Northwood Family Office CEO Outlines Why Canada is a Premier Destination for Wealthy Families Looking to Protect and Build Family Wealth

Northwood Family Office CEO Outlines Why Canada is a Premier Destination for Wealthy Families Looking to Protect and Build Family Wealth











(PRWEB) October 20, 2010

Wealthy global families are becoming increasingly aware of their need for a well thought-out citizenship and residency strategy to protect their wealth and to safeguard their freedom of movement. Those who have begun to examine this complex subject will have found the problem is not a lack of options. Rather, it is identifying the right ones and, probably more importantly, avoiding the wrong ones.

Canada is one of the world’s best kept secrets. Canada provides a safe and surprisingly tax-efficient alternative to many of the more well-known citizenships that the wealthy can consider acquiring. It hasn’t always shown up on the list of potential countries for wealthy families looking for additional citizenships or residences. The reason is its (partly unfair) reputation as a high-tax and chilly-weather destination as well as the perception that better alternatives might be available.

But things have changed and so have the perceptions. Canada is now recognized as a much more attractive destination for wealthy families, particularly from a tax efficiency and ease of immigration perspective. At the same time, the relative attractiveness of other destinations (such as the US, UK, Switzerland, and Caribbean tax havens) has waned, for well-publicised reasons.

Mr. McCullough explains: “For the first time in many years, a confluence of factors is causing many wealthy families to add Canada to the list of countries they are evaluating as part of their citizenship and residency strategy. Canada rates at or near the top of virtually all the global ‘livability’ studies, based on the attractive culture, environment, education, healthcare and stable democratic government. A Canadian passport is at or near the top of the world passport pyramid as measured by flexibility and mobility (when it is needed most). And finally, Canada offers a surprisingly-attractive tax regime for high net worth immigrants, while housing a world-class professional services and financial infrastructure.”

Religion Without Faith

A little boy pushed his tiny hand into the Pastor’s and said “morning pastor, can I ask you a question?” The Pastor, with his usual warm smile said “Sure Billy, what is it?” “Well” said Billy, “I was wondering what it means to be a Christian”?

“Well Billy” responded the Pastor, “I talk about that every Sunday. I will be explaining it again this morning, but just so you don’t have to wait, a Christian is just someone who has given up their sin to the Lord and accepted him as their savior”.

Billy looked puzzled for a moment, and asked “so a Christian is someone who shouldn’t sin anymore right”? “That’s right”, acknowledged the Pastor, “and when they don’t sin, you can see their joy. They are kind and helpful to others. They stand out in a crowd. They are the kind of people you would like to be around Billy. Do you understand?”

Billy, obviously wrestling with his response, hesitatingly nodded his head and said “uh huh, I think so, but, but, but can you tell me, have I ever seen one?”

While this is a humorous story as most stories about children are, Billy’s question brings attention to an alarming trend in Christianity. Today we have so many different ideas floating around about what it means to be a “Christian” that we too are tempted to ask the question “have I ever seen one”? One cannot help but wonder how some who claim to be believers can act like those who do not believe.

Many centuries ago, in a world much smaller than today, it was a crime to be a Christian. In fact, it was a crime just to be accused of being a Christian. It took only an unsubstantiated accusation to bring an end to one’s freedom. If a business competitor wanted you out of the picture, all they needed to do was to make an official complaint that they heard you praying to the Christian God and the authorities moved swiftly against you.

For a short period of time under Roman rule, if you were found guilty of such a heinous crime as believing in the Son of God, the person who filed the complaint was awarded your property. One had no recourse. They either admitted their guilt and suffered or denied their guilt and suffered. For evil-minded people, this legislative blunder gave them a new way to cheat and steal. You can imagine how quickly this got out of hand.

Then there was a period in history when almost the opposite was true. The Emperor Constantine, after reportedly seeing the sign of a cross in the sky with the words “In this sign conquer”, proclaimed himself to be a Christian. It immediately became socially beneficial to declare one’s self a Christian. Never mind that there was no actual conversion or regeneration; it was socially expedient to be labeled a Christian.

Sadly, the same thing can be said about many today who name that blessed name. Certain social advantages have manifested themselves for those who give the appearance that they are religious. This is especially true with celebrities. From the rock star who prays with their group before a performance to the professional athlete who points to heaven after scoring in a gesture aimed at making you think they know God; it is popular to come across as religious. This spiritual mentality has manifested itself at all levels of society and is has ecumenically transcended denominational creeds and beliefs. If you appear “religious” you are accepted by all.

But this religion is not fueled by faith and without faith there can be no true religion. There is no evidence of conversion, no thirst for the Word, and no reverence for the one they claim to know. In fact, there is a total disregard for the holiness of God. These are new age Christians. They do not exercise their faith, they sport it on irreverent t-shirts that say “This blood is for you” or “Jesus gym”, which depicts a long-haired Jesus as a weight-lifter.

Let us not forget the ever-popular acronym “WWJD” or “What Would Jesus Do” slogan. Theologically, there is nothing wrong with asking ourselves this question. Indeed, we are encouraged to consider what Jesus would do if confronted with the same circumstances? We should ask ourselves “What would Jesus do? How can I honor my Lord in this thing?”

Pragmatically, if we listen to the new age crowd’s answer, it seems that Jesus would do a lot of things that traditional Christians would find questionable, and that are in conflict with Jesus’ own words. Somehow, I just cannot envision the Son of God blowing up an abortion clinic. I can’t see him blasting out an ungodly heavy metal noise from an electric guitar to “bless” a congregation. And there are a hundred other things I know he would not do that others do “in his name”.

The problem is that people unskilled and even unfamiliar with the Word of God are gathering large followings and spewing out their humanistic, erroneous views of God. It is the old “if it feels good, it must be right” mentality. There are little, if any, doctrinal stands, and any mention of traditional Christian values are scorned. The consequences are grave. It gives false hope to a faithless religion.

This rapidly growing shift towards religious zeal without foundational understanding of Bible doctrine is no nuance. It is a major change in philosophy that uses religion to make humanism and pluralism more palatable. Worse yet, many of those strong in traditional faith are starting to think maybe this new brand of faithless religion isn’t really that bad after all.

True Christians must be vigilant. Jesus warned there would come a falling away from the faith. He said there would be wolves in sheep’s clothing and we are seeing that today. Charles Spurgeon warned of this slippery slope that Christendom was on well over 120 years ago. He said that entertainment would find its way into our churches and eventually people would come to be entertained, not to worship.

The question needs to be asked, “Are we to feed the sheep or entertain goats”?

Usa Overcomes Constitutional Bumps to Implement Smoking Bans!

Smoking bans are the most preferred and implemented measures taken up in order to combat the epidemic of smoking addiction. The smoking bans found easy implementation following the fact that smoking is an evil that also has characteristics like passive smoking and contaminating the environment at large. In most of the developed countries smoking has been banned indoors. Even in the places like pubs and restaurants where smoking was a common sight and a trend the ban has been implemented. In many of the countries the concerned authorities have also gone a step further and passed smoking bans in the outdoors like the parking lots, roads, schools vicinity etc. People are also found to be warmly welcoming the acts for the greater good of the society and the smokers have no other choice but to accept the rules. They can definitely go against the laws but at the risk of paying huge penalties. So it is natural that people decide otherwise.

However, banning of smoking is not all that easy as it seems to be. The governments or the concerned authorities have to take many related issues into account. Various financial, political, and social issues have to be addressed in order to take steps like banning of one of the most pervasive and revenue generating addictions.

US have one of the largest smoking addicted populations. It is nothing short of an epidemic in this country, in fact in US huge expenses are incurred in treating the smoking related illnesses. The human resource that it was losing was another matter of grave concern and hence the need of smoking bans. There was however, a very major hurdle towards achieving this goal. The US constitution prevents the implementation of any form of smoking ban in the country by the United States Congress under the federal law. This rule is laid down in Article One of the constitution. But as they say, where there is a will there is a way. Different states of USA came up with smoking bans in their respective states as according to the Tenth Amendment of the Constitution the power to enact smoking bans were vested with the states. Thus, the purpose was solved without making the extreme move of violating the Constitution of the country.

This is a lesson to learn from for India which is also a country where smoking is extremely widespread. India also has a large number of people addicted to chewing tobacco. Still India has not experienced any effective smoking bans as of now. In India the Amendment of the Constitution also becomes a very thorny subject primarily because of the innumerable number of parties existing in this country. But where the matter of public welfare comes in, all the other differences should be kept aside and a way out should be sought amicably. It is indeed sad when the Constitution which is for the welfare of the people, comes in the way of its very purpose.

Today, giving up the addiction of smoking has become easier with the help of the quit smoking drugs. Pfizer chantix is a popular quit smoking pill. The drug is easily available in the online pharmacies from where you can buy chantix online. The chantix side effects can be dangerous at times hence the prescription is mandatory. The good news is that the drug is marketed online and no constitution objects to buying or selling of quit smoking drugs.

The author is a health expert and writes articles on various issues related to the causes as well as consequences of smoking and also on the quit smoking medicine
chantix. For more information, details and advice on smoking related matters, visit the website chantixhome.com

Nick Pope used to run the British Government’s UFO project at the Ministry of Defense. Initially skeptical, his research and investigation into the UFO phenomenon and access to formerly classified government files on the subject soon convinced him that the phenomenon raised important defense and national security issues, especially when the witnesses were military pilots or where UFOs were tracked on radar. Early Research: Between 1991 and 1994, He was posted to a division called Secretariat (Air Staff) and was given the job of researching and investigating the UFO phenomenon, mirroring the work done in the US by the now defunct Project Blue Book. Although most of the cases could be explained as misidentifications of known objects and phenomena, a hard core of sightings defied any conventional explanation. His unique access to new data and old government files convinced him that the UFO phenomenon raised serious defense and national security issues. He came across numerous instances where UFOs had been tracked on radar, leading to jets being scrambled. Strong evidence emerged suggesting the presence of structured craft capable of speeds and maneuvers beyond the capability of even the most advanced prototype craft operated by the Royal Air Force or the United States Air Force. He now continues his research in a private capacity and is recognized as a leading authority on UFOs and the unexplained. He does extensive media work, lectures all around the world and has acted as
