Are you ready to watch some women’s soccer this summer? Will you be rooting for #TeamCanada?

I’ve been involved with soccer ever since I could walk. I played for over ten years in organized leagues year-round. I was a referee for five years as a summer student job. Then I was a driver for my youngest brother who excelled the most out of all of us. Now I’m here to write about soccer.

Have you finished your Father's Day shopping?  If you need help thinking of ideas or want to add a little extra gift onto your plan, look no further than LowestRates.ca.

The best soccer players in the world are currently playing right here in Canada. From now until July 5th, the country hosts the 24 top rated soccer teams with every player determined to lift the championship trophy.

If you drive, you know what a pain car expenses can be. You also know that you’re sick of public transportation and you never want to sit next to a random stranger with bad body odor again.

There’s a lot of buyer beware information out there about credit cards and its ugly step-cousin, consumer debt.
