Here we go. Its time for the inaugural edition of the Canadian Personal Finance & Investing Carnival. Unfortunately, this week, we only received 1 submission that complied with our stipulations. However, being the host of the Carnival, we’ve decided to go ahead and roundup the creme de la creme in the realm of Canadian personal finance and investing and present it to you in one neatly packed and scrumptious post. We really hope you like it.
In addition, we would like to take this opportunity to invite submissions for the second installment of the Canadian Personal Finance & Investing Carnival slated for publishing on July 31, 2010. So if you’re a Canadian blogger specializing in personal finance and or investing, make sure you submit your best articles for inclusion and while you’re at it, perhaps spread the word on the Canadian Personal Finance & Investing Carnival.
