Understanding The Baby Walker Ban:   In 2004, Canada became the first country in the world to ban the sale, import, and advertisement of baby walkers.  This decision surprised many parents and caregivers, especially since baby walkers had been a popular baby product for decades.  But what led to this bold move, and what can families learn from it today?

Understanding The Basics Of Gas Pricing: Gasoline prices are closely tied to crude oil costs. Crude oil is the primary ingredient in gasoline, and its price directly influences what consumers pay at the pump.  For every barrel of oil, there are 42 gallons.

Understanding The Fake Toll Text Scam: Scammers are sending fake text messages claiming you owe money for an unpaid toll. These messages often include a link, urging you to pay immediately.  If you click on the link, you may be directed to a fraudulent website that steals personal information or installs malware on your device. The messages may look real, using official looking logos or similar wording to legitimate toll agencies. However, most toll authorities do not request payments through text messages. If you receive one, it is likely a scam.
