A heat wave, at least in Canada, has resulted in some record temperatures and nearly unbelievable thermostat readings this past week.  With temperatures surpassing 40°C (that's 104°F for the American readers) and even getting as hot as 46° (114°F) where some of BMI's staff is, it is understanda...

Among the Wellth team, there is a great affinity for the use of malaphors.  A malaphor is combining two common sayings together into a singular (and perhaps humorous) expression.  The title of this newsletter itself is the combination of, "you can lead a horse to water, but ...
