Investment scams are on the rise. If it sounds too good to be true, it likely is. Don’t provide funds to anyone for a promise of a quick return, easy money, etc. A promissory note or other document may not be the protection it appears to be if things go wrong & the money is gone.

I didn’t watch the debate, but the memes sure are good.

This is why all Canadians think Canadian politics are boring. 🤷🏼‍♀️
