It’s Thanksgiving in Canada, so it’s time to give thanks. It’s also my birthday. That’s why I’m the one who’s going to give you a gift (there’s only one condition, so read on).

I want to give thanks to all my loyal subscribers and readers. But there’s another perfectly good and more important reason.
