Black Friday is right around the corner and sales, deals and discounts from stores across Canada have been pouring in left and right, making it clear Black Friday has evolved more from a single day into a full-on season of consumer frenzy.

Stores and brands including Amazon, Old Navy, Canadian Tire, Walmart, Ikea, H&M, Costco and Bath & Body Works, to name a few, are practically vying for attention through extended deals and flashy offers, many of which somehow begin before Black Friday and continue for days after. Either way, savings are expected.

The federal government tabled its 2021 budget on April 19. As Canada reckons with the financial costs of the pandemic, the presentation included several new tax measures that would give the government a fiscal boost.

Autumn in Montreal is bliss. The weather is chillier, the leaves are vibrant, and the city is in its loveliest state. But as we trek towards the long weekend, it's easy to be reminded that this year feels a little different.

Though we can't visit loved ones or gather with friends quite yet, that doesn't mean we can't have a good time. Montrealers' favourite fall activities like apple-picking, Mount-Royal hiking, experimenting in the kitchen, and coffee-shop exploring aren't off the table.

Fall is such a sweet time of the year. All you want to do is grab your cozy sweater and look at all of the pretty leaves. It's also got some of the best flavours in all seasons, especially at certain Montreal bakeries.

Who doesn’t love a good movie, or perhaps a good book too? One of my guilty pleasures is binge watching all 13 seasons of Grey’s Anatomy on Sundays and re-reading the entire Series of Unfortunate Events books on my way to work each morning.

The only downside to this is that I need two different apps. Actually, three, if you count my Saturday morning cleaning ritual - I love me some music when I’m doing chores around the house. Don’t judge, I know you guys have dance parties too.
