The Banks are at it again. This morning an article on new online bank fees caught my eye. The article was written by Fiona Anderson from the Vancouver Sun. Kudos to Fiona for putting the banks on blast.

You are probably wondering why I’m P’Od about the situation. Yesterday i was granted the opportunity to have a meeting with the President of the EO (Entrepreneurs’ Organization), where i picked his brain on how to run a successful business. A factor we both agreed on was that the Banks are just useless.

In 2008, 98% of businesses in British Columbia were small businesses, and as Fiona puts it, its no wonder why Banks have been trying to attract this market. However, Banks are increasing charges every month without notifying their small business members. What exactly do they think is going to happen? Receive Grammy Awards or alienate a group that is very important to the Canadian economy, and a group that is a very important source of revenue for them.

You might think i whining, but these are the same individuals that want deficit spending to continue. When deficit spending increases, you do not need to alienate small businesses, this is when you do everything to attract them. I guess the Banks didn’t get that memo. Call up Obama.

Another annoying issue is that these fees are regressive, which means that they affect smaller businesses than larger ones. Happy i was awake in my Political Economy class for that one. It is up to  you to Investigate the issue. Call up your bank to find out if your charges have gone up. If they have, give em a hair raiser.

On Friday, i got texts messages ‘from four friends’ (tongue twitter) wishing me a happy Grammy Awards weekend. Yes they were all Yanks. So I decided to watch the whole program for the first time yesterday and I now know why people watch the Grammy Awards. So lets skip the talk about “how” Beyonce won six Grammy Awards, or “why” Kanye West did not interrupt Taylor Swift again… Lets get to the performances…

IN NUMBER 5…..

Lil Wayne, Eminem, and Drizzy Drake brought everyone to their feet at the end. The fact that Drizzy Drake is the first person ever to be nominated for two Grammy Awards before dropping an album is commendable. Makes it better that he is Canadian. Lil Wayne was Lil Wayne and Eminem brought an energy that we have not seen for decades. The performance would have been higher in my rankings if they had left out the curse words. I am sure i wasn’t the only one thinking there was something wrong with my tv.

NUMBER 4….

Bon Jovi rocked my socks off!!!!! They took to the Grammy stage for the first time and with Sugarland’s Jennifer Nettles gave an unforgettable performance. …

In Third PLACE….

GAGA for GAGA.. hooking up with Sir Elton John was very interesting.

In Second Place….

PINK = AMAZING. Just watch the video…

Since this is my own list, i’ve decided to have two Number 1’s. Michael Jackson is in Number 1. However, my second number 1 goes to MJ’s Kids. Not a performance but it brought tears to my eyes…

Thats my top 5 folks. Agree / Disagree hit us up…. reach@reachmag.ca

Mike Chatwin is a man on a mission, to become one of the best fashion photographers Canada has to offer. For a guy who is fairly new to photography (just 4 years) his striking images have impressed all comers and has made him stand out from the rest.

I met Mike when I decided to launch Reach Magazine. At the time he was a photographer trying to make a name for himself, and I was an individual who was trying to bring an idea into reality. The partnership would reap dividends – in just a year, Mike has grown into a top notch photographer that is highly respected by his peers.

During the past year, Mike has worked with top Vancouver fashion designers such as Jason Matlo, Carlie Wong, Melissa Ferreira of Adhesif and many more. His photographs have been the subject of much acclaim. His work ethic, and candid personality make Mike an individual who everyone loves to work with. Noting talented photographers such as Trevor Brady as mentors, Mike’s hunger to learn is second to none. He has been a brother to me and as 2010 rolls in, I can only wonder what is next for Mike. Whatever it is, I know it will be nothing short of greatness.
