CANADA TO DONATE 10 MILLION UNUSED COVID-19 VACCINES TO POOR COUNTRIES SAYS PM HON JUSTIN TRUDEAU

Canada is among the developed countries that have been hit hard with the COVID-19 pandemic, leaving our healthcare system over-exhausted with many of its citizens and residents dead. Prime Minister Hon Justin Trudeau and his competent cabinet have worked tirelessly to ensure that Canadiens are kept safe by being among the first set of countries to get on board the vaccine train. The first doses of 30,000 Pfizer have been rolled out in Ontario and Quebec in December 2020 and continued to distribute to the rest of the population in January 2021.  Many Canadiens can now breathe a sigh of relief that there are options to keeping us safe.

Canada prides itself on being one of the most humanitarian countries in the world. This pretty much explains why sharing the millions of doses of the vaccine which it has purchased for its citizen seemed easy. Last week Prime Minister Hon Justin Trudeau announced that Canada will be donating 10 MILLION UNUSED Johnson and Johnson vaccines doses to POOR COUNTRIES. 

According to The Canadian Press Canada is donating all 10 million doses of the single-dose vaccine that it purchased from Johnson and Johnson but won't use to low and middle-income countries. The donations are done through COVAX vaccine-sharing alliance as many developing countries continue to struggle with a shortage of shots. 

The CARIBBEAN AND LATIN AMERICA will benefit from this said Prime Minister Hon Trudeau as he made this announcement on his Facebook wall three days ago.

This humanitarian kind deed is quite commendable and comes as no surprise as Canada is known to be a very friendly and caring neighbour to the rest of the world.

13 DEAD IN A GUNFIRE SHOOTING SPREE IN NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA

By far the WORSE MASS SHOOTING in Canadian history.

A gunman disguised himself as an RCMP POLICE OFFICER went on a shooting rampage,  terrorizing residents in the downtown area of HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA. The suspect is dead as well as a RCMP Constable was pronounced dead by police. 

This is indeed a sad state of affair for us here in Canada at a time when the nation is already hurting in so many ways from the devastation caused by COVID-19. Let us keep the residents of this Province in our prayers and Canada by extension.

THE SECRETS TO FINANCIAL INCREASE VOLUME #2 By Clairon Haynes

VOLUME # 2
CUT DOWN YOUR EXPENSES!
So last time I can recall renting a little space in your curious minds with my thoughts was in February (approximately 4 months ago) with VOLUME # 1 of "THE SECRETS TO FINANCIAL INCREASE. Here I introduced the series by giving you some background information regarding why you can trust me as a credible source to advice you on financial matters and wealth building and giving you 4 secrets to securing your financial bag. Please allow me to refresh your memory on what those 4 secrets were in my last discussion. 

1. Remove all DEBIT & CREDIT cards from you wallets. 2. Treat your credit purchases like a debit card. 3. Return a faithful tithe of 1/10 % of your income to the Lord. 4. Save as much as you can from your income. It is my hope that you have put some of those vital lessons which you have learnt so far into practice. Now moving right along. Are you ready for VOLUME # 2? Lets go!

We live in an era where the more expenses that you accumulate qualifies  you for acquiring  assets. On the contrary, when I grew up in the Caribbean island of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines I was cultured to avoid too many expenses as much as possible if I had any chances at all at building wealth. When I moved to Canada I struggled enormously to grasp how this blessed country uses credit to fuel its wealth. I rebelled against it. Well I got a rude awakening back in 2012 when one of my utility bills ended up at the Credit Bureau here because I was too sick to get out of bed to pay it on time. This first little slip up kept me locked into credit jail for almost 4 painful years. With the help of Jehovah God I was able to learn how to get back into the financial graces of the banks and creditors who have trusted me again with their money. Suffice it to say CREDIT IN CANADA IS A MUST!

That said, it is our financial responsibility to ensure that we use that credit wisely if not you and I will live long enough to deal with the consequences of our actions. The difference between the amount of money that you earn and your expenses equals your wealth! The less expenses you incur is the more money you can have at your disposal to enjoy the quality of life that you truly deserve. Let us explore a few points on how to reduce your expenses so that you can build wealth. 

1. Be an expert at negotiating!
You and I should always be ready to bargain with our service providers what we think is a fair amount for us to pay. From experience I've come to realize that they quote that price to us because they do not think in their wildest dreams that we will challenge it. Are you kidding me! It is our responsibility to strike a deal with them so that we get as much for our money's worth. Instead of jumping from creditors to creditors that provide the same service in search for a lower rate how about giving your loyalty to one for an extensive period of time to earn GUARANTEED CUSTOMER STATUS then start making your demands? This may sound foolish to some of you but trust me it does work for me. For instance I've been with my internet and cable provider since 2006 almost the length of time I have been in Canada. Last year I transferred my cellphone with them also making it a total of 3 services. Last week I called up customer service and argued that I was paying too much for those 3 services and I deserve a significant reduction since I've been with them since 12 YEARS! The customer agent immediately agreed with me and sliced my bill down by 25%. No price it final until a negotiation takes place. So the next time you get your phone bill just remember this! I could not have been more elated. This example substantiates my point of the need for you to be be an efficient negotiator. In order for you to succeed at it you must lay down a good foundation with years of trust building of course!

2. Budgeting 
I cannot stress this enough. Promise me that one month before your next income that you will draw up a REALISTIC BUDGET! Only include the expenses that are necessary. Be sure to make a distinction between your needs and wants and prioritize the former. Try not to spend outside of your target for a good 3 months and you will be amazed at how much wealth you would have accumulated. Control your money do not let it control you!

3. Do not let your emotions control your wallet!
I've listened to many interviews where persons have confessed on numerous occasions that the reason why they became addicted to spending was because they were depress, lost a loved one, or something traumatic has happened at a certain crucial time of their lives. Shopping for such persons are indeed a drug and like any addict they must seek professional clinical help to curb this pain so that it stops bleeding on their finances. The good news is that as long as persons are able to identify the roots of their spending habits they are on well on their way to finding a solution. Quoting from Dr. Phil, "you cannot change what you do not acknowledge."

4. Live within your means!
In this age where an increasing number of persons love to be seen and heard there is pressure to impress in order to keep up with the Jones. If only you and I can see the DEBTS that these Jones put themselves into to make us think that they are truly living from their accumulated wealth we will learn to be satisfied with what God has blessed us with and wait on our turn to be blessed in the right way. As the old adage says, "Rome was not built in one day." Keep trusting God and applying the  information that are out there and you will surely reach your financial destination.

Make the choices that your future will thank you for later even if they are painful! No one owes you a good life you and I have to build it from scratch!!!

It was certainly a pleasure engaging you again and I do hope that you found this article informative. Stay tuned for VOLUME #3. Thanks for reading and may God richly bless you to be able to make better financial choices.

THE SECRETS TO FINANCIAL INCREASE! VOLUME #1 By Clairon Haynes

Life has taught me many lessons one being it takes losing everything to develop the habit, passion, and drive for owning everything one desires in life. Suffice it to say that nowadays with the uncertain global economy displaying its bipolar antics from time to time it is imperative that we put measures into place to own our own and develop some entrepreneurial backbone.

As the sunrise of January 2019 hit my shore I got a rude wake up call to do an introspection on my financial activities for 2018. Oooh that autopsy was not a pleasant sight to look at. I was not proud of the way in which I mishandled my finances. I butchered it mercilessly. I spent without budgeting as my emotional yoyo was controlling all of the strings to my wallet. Then a voice deep within me jerked me back to economic consciousness and summoned me to take immediate actions. I was up for the challenge!

I know you are ready for me to get to the meat of the matter but before so please permit me to give you a brief insight into my economic literacy. During my scholastic secondary journey I was faced with a choice between pursuing Science or Business courses. I chose the latter because as a fifteen year old back in the 80s I envisioned myself sitting in an office as an accountant. In preparation for the fulfilment of that dream I received instructions in a wide variety of business areas such as office procedures, accounting, and principles of business. Upon graduating in 1991 I immediately landed several business related jobs in Kingstown, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, the beautiful country of my birth. Few years later I switched my career and embarked on teaching. After successfully completing my University Of the West Indies Teacher Education program I migrated to beautiful Canada and continued my teaching career at Greaves Adventist Academy, Montreal, Quebec, Canada in 2007 - 2011. Here is where my earlier passion for Business got reignited when I was appointed Business Teacher for Grade 10 to 11. I instructed students in four (4) major areas (Economics, Commercial Activities, Entrepreneurship, and Accounting). Most of those students went on to colleges and Universities in Montreal and continued their careers in those respective fields.

So now that you have gotten a lil insight into my business background I think you may clearly understand why I would be deemed a little "AHHHRIGHT" to instruct and encourage you along certain financial lines. Mind you I do not claim to know it all but I do have a lil knowledge to give my 2 cents of an opinion on things relating to this side of life. Since I no longer teach as a profession but now works in business it does me absolutely no good to just sit on all this economic knowledge which I've acquired over the years both scholarly and via real life experiences and do not impart it with my audience via this forum.

Now back to my personal wake up call to financial discipline and wellness. So After my not-so-nice introspection about my finances in January of this year I decided to start my exercise with a public statement which I posted n Facebook "Make 2019 a year of EXCESSIVE SAVING $$$ instead of excessive spending $$. #FinancialWisdom." I knew if I engage myself in educating and encouraging others about financial discipline that it will be a double edged sword strategy to getting myself committed to excessive savings for 2019.

SECRET #1
Remove all DEBIT & CREDIT CARDS from your wallet for 1 month. Go to the bank and withdraw just the cash your budget for the month requires. Do not take out one penny more. By doing this you are committed to desire only what that cash can afford. From my personal experience with debit and credit cards it is easier to swipe my card especially for big purchases than it is for me to readily give up my cash from my wallet. This is because when I swipe my credit or debit card I have no immediate physical evidence of the funds leaving my bank account or the credit card's supplier bank account way after the purchase when I am slapped with a bank statement showing that transaction or when I received that 19......% interest on a credit card repayment. In my view credit cards are like a gallows waiting to suck our wallets into its trap and pop us off.
After you try this challenge for 1 MONTH please let me know how this has impacted on your savings account.

SECRET #2
Treat your CREDIT CARD PURCHASE like a DEBIT CARD. Get that money right up front before you swipe that card to take it to your bank to pay that credit card right away. This immediate action prevents the excess accumulation of high interest on that money you borrowed. In most cases we end up paying double or even triple the amount we paid for that item. The reason for this is that we keep putting off that monthly payment or even the minimum interest and before you know it we are in debt over our heads which can negatively affect our credit scores.

SECRET #3
Return a FAITHFUL TITHES & OFFERING TO THE LORD as is stipulated in Malachi 3:8-10 (NKV). DO NOT ROB GOD!
"WILL A MAN ROB GOD?
YET YOU HAVE ROBED ME!
BUT YOU SAY,
IN WHAT WAY HAVE WE ROBBED YOU?
IN TITHES AND OFFERINGS.
YOU ARE CURSED WITH A CURSE,
FOR YOU HAVE ROBBED ME,
EVEN THIS WHOLE NATION
BRING ALL THE TITHES INTO THE STOREHOUSE
THAT THERE MAY BE FOOD IN MY HOUSE,
AND TRY ME NOW IN THIS,
SAYS THE LORD OF HOSTS,
IF I WILL NOT OPEN THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN
AND POUR OUT FOR YOU SUCH BLESSINGS
THAT THERE WILL NOT BE ROOM ENOUGH TO RECEIVE IT."

Most of my Facebook audience are quite knowledgeable about my stance relating to spiritual matters. I am a firm advocate of putting God Jehovah the MOST HIGH 1st and foremost in all things pertaining to this life here on earth. Our finances must be no exceptions. I try to uphold this principle and I must let you know I HAVE TASTED THE GOODNESS OF THE LORD IN ALL SPHERES OF MY LIFE. I invite you to this challenge and see for yourself how your finances can turn around. Trusting the word of God by FAITH and obeying Him in this regard with catapult you into financial prosperity and in all areas of your life. According to the Holy Scripture 1/10 % OF ALL OF OUR EARNINGS BELONGS TO GOD JEHOVAH! Leviticus  27:30 "and all the tithe from the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the trees is the Lord's; it is holy unto the LORD."

DEFINITION OF THE WORD TITHE!
Tithe is defined by Oxford American Dictionary as "one-tenth of the annual produce of agriculture etc. formerly paid as tax to support clergy and church.
 I can guarantee that if you make this commitment JESUS WILL TRULY HAVE YOUR BACK AS HE DOES FOR ME!

SECRET # 4
Save! Save! And Save!
I cannot stress this enough. It is so hard to save in a world that  fueled by consumerism  (an increasing consuming of goods economically desirable). When it comes to money our heart should never take the lead but rather our brain to ensure that every financial activity is well thought out critically and conscientiously so that it does not affect our savings negatively. As we say back in the islands "SAVE SOMETHING FOR THE RAINY DAY."
One of my viewers from one of my live Facebook sessions asked me how is this possible if a person is LIVING FROM PAY CHECK TO PAY CHECK. I said it is possible if that person does a couple overtime per week on his/her job and invest that toward their savings, find a part time job, or even start a business with something they are most passionate about. We need to desist from formulating excuses for not saving. As long as you have the knowledge anything is possible.

Thank you for coming on this ride with me I look forward to continuing this discussion in VOLUME #2 of SECRETS TO FINANCIAL INCREASE.

BEST OF SVG 2017 GOSPEL ARTISTE
Pearl was also voted by the people of St. Vincent and the Grenadines as the Best Gospel Artiste 2018 in the Best of SVG 2018 Awards showcase.

As a gospel artiste I admire her passion for ministry and she has inspired me to trust God to use me in music ministry. Having personally known her since 1991 she's proven to be a hard worker, godly, humble, and a dynamic woman at heart. She always has an encouraging word for me just at the right moment. She is definitely a role model to me and a paradigm for others to emulate and follow. Cuhcreations.blogspot.ca takes this opportunity to extend CONGRATULATIONS to Minister Pearl Mc Master, her family, friends, church, and the island of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines for the continued impact which her ministry is having on souls.

Entrepreneurship officially welcomed Chef Allona Jackson to its community On Sunday 27th May, 2018 when she launched her CULINARY COMPANY in New York under the theme "THE TASTE."

Having obtained training at one of the top culinary institutions in the United States Of America, Ms Jackson is a professional who 'showed up and showed out' at her event with her impressive showcase of a wide variety of exotic flavours, leaving quite an indelible impression on the persons who have attended. 

The event was held at Remsen Hall, Brooklyn, New York from 4:00PM to 9:00PM. It was well attended 50%  of whom were Vincentians. It is commendable to see that her own nationals went out in droves to show their solidarity  to one of their very own in this great milestone of her life.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF ALLONA'S CULINARY PASSION
In 2012 Allona took her first step on her journey to owning her food service business when she launched "VINCILLONA'S WEEKEND EATS AND CATERINGS." With the support of her family, friends, and persons within the Vincentian community in Brooklyn, NY, this venture was a wonderful and successful business for her. These early successes coupled with the joy she felt preparing the food she loves to cook and person's enjoyment of her delicacies served as the impetus  behind the her successful launch of her new company "LLONI" and reaffirming her conviction that she was born to cook.

A progressive individual, Allona went back to school to expand her culinary knowledge and skills. She purposed in her heart that she was going to hone the skills she's already possess, to learn the techniques of a professional chef, and expand her repertoire by including even a wider range of cuisines so she can better serve her fast growing clientele.

Hurrah to the Government and people of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. I have to say this is by far the best news I have heard about my island since the year has started. I am so happy that persons who domicile within the Vincentian diaspora can finally wave good-bye to Grantley Adams International Airport, Barbados and fly directly to their island without having to fret about their delayed or lost luggage. Ah bwoy LIAT I will see less post on Facebook from angry passengers whom you have rubbed the wrong way due to poor services that you have provided them.

Wait ah minute let me not get too excited about AMERICAN AIRLINES flying to meh lil island so fast yet eh. I actually have a bitter-sweet relationship with this airline eh. Wait nah, it was only 2 months ago on March 18 that I booked a flight with this airline to fly from meh home city Montreal to Carolina to board the Carnival Fascination cruise ship and to my dismay my trip was ruined before I even stepped my feet on this aircraft. The aircraft reportedly had "mechanical problems" and left me stranded in Montreal.

Well I had to throw this experience into this good news because I almost got carried away by meh excitement that I almost forgot how this airline almost messed up my first cruise to the Caribbean.

Ah aint no hater of American Airline and I am not raining pon Vincy parade since we are far away from the rainy season. I am hopeful that I will be the only Vincentian who have had this unpleasant experience with American Airlines. Enough of my tongue lashing and time for some real benefits that are to be derived from this new development. Should I? Nah I will wait for the numerous Facebook commentators to talk the things them in my newsfeed and will return with the details for you.

Well I have not blogged in months so I am just dropping in to celebrate this milestone with the lovely people of my island.

Love always,
Clairon

HAPPY 39TH INDEPENDENCE TO SAINT VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES

WRITTEN BY CLAIRON HAYNES (OWNER OF THIS BLOG!
October 27th 2018 marks the 39th anniversary since the southern Caribbean island of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines waved goodbye to mother country Britain from colonial rule. 
For Vincentians everywhere we look forward to this special historic day. The national colours BLUE, GOLD, AND GREEN give a colourful spectacle at the annual parade at Victoria Park in celebration of our national pride as an independent nation.

OUR NATIONAL FLAG
Green, Gold, and Blue combine with 3 diamonds to give us our flag.

WHAT DO THESE SYMBOLS REPRESENT?
The flag of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines was adopted on October 21, 1985. It is composed of 3 vertical bands of BLUE. YELLOW, and GREEN with 3 DIAMONDS centered in the yellow band and arranged in a V which stands for Saint Vincent. The diamonds recall Saint Vincent as the "GEM OF THE ANTILLES". Blue represents THE TROPICAL SKY AND CRYSTAL WATERS, green stands for THE ISLANDS' LUSH VEGETATION, and the yellow stands for THE ALMOST CONSTANT SUNSHINE & GOLDEN GRENADINE SANDS. 
OUR NATIONAL DISH
The national dish of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines constitutes 2 items. BREADFRUIT and JACK FISH.
BREADFRUIT

Breadfruit is a staple food grown in in many tropical parts of the world including Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. It is very rich in starch which transforms into sugar when ripe. The fruit is being roasted, baked, fried, or boil before it is eaten. It can be described as potato-like. or similar to freshly baked bread.

JACK FISH
Jack Fish is a specie of fish that belongs to the CARANGIDAE family. They can found in temperate and tropical portions of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans and occasionally in fresh or brackish water. It is characterised by laterally compressed bodies, or a row of enlarged scales along the sides near the tailfin, small scales resulting in a smooth appearance, and deeply forked tail. Many have a bluish green, silvery, or yellow sheen on the body. Jack fish seems to be a special fish to the policy makers of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines  for it to etch its name in our history books.

NATIONAL BIRD
The National Bird of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is the St. Vincent parrot (AMAZONA GUILDINGI).  It is the only type of parrot on the island and is a large beautiful coloured bird about 16-18 inches in length. The head is white, yellow, and violet.





A  POEM PUBLISH IN MY 1ST BOOK "It Strikes My Mind!" which chronicles my island. Take a listen
"MY PARADISE" by Clairon Haynes (copyrighted 2008)

Wearing the national colours with pride!

THE ROLE OF MUSIC IN THE CELEBRATION OF OUR HISTORIC MOMENT
1. Musician KENNETH "Vibrating Scakes" ALLEYNE wrote the perfect song "OUR NATION IS BORN" which became an instant national hit in 1979. Please take a listen!

"The song is synonymous with Vincentian independence." "Scates"competed in the first Independence Calypso competition and was crowned Independence Calypso King on October 27, 1979. Special thanks to JAMALI JACK for providing the video and background information about this iconic song.

2. ALSTON "Becket CYRUS" continued the trend that "Scates" sat with his PATRIOTIC SONG "I Love You Saint Vincent" which he released in 1977. The song is a DISCO SOCA arranged by Vincentian musical stalwart Frankie McIntosh.

3. GAMAL "Skiny Fabulous" DOYLE took over the baton and gave us "This Island Is Mine" in 2015. The song was produced by Alex Barnwell of St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

4. HAYDEN BILLINGY serenades us into 2017 with his REGGAE patriotic song "Good Life"

In celebration of my 4 years PROVIDING BLOG STORIES TO THE ONLINE POPULATION OF SAINT VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES I take this opportunity to showcase a little of my island to my readers. I  wish the government and my fellow citizens a HAPPY 38TH INDEPENDENCE. You are forever in my prayers and thoughts. I miss my island very much but I carry you in my heart forever. 

I LOVE YOU SAINT VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES
