It’s Thanksgiving in Canada, a very special time to “serve” and to share with friends and family. In particular, no matter what challenging circumstances we may each face at the moment, it’s a day to reflect on all the blessings we do enjoy in our personal lives and to be grateful for each and every one of them. Having an “attitude of gratitude” every day of the year, not just at special times such as this, is critical.

Many of us may not feel as “rich” as we were a couple of years ago at the height of the Venture bull market, but we challenge everyone to think of richness not just in financial terms (though keep in mind that it’s times like this when fortunes are born).

Our country is a mess right now under incompetent leadership and woke ideology that has permeated our culture like a cancer, but we can be thankful we have the opportunity, the courage and the determination to fix it.

We thank the brave men and women in the Canadian armed forces who serve our country, those who have served, and the many who served and paid the ultimate sacrifice to protect freedom and democracy.

Today, especially, our thoughts and prayers also go to our friends in Israel – the only democracy in the Middle East – who have just suffered the worst attack on their country in half a century from Iran-sponsored Hamas Islamist terrorists. Canadians and Americans have likely been killed and/or injured/taken hostage as well. A new war has erupted, and it could have global consequences.

God has called us to live generous lives and to be a blessing to others. From all of us at BMR, Happy Thanksgiving!  We are also grateful for you and each and every one of our loyal readers who make this site possible. It’s our fierce determination to serve you better than ever.

To our American friends, who celebrate Thanksgiving next month, Monday is Columbus Day. This important day remembers Christopher Columbus’ arrival to the Americas on October 12, 1492.

Canadian stock markets are closed tomorrow. U.S. stock markets are open (the bond market is closed) though trading volumes will be lighter with the Columbus Day holiday.
