New Brunswickers had spoken: New Brunswick to New Brunswickers, bye bye Shawn Graham!

I finish work early today to go for groceries. I just find out that a good colleague of mine is leaving Montreal for Toronto. He’s not the first one that I know moving to Toronto. These days, everyone seems to be leaving Montreal. People leaving Montreal for Toronto are ambitious workers, looking for more opportunities. I think that Quebec province is really getting now that bad reputation of corruption and favoritism and honest workers are getting annoy and have enough. It’s something I can truly understand. We are paying too much of that Quebec provincial taxes for nothing at all. No access to health cares what so ever. Extremely poor educational system as well. And people are aware of that.

Young people of my age are extremely aware and when it time to consider ways to accomplish something in there life, well, they don’t hesitate very long: they leave for Toronto. Like the guy I spoke to told me that here, he was feeling like he wasn’t going anywhere and stuff. So he decided to move to Toronto and he will begin a university degree in January. So I wish him good luck and I wish him well. And than he told me that I should move to Toronto too. Me in Toronto? lol….. Despite everything that happens to me here, I like Montreal a lot. Nothing is working correctly here for me, but at least, I had reached my investment goal. And what if my live in Toronto would be even worst that what I am currently living here in Montreal? Worst, I don’t know for sure, but it could be better. Maybe. But I am not planning to move for now but it’s definitively something I am keeping in the back of my head. As an idea you know. And maybe for once in my life I will take some English course. What about that? lol…

I am not living happily in Montreal but I am not totally unhappy and sad either. It’s more like a I-don’t-like-Quebeckers-and-you-don’t-like-me-either kind of situation. But eventually, I am not going no where. Absolutely no where.

Anyhow, as you may know, today was an election day in my native New-Brunswick land. And New Brunswickers know how to vote, trust me on that! Not that I am that of a Tories fan, but hey, we didn’t have any choices, Shawn Graham shouldn’t have try to sell NB Power to a bunch of stupid Quebeckers. See how well is doing Jean Charest right now? Jean Charest will soon spend some prison time and he’ll be followed by Brian Mulroney who’s going to finish his days in prison. We are talking here of 2 different cases here but hey, New Brunswickers had their own voices and I am a New Brunswicker! YES I AM! Everyone in Canada and outdoor have to understand that and I think everyone knows now. Common sense had to remain in New-Brunswick. Nothing has to change. Jean Charest and its little Quebeckers do not have a clue of what New Brunswickers are able of. Even without electricity lol………..yeah! Most of New Brunswickers like myself had nothing against Quebeckers, I think. But it’s just we want to be left alone.

New Brunswickers spoke their minds today: New Brunswick to New Brunswickers ONLY. Simple and clear. Shawn Graham had learned a valuable lesson. No one is going to control New Brunswick other than New Brunswickers themselves. So I am very proud of my people today. This is very honorable day for New Brunswick. It’s just a bit sad that it have to be a Conservative government. I would have preferred NPD better (Jack Layton is soooooo awesome and wonderful!!). Just too bad I couldn’t vote (I am living in Quebec right now).

But life great anyway. Can you imagine, my non registered investment portfolio close the day at 59 930.56$! It’s an increase of 136.15$ compare to September 24… So its look like it’s just keep going and growing! That thing is alive.

I am now at 102 837.70$

This represents an increase of more than 800$ compare to September 20. I really wanted to update my investment portfolio tonight to see how things were going… What a surprise! I am almost at 103k. Going to bed now... I have to wake up early tomorrow and it's almost 2 am......

My French blog project about Nelly Arcan

I just complete a Web site had been working on for a while. It’s in French, and this is my first ever French blog. So hope your going to like it. My blog title is: L’espace romanesque dans l’œuvre littéraire de Nelly Arcan (1975-2009). I kind of make it fast. Today commerate the first year of the death of Nelly Arcan. Her first novel had been translated in English. My favorite Nelly Arcan novel is À ciel ouvert. Great reading if you can read French.

I am now at 101 976.02$

… and I am doing way much better now than a couple of days ago. I went see The Town of Ben Affleck. Very good movie, nice viewing. Ben Affleck is very good as well as all the other actors in their gangster roles.

Last Friday, it was crazy, I was burned out. So many calls, so many customers that needed to be answer. And it doesn’t seem it’s going to stop anytime soon. Those are very good news because there was an announcement saying there should be overtime for the next 4 to 5 weeks… yeah… but after that, it will be Christmas season… so watch out again! Again, many many many calls or I guess so. And Hello overtime! Yep, there’s currently overtime available. I will do my best to do some, but it’s very difficult for me. Today I did a 9 hours shift and I left. For tomorrow, I will see. My investment portfolio is doing very well. I have no choice than to update it and that’s what I am currently doing right now. A TSX pass 12 000 points? Very awesome! And awesome result for my investment portfolio! Nothing is magic. I know my portfolio is doing well because the index is score at more than 12 000 points. One does not come without the other.

I am very happy with Premium Brands Holdings Corporation (PBH) who had now exceed the 14$ per stock. At a point, I taught about selling my stocks of Premium Brands Holdings Corporation (PBH) because I wasn’t seeing any good results. And than I decide to stick to Premium Brands Holdings Corporation, because I was receiving some dividend today. I always kept in mind the good worlds of Jean-François Tardif on Premium Brands Holdings Corporation (PBH) and now, my patience had paid off.

It’s very difficult to stick to a stock, wondering if it’s not just better to sell and buy some extra Claymore Gold Bullion ETF (CGL) or… what? What to do? Good for me, I am not a huge investment seller and it paid off. Like that stick and hold idea of Derek Foster is really working well for me!

Sprott Inc. (SII) had done over the 4$ per stock. My Consumers’ Waterheater Income Fund (CWI.UN) had exceeded the 5$ per unit… Like WOW! The Consumers’ Waterheater Income Fund (CWI.UN) is performing well with or without Derek Foster lol (this being said because a couple of months ago, Derek Foster had sold his The Consumers’ Waterheater Income Fund (CWI.UN) units). Did you know? But I didn't sell mine!!!

All those mix together, I am now very close to the 102k. And voilà. I cannot say more. Very happy.
