Happy Tax Freedom Day Canada!
The day Canadians have paid off the total tax bill imposed on them by government and can finally start working for themselves, arrives today, four days earlier than in 2007, according to The Fraser Institute’s annual Tax Freedom Day calculations.
Canadians can calculate their personal Tax Freedom Day using The Fraser Institute’s Personal Tax Freedom Day Calculator.

Record Corn prices with Floods Hitting Mid-West Cities
Heavy rainfall and floods in the U.S. mid-west have in my opinion, pretty much ruined any hopes of a decent corn and soybean crop from these areas this year. It will be interesting how this weather event will effect agricultural stocks in the weeks to come as the fertilizer plays don't seem to be affected by it just yet while corn futures have gapped up a few times over the last few weeks. Ethanol stocks have already been downgraded as a result.
