Not only is Canada Day an important national holiday, it was also on this day last year that I really started to get Canadian Finance Blog noticed. Last Canada Day I hosted the Money Hacks Carnival – Canada Day Edition. Not only did this bring quite a few bloggers that didn’t know about the site over to visit, it was also my first foray into social media sites like Tip’d, PF Buss, Digg, and StumbleUpon. I also finished up an interview with Larry MacDonald that would be published in the Globe and Mail a few days later, the first press this site received.
Today I want to share with you some of the great Canadian finance blogs that are out there. Some you will know of for sure, but hopefully you’ll find some that you haven’t visited before. I’ve separated them into four very distinct sets of six blogs, let’s have a look…
The Big Guys
These sites inspire me to keep growing my blog. Not only do they post great articles, they have done a great job of promoting their site to gain so many readers.

The Niche Bloggers
Whether it’s anything from taxes to retirement planning, these blogs specialize in a certain topic, which allows them to go more in depth and provide some great information.
- Canadian Tax Resource

The New Breed
Some great sites have started up since Canadian Finance Blog came along. Hopefully I’ve helped to get them some exposure in the same way that the other sites above have helped me!

- Balance Junkie
- Canadian Couch Potato
- Young and Thrifty
- Bank Nerd
- Before You Invest

Thanks for the mention, I’m still at it after 6 years now, pretty amazing.
Happy Canada Day from Ottawa!
I can verify that you’ve definitely helped me! This is a great post for Canada Day and I’m honoured to be included. You’ve introduced me to a couple of new blogs here that I’m definitely going to check out.
Happy Canada Day!
Happy Canada Day from your southern neighbor!
What a great idea to share fellow Canadian bloggers with your readers. Although I do read many of these there are some new ones (to me) that I’ll be checking out.
Thanks a lot for the mention.
You’ve put together a pretty good list of Canadian blogs.

How come you didn’t mention Gail’s blog? She’s been around for a couple of years now and even showed up in the Globe & Mail thing they did. I read her first thing every morning. Here’s her link: http://www.gailvazoxlade.com/blog
Donna,
I knew I wouldn’t get everyone covered, but Gail has a great site. I’m actually reading her book, Debt-Free Forever, and hope to have a review up soon!
Thanks for the mention Tom! Great list….
Really strong list Tom, thanks so much for including me.
Great choice of blogs, I even found some new favorites I didn’t know about before, thanks!
Hey, thanks so much for including me as the new breed (and little guys!) =)
Happy Canada Day! I pulled out the sweatshirt (“CANADA” per The Bay) I was wearing during the Olympics… so proud to be a Canadian, it’s what we’re all “aboot”, right?
Thanks for helping me out- and your blog inspires me to better my blog =)
PS I’m going to bookmark this page so I can remember which blogs are Canadiana =) Thanks again!
Thanks for the mention Tom! I don’t know how I missed this link until today.
The funny thing is that most other pf bloggers don’t even know that I’m Canadian.
my blog didn’t make the cut
Can’t believe I forgot to thank you for the mention! But you should know, I’m probably the sloppiest of the bloggers when it comes to that stuff. lol
that’s a lot of candadian finance websites… thanks for the post though. i’ve just browsed them all
Very informative Canvas, Consumer Credit Counseling or IamDebtFree.com is a credit counseling agency based in Burnaby and Victoria regions in BC. It offers consumer credit counseling to individuals and companies to help them make easier repayment of their loans and credit card payments with debt consolidation loans etc.
Great collection of finance blogs! It is amazing how many people are volunteering their time to offer useful information.
