Gurman twins promote MK status at Yeh! Yogurt and Café on Radio Shalom's Money and Business Program

Appearing on Radio Shalom 1650 AM, Canada's only all-Jewish radio station, brothers Jon and Marvin Gurman spoke about their decision to have their Quartier Cavendish Yeh! Yogurt and Café location go under rabbinic supervision. They were guests on the Money and Business Show, co-hosted by Samuel Ezerzer, Adam Eidelmann  and Bryan Wolofsky.

Robert Levy, Marvin Gurman, Samuel Ezerzer and Jon Gurman.

It was an entertaining one hour of radio on a station that really has been inappropriately ignored by the organized Jewish community.  Kudos to founder Robert Levy for his efforts and patience in this endeavor. Besides Ezerzer's excellent program, folks like Howie Silbiger, Stan Asher,  Sidney Dworkin,  Dan "Schmelvis" Hartal and  Avi Kimchi are well worth listening to.

You can hear the entire show by clicking here. It is  in a clever YouTube format developed by Ezerzer.

From the time the   Yeh! store opened last May at Quartier Cavendish, all of the products were kosher. However, the Gurmans decided to take the extra step and seek certification of MK-Canada’s Kosher Certifier and have Cavendish serve as the “flagship store” for kosher franchises. 

The Gurmans respond to a question from Eidelmann.

On the Money and Business Show, the Gurmans offered free yogurt for a year to the first family that decides to have a brith at the Quartier Cavendish location. The brit milah is a Jewish religious male circumcision ceremonyperformed on eight-day-old male infants (actually on the eighth day of the infant's life).

As for the MK status, Marvin Gurman stated: “It’s a natural merger of two great brands, MK and Yeh!. Our goal is to get MK hashgacha in all nine locations currently in Montreal, and we hope it will lead to kosher franchises in other cities as well.”

In addition to frozen yogurt, Yeh!  also serves dessert crepes, and are working on lunch crepes for the kosher crowd as well.  The stores rotate through several flavours, some of which are pareve. “You will always find pareve chocolate, as well as at least one of mango, grapefruit, or lime sorbets,” says Jon Gurman. “The standard dairy flavours are plain, chocolate, and Greek honey, with five additional rotating flavours that included cheesecake, peanut butter, strawberry, blueberry, and pina colada. Eventually no-sugar-added flavours will be added as well.”

Of course self-serve yogurt is nothing without toppings. In addition to several kinds of fresh fruit, there are other healthy options such as flax, granola, and kashi. Patrons looking for something sweeter can choose sprinkles, cookie dough, Hershey’s chocolate, and Reese’s Pieces.  In addition to the toppings, Yeh! provides Ghirardelli syrup in three flavours, as well as hot toppings such as hot fudge. The yogurts and toppings are all cholov stam (milk or dairy products that have been under constant rabbinic supervision from the time of milking the cows until the completion of production and packaging the product).

With the advent of certification through the MK, Yeh! hopes to add catering to their services. “This would involve pre-packaged portions,” says Marvin Gurman. “We will even be introducing  pink kippot!”

The store at Cavendish has seating for almost 20, and an outdoor patio for summer. The décor, featuring mostly pink, is bright and cheerful. According to Mitchell Simon, who is in charge of store development for the company, the MK certification will be in place for a grand Chanukah celebration.

Banking and Securities Regulatory Compliance
“Online Security Threats for Customers of Financial Institutions: Buyer Beware”

with Adam Sculthorpe, Founder of bitVelocity
(226) 821-4443 

Today’s topic of discussion: “Online Security Threats for Customers of Financial Institutions: Buyer Beware”
Recently the US Federal Reserve was hacked and compromised the privacy data of over 4,000 US bank executives. This is a serious breach of privacy where information leakage, including identity theft, can disrupt the lives of many.

                                                                 

Financial institutions are particularly vulnerable to these online security threats, ranging from the US Federal Reserve, to banks taking customer deposits, to investment banks with trillions of customer assets at their disposal.
On our show today we will focus on the types and impact of various online security threats to customers of financial institutions.

My name is Samuel Ezerzer, your host to the Money & Business show on Radio Shalom, CJRS 1650 AM. With Maurice Cousineau Co-Host.

Pooled Registered Pension Plans with The Honourable Peter Van Loan Leader of the Government in the House of Commons

February 1rst 2012 AT 4:30PM

Direct from Ottawa
topic Pooled Registered Pension Plans (PRPPs)

The Honourable Peter Van Loan
Leader of the Government in the House of Commons

York–Simcoe (Ontario)

Peter Van Loan was first elected to the House of Commons in 2004 and re-elected in 2006, 2008 and 2011. Mr. Van Loan was appointed President of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada, Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs and Minister for Sport in November 2006, and was named Leader of the Government in the House of Commons and Minister for Democratic Reform in January 2007. He was appointed Minister of Public Safety in October 2008 and Minister of International Trade in January 2010.
Prior to entering public life, Mr. Van Loan worked as partner and chair of the Planning and Development Law Group with the national law firm Fraser Milner Casgrain LLP. He has also been an adjunct professor of planning at the University of Toronto.




Mr. Van Loan has been active in the community, serving as a member of the Georgina Economic Development Committee, a former executive member of the Canadian Bar Association – Ontario, Municipal Section, and a member of the Ontario Brownfields Advisory Panel.
Mr. Van Loan obtained a master of science degree in planning and a master of arts in international relations from the University of Toronto and a law degree from Osgoode Hall Law School.



Questions
- Mr. Van Loan -Leger Marketing poll released Tuesday said that  Ottawa’s new Pooled Registered Pension Plans (PRPPs) are supported by 68% of employers not already offering a pension plan,  a poll  of 803 senior managers in small and medium sized Canadian businesses showed that 71% agree employers should be required to offer some form of pension to workers.  Are executives and owners of small and medium sized businesses are they “ready to embrace PRPPs as they look for new ways to keep employees and attract new people. There seems to be a fundamental shift” in the pension landscape in small size businesses in Canada that supports Ottawa’s new initiative ?

Mr. Van Loan -The conservative government  has been studying all aspects of Canada’s pension and retirement savings options for several years now. Some of that research noted that many middle-income Canadians are not saving enough to maintain their current standard of living in retirement? Is that the root the problem that Canadians are not saving enough?

-Mr.Van Loan The Conservative government moved Tuesday to limit debate on a pension reform bill that will create new Pooled Retirement Pension Plans. You argued the move to invoke a process called “time allocation” was justified because the Conservatives won the last election by campaigning on the need for Pooled Registered Pension Plans PRPPs. Why is the opposition  so determined to keep Canadians from having that option?”

-Mr.Van Loan The debate over PRPPs comes as pension reform has suddenly jumped to the top of the
political agenda in Ottawa. Prime Minister Stephen Harper surprised many last week by signaling changes that are needed to Old Age Security to ensure that it is sustainable, are changes raised speculation the government intends to change the eligibility for Canada's Old Age Security to reduce its cost as more baby boomers retire in the coming years. Is that true are there going to be changes to the old age security?

Mr.Van Loan -The government argues that Pooled Registered Pension Plans PRPPs will help by targeting employees of small businesses that do not currently offer workplace pensions. These small businesses would auto-enroll new hires into the system, though workers would have the right to opt out. Federal rules would not force employers to contribute to their workforce Pooled Registered Pension Plans PRPPs, though provinces could make such contributions mandatory. So which jurisdiction does the  Pooled Registered Pension Plans fall into the federal or provincial ?

The contributions to PRPPs would be managed by the private sector at “low cost,” but the legislation does not define what low cost will mean in practice.
(With the bells calling MPs to vote on the motion, NDP MP Chris Charlton held a hurried news conference to announce that – as opposition whip – she would be refusing to perform her ceremonial duties of walking down the aisle with Mr. Van Loan to kick off the vote as a form of protest.
She said it was “absolutely ridiculous” for the government to move time allocation after one day of debate. Ms. Charlton claimed the move is connected to controversy over Mr. Harper’s speech last week in which he signalled changes were coming to Old Age Security.
{This is not completely true as there are not yet enough sepcific funds.  It is in part true and I will discuss a few appropriate funds.  These are not, however, a retirement vehicle for seniors but rather are appropriate for younger investors}
