easier. There are breakfast sandwich makers that can make a grilled sandwich in just a few minutes.  If you are a fan of smoothies, a juicer will save you hundreds of dollars a year. This is an item that you want to spend some money on because the better ones will be able to pulverize any vegetable you want.  Be sure to get a juicer that matches the colour scheme of your kitchen, they tend to be rather large, and people will notice it when they enter the room.  A stainless steel or copper French press will look great in your kitchen and make delicious coffee. A French steel press will also keep the energizing liquid hotter for a longer time than a glass press will. Create Extra Storage You need plenty of cabinetry to store your valuables so a kitchen can never have too much storage. There is a trend towards adding large drawers to store plates at a lower level. This way, you will be able to see the dishes you are selecting, and there is less chance of breakage.  Hidden coffee bars are also very popular right now. They are a fantastic surprise for visitors, and they can add value to your home. Imagine pulling out your own Starbucks at your next party. Shelves over the sink not only add extra storage, but they can also add a touch of class to your kitchen if you stock them with just the right things. Copper pots look great on shelves, and so does that china that you only use on special occasions.  Get a Cup Tree Everybody has a favourite cup, and it is almost always a coffee mug. Hence, your coffee mugs should always be in a place that is easy to reach. A cup tree looks decorative and lets everyone grab a cup and their coffee in a hurry. Some people will get cups in an array of bright colours, and others will display cups that they have acquired while traveling. If you want to make your kitchen truly unique, you can always create your own custom-made cups. There are businesses on the internet that will allow you to put your own design on one of many mugs.  According to the website printful.com/ca/custom-mugs, you can go on one of these sites and upload your original design or create one using the companies online tools. You can then select the style of a mug that you wish to appear on. They will print it and send it off to you. Each person in your family can have their own mug with their name or picture on it. You can also have funny or inspirational sayings on your cup. The family pet makes a great model for a mug. You can create your own bowls, plates, and glasses as well. Accessorize Your Kitchen Cabinets  The cabinets of yore were simple things that sat above the sink and counter and held the tools you needed to cook and enjoy your food. Modern kitchen cabinets are designed for your comfort and cooking style.  You can get a chef’s pantry that has shelving units that swing out and let you arrange their contents. Roll-out pantries are great for storing spices and oils that you want to have handy when you cook.  If you do not have the time or money to get new shelving, you can have a pull-out step stool installed. That way, you will be able to pull out the stool when you need to reach something that is in a high cabinet. Pull-out waste baskets are a way to hide the unsightly but necessary contraptions. A pull-out trash can will hide odours and save space in your kitchen. The kitchen is one of the most important rooms in a person’s house. It is where you make and eat the food you need to live, and it is where families congregate before and after going out into the world for the day.  A few new additions to your kitchen are well worth the money. A remodeled kitchen will increase your home’s resale value and make the house more liveable.    

Airport travel is a necessary evil that most of us have to endure at least once a year. For many, the only saving grace is knowing you’ll be able to get some quality sleep on your flight. But there are so many other ways to make your airport experience better from start to finish. Here are our top hacks for making air travel time-saving and affordable. 1. Arrange for Your Airport Transportation in Advance Always have your airport transportation pre-arranged by booking with a reputable online service. Doing so will save you time, money, and hassle as taxis are always more expensive at the airport. And pre-booking will guarantee you won’t miss your train only to have to take a cab instead. The best way to get there for those flying out of Toronto Pearson International Airport is on the UP Express train. 2. Where Are You Flying? If your destination airport is an international one, you’ll have to fly through customs. This takes time and requires patience, so it might be better to save it for another time if this trip isn’t a necessity. And what about the weather? If you’re traveling somewhere warm, you might want to pack a nice bathing suit so you can stop for a dip at a local beach. You’ll have unlimited access to some of the world’s most beautiful beaches on this trip. 3. Familiarize Yourself with the Parking Spaces Try to note the parking spaces closest to the terminals as soon as you pull into your car park. This will save you time from having to circle. The best thing to do is use online platforms that provide information on the parking spaces at airports such as the Toronto Pearson airport. You’ll get details such as pricing and the number of spaces. Your Toronto airport parking experience will be enjoyable and time-saving when you know about the locations and distances for the parking spaces. 4. Seek out the Fast Track Lane Before heading through customs, make sure you know whether or not you can take advantage of the fast track. This will save you time because it means less waiting in line. For example, if you’ve pre-filled all of your customs information online, then being “fast track” eligible allows you to jump right to the front of the line. 5. Give Yourself Plenty of Time to Get Through Security Security lines can be long, so it’s essential to get there early. If you have TSA Precheck status, you’ll find that the lines always move faster, and it’s worth having. It doesn’t take long to get, but the benefits are worth it. 6. Be Mindful of Your Belongings Don’t leave expensive or sentimental items in your bags because people can get into them at any time, even when they’re on the conveyor belt going through the x-ray machine. That’s why it’s a good idea to have an extra smartphone charger if you have one, as well as anything else that may be worth taking with you at the end of your journey. And don’t forget about those pesky fees. You can quickly pay hundreds of dollars for each bag you check, so make sure you only take the essentials with you. 7. Arrive Early to Your Gate If your flight is non-stop, it’s nice to arrive at the airport several hours early because that way, you don’t have to rush or worry about making your flight. Plus, there are usually restaurants and shops to visit while you’re waiting. If your flight is a connecting one, though, it’s a good idea to arrive at least two hours early. This will give you plenty of time for a coffee and a snack before taking the next leg of your journey. If you plan and make sure your airport transportation is pre-arranged, you can save time and money. You should also know which parking spaces are closest to the terminal so that it’s easy for you to find them when returning from a trip. It’s recommendable to use online platforms in getting information on the target airport parking.    

Gambling as a valid and legitimate recreation has gained worldwide acceptance in the past decades and gambling casinos have become essential sources of revenue in the localities they are located for both the government and the labor sector. In addition, the appearance of the internet during the 1980s brought instant access to information, entertainment, free spins no deposit, and money-making opportunities for everyone with access to a computer. As the internet became public in the early 1990s, all kinds of business trailblazers jumped to get a piece of the action, including casino operators. Microgaming was reportedly the first to offer casino gaming software in 1994 and collaborated with Belle Rock Entertainment to establish undisputedly the first online casino in 1998, called The Gaming Club. Cryptocurrency The term cryptocurrency was first conceived in 1998, a new payment method using cryptography to make business transactions confidential and decentralized. It is a digital currency that can be exchanged online for goods and services. Cryptocurrencies work using blockchain technology, a decentralized technology spread across many computers that manage and record transactions. Trading in Cryptocurrency To buy and sell cryptocurrencies, one must establish a digital wallet, an online app that will hold the currency. The cryptocurrency is not stored in the wallet but is gathered by the currency’s blockchain. Digital wallets are like bank books, while the blockchain is the general ledger that records and verifies all transactions of a cryptocurrency. Then there is the cryptocurrency trading exchange, where clients buy and sell cryptocurrency. In some cases, however, the blockchain provider also acts as a cryptocurrency trading exchange. One of the most popular cryptocurrency exchanges is Coinbase, where you can create a digital wallet and trade cryptocurrencies simultaneously. Speculation Trading Cryptocurrency Almost all investors in cryptocurrency are engaged in venture capitalist trading, similar to the stock market. Cryptocurrencies fluctuate in value, and speculating capitalists hold on to their currency until they go up in value. This is similar to the initial public offering IPO of stock markets, and cryptocurrency trading also provides ICO or initial coin offering. Cryptocurrency trading is a “buy and hold” strategy, highly volatile in the short term but has long-term potential for growth. However, some very experienced crypto traders take advantage of the market’s volatility by either taking a long or short position in trading, buying low, and selling high, depending on the market’s bullishness. Cryptocurrency vs. Cash and Credit Cards Cryptocurrency is not readily usable in day-to-day transactions compared to actual cash currency. The disadvantage of the latter is that cash is bulkier to carry and therefore harder to secure. Cryptocurrency, on the other hand, is secure since all transactions are online. In addition, payment for international transactions is more accessible with minimal trade restrictions.   Cash payments, however, would entail service charges and maintaining balance fees. In addition, credit card transactions are more susceptible to fraud than cryptocurrency payments since disbursements are irreversible after the fact. Businesses also enjoy instant transfers of payments compared to credit cards that will take days to clear. Transactions, likewise, are more confidential than credit cards. Cryptocurrency and Online Casinos Cryptocurrency and online casinos are a metaphor of hand and globe; it is a natural development since both are digital. However, it was not initially so since most online players found cryptocurrency strange and complex and were too intimidated in setting up to use one. Online casinos may have been in existence for several years now, but it is only recently that cryptocurrencies were accepted. During the massive media coverage of bitcoin in 2017, cryptocurrencies became payment options for mainstream retailers when online casino operators started to promote cryptocurrency gambling.   There are several advantages in cryptocurrency online gambling over that of cash or credit card online casino play.   First and foremost is cryptography security against outside threats, both for the online casino and the players. Moreover, credit cards and bank transfers require identity verification, while cryptocurrencies make online casino players anonymous. Crypto casinos will allow players to establish an account with only a username and a password; no name, address, or any other piece of information. On top of that, transactions are faster, either in the payout or replenishing an account. Then there is the provably fair principle that legitimate online casinos mandate. Finally, an algorithm technology checks and verifies an online casino’s fairness towards its players, so no rigged games. Crypto online gambling also has no borders, and players can gamble anytime, anywhere with no or minimal currency conversion fees. One of the most attractive advantages for high rolling online casino players is that cryptocurrency deposits and withdrawals are limited. So they can play as much as they want, while other currencies will have to go through anti-money laundering restrictions. Online Casino Operators The advent of cryptocurrencies as anonymous and decentralized monetary systems is perfect for online casinos. While transactions are anonymous, the movement of funds is transparent and secure. This high level of transparency and security also protects the casino from players’ fraud and inevitable disputes. Furthermore, the start-up and operating costs in creating an online crypto casino are substantially lower. They can be established in less than a month, making it a very lucrative option for investors. Projection The market share of cryptocurrency online casinos vis-a-vis the industry is currently at 15% and rapidly growing. Crypto online casinos are full-fledged, self-regulating establishments immune to outside interference. This compliments both online casino players and operators. As the unknown factors regarding online casinos and cryptocurrency are being met and satisfied, an increase in the number of players is expected, especially at this time of the Covid pandemic. This will ensure the expansion of the online casino industry.    Cryptocurrency and online casinos are now considered as the dynamic duo in the world’s hard-pressed economy. Leisure travel restrictions have made those two the most popular pastime available to a quarantined populace. Even as the world normalizes from the pandemic, it is still projected that online crypto casinos will continue to develop through sheer convenience and novelty.

Cryptocurrencies have lately been grabbing the headlines. You might be still in the sceptics’ camp, thinking that the cryptocurrency market is in a bubble, but there is no escaping the fact that digital money has lately been the word on everyone’s lips. Everybody has been talking about crypto, because the majority of them are presently enjoying the uptrend. Bitcoin (BTC) is hovering near an all-time high, trading at $65,987 at the time of writing. Ethereum (ETH) is up by 2.45% and is trading at $$4,730. Cardano (ADA) has grown to about $2, 00 since the end of October. The price of Ripple (XRP) has since rallied 19%. Other altcoins, such as Shiba Inu and Dodgecoin, are also participating in the general uptrend characterizing the crypto market at the moment.  There are several reasons why cryptocurrencies have been capturing everyone’s attention. Their rise in popularity has been fueled by record high market gains experienced since the beginning of the year. Elon Musk’s tweets have whetted people’s curiosity about crypto. There has been an increase in eco-friendly cryptocurrencies which have attracted environmentally conscious traders. As Cardano and XRP have positioned themselves as greener alternatives to Bitcoin and Ether, traders began looking kindly on them. Impressed by cryptocurrencies’ popularity, people have started turning to digital coins for an extra income. Those of them who have only recently tried their luck in luxurious casinos in North America and elsewhere are now beginning to invest in cryptocurrencies as a more definite source of income.    It is true that by comparison to other nations, Canadians are less enthusiastic about digital coins. According to Hardbacon’s survey conducted in the summer of 2021, only 28% of respondents had cryptocurrencies in their portfolio. About 85% of them owned Bitcoin and 75% had Ethereum. But only 5% of respondents rated BTC as a safe investment. About 21% of surveyed people considered stocks a safer investment. More than 65% gave preference to government bonds. In other countries, such as Vietnam, India, and Pakistan, the number of people owing cryptocurrencies is significantly higher. It is estimated that over 5.9 million people, 6.1% of Vietnam’s total population, have digital coins. But as the popularity of cryptocurrencies increases, more and more Canadians begin regarding them as a valuable source of investment, especially if they prove to be eco-friendly.  There are reasons to believe that official digital currencies in Canada will indeed be more environmentally benign. The Central Bank of Canada has looked at the environmental impacts as part of its research into creating its own cryptocurrencies. It is keenly aware of wasteful methods of mining technologies that are in force when such cryptocurrencies as Bitcoin are mined. Bitcoin mining takes up about the same amount of energy annually as the Netherlands on average does a year, according to data from the University of Cambridge and the International Energy Agency. The goal of the Central Bank is to avoid relying on these environmentally harmful technologies in creating a digital loonie.  Cleaner, renewable energy should be used.   When the Central Bank of Canada reviewed the risks to Canada’s financial system, it included a section on cryptocurrencies. It specified that their market capitalization climbed from $200 billion at the beginning of 2020 to over $2 trillion as investors were able to start buying exchange-traded funds holding Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies.  The Central Bank is supported by various Canadian projects attempting to remove cryptocurrency from fossil fuels and use hydropower instead. Canadian projects also try to reduce the emission of carbon and thus make cryptocurrency look more attractive in the eyes of traders worrying about the environment.  Canada may be not participating in the cryptocurrency craze as enthusiastically as other countries. But if it issues its digital loonie, it will make sure to reduce the environmental harm of mining and will produce an environmentally friendly digital token using renewable energy.
