To start today's blog post out by saying, I do not usually talk politics on this blog but today is an exception as this has been on my mind for the last month or so since they announced this was going to happen here in Ontario and Canada. I will try to keep it PG but not guaranteeing anything. Trust me there is a lot on my mind with this and I will definitely be making my points.
First point I would like is they have now raised it to $14 minimum wage and will be raising it to $15 as of early 2019. Now my question is, how in the world are the businesses going to be able to pay their employees 15 dollars per hour? What I think will happen is they keep this up they will have to lay off some of their employees which means the number of unemployed people will be up. Now I am hoping that it would of gone up not gone down, no damn clue what the hell this government is doing and why they wanna up it. Yes it is good for us the people who are working minimum wage, but it hurts the businesses in the long run too. Makes no sense raising it if it will hurt the businesses, especially the smaller businesses as well. I wondered if I was still with the bookstore, if I would still have my job still but probably I wouldn't have a job if I was still in the working world.
One thing is if the Progressive Conservative Party wins this years election as we are heading to the polls, they want to slowly increase the minimum wage here compare to the nut case who is the Premiere of Ontario, so it would be more then likely better, however you never know with who is in power, but change is always good. I hope the government doesn't rush minimum wage as I said above, it can hurt businesses, especially the smaller businesses, we do not want to see companies go under due to going bankrupt or not able to pay their employees which it ends up in unemployment for some.
Have a great day!

Why is Everything About Reality TV Podcast Successful After 2 years?
Everything About Reality TV has been successful because I have connected with other podcasters which has helped me drastically. This also has helped my podcast grow as I have had likes and retweets, however I do not get many likes or Retweets often but that's ok though, I know you guys see the posts as from to time I will glance at the analytics to the tweet itself and I can see how many people I have reached in that particular tweet. Also the fact I constantly am reminding you guys the podcast is coming out soon does help and any special reminders I have made to scheduling changes or the podcast is delayed a day or two. I am always constantly updating you guys on the podcast and I think that has helped me quite a lot in this podcast journey!
Also I do hashtags, such as #EverythingAboutRealityTV, #podcast or #podcaster. So that helps the podcast get noticed out there and I use the appropriate hashtags for the content I put out there on social media that is another reason why my podcast has been successful for the past 2 years and 5 months to be exact. If you are to be a content creator, whether you are putting content on YouTube, on a podcast or a blog post, make sure to put in the hashtags, like I said that is what I do.
The next reason why the podcast is a success is because of the platforms my podcast is on. Yes I know it started on Mixcloud then Podcasts.com, TuneIn, Player FM & ITunes and the list goes on. My strategy towards that was the platforms that will get the most views and honestly I believe that I made the right choice on what platforms I have put it on. TuneIn.com & ITunes are well know platforms for podcasts, TuneIn also well known for radio stations both online and local radio stations as well. Player FM, I made the right choice going back to them after a very short stint with them late 2016, however, they have featured me on their website under Reality TV section of the website, which is so amazing and probably why my podcast has seen it's success as I connected with such amazing platforms and they have been helpful when I have had issues with it updating. These are the reasons why my podcast is successful and I hope you enjoyed this post and there will be another blog post tomorrow.

Which Power Ranger(s) Are My Favorite As a Kid?
First of all, I would like to say this is not being covered in the slew of the Power Rangers Talk mini series coming out twice a year at least as much as I can get Larry to do this for, but hoping for twice a year but anyways today's blog post I wanna kind of talk about my favorite all time Power Rangers and I don't have too many favorites as I have season the first several seasons I have watched. Honestly I can only think of 2 power rangers I liked but I will put a top 5 list at least, so without further ado, here is my list:
1) Tommy: He was the Green Ranger, which he started at the Green With Evil 5 parts episodes, then he lost his Green Ranger powers, then became the White Ranger. In Zeo the following series, he became the Red Zeo Ranger, then part of the Turbo series for at least 10 - 15 episodes. Tommy came back as the teacher and also DR. O as well. He became the Black Dino Ranger within the first 5 to 10 episodes. He is and always will clearly be my favorite Ranger and I'm sure it was everyone's favorite ranger back in the 90's those who grew up with this during the 90's
2) The second one on my list is Jason, the original Red Ranger and will forever be known as the Original Red Ranger. He was one of my favorites before Tommy was introduced but the dropped to the second favorite on my list on today's blog. Also Jason was the Gold Ranger so that is another reason, I have him high on my list.
3) Now this isn't really too easy but I know he's not an ranger or called a Ranger but was part of the Lost Galaxy but the Magna Defender has to be one of my favorite even though he was against the Rangers but in the end letting go of his hate and giving up his life to save the rangers. The Mike coming back and becoming the NEW Magna Defender.
4) Karone: She was Astronema in the previous season of Power Rangers, the Lost In Space season, but took over the pink ranger role when Kendrix died in the season and I love how she tried to get away with her still being Astronema when she was pure good once again, after the Rangers won but was able to get the Quazar Sabre back and able to get it back.
5) Leo, used his Battlizer and blasted Trakeena destroying her for good, also took over when Mike fell into the hole. The reason he's on my list is because he was quite a strong ranger even though he messed up going on Terra Venture when he didn't get his pass to get on it, he made up for it when he became the Red Ranger.
That is my list for my favorite power rangers of all times, hope you enjoyed reading my list as I enjoyed writing this list for you guys. If you haven't yet please do subscribe to the blog for more daily to every 2nd day blog posts and you are welcome to leave a comment if you wish as well. I should of mentioned that before but I am mentioning it right now.

Getting Forgetful/Clumsy or So Much On My Plate Right Now?
With the recent last few days being busy, my brain has seemed to wonder away from time to time as I got so much to remember to do before a due date hits, so maybe it is why I am getting to become more forgetful or clumsy with things and I will talk about this in today's blog post and what is going on with me recently why I feel like I am always forgetting something or clumsy and screwing things up on myself. Maybe the fact I have been going non stop getting ready for the 100th episode which is this week, mind you and the lack of sleep that I have been getting with all the work load that keeps on piling up on me but that could be a factor in why I haven't been able to think clearly.
Like I said before, I haven't been sleeping, yes once again the sleep issue has become a factor in why I cannot think clearly, I am clearly tired and just cannot think or my thoughts are not coming across clearly and you can tell through my posts on social media that I sometimes make no sense or I go on a rant or lose my cool and my moods have not been good all of last week and this weekend, so the factor of no sleep has really shown lately and tonight I think I will finally sleep at last! Hopefully this is the last no sleep at night for a very long time.
As for the forgetful side of things, well it could be I have a lot on my plate and I just have a lot going on, prepping for off season podcasts and yes I realize I am going straight into Survivor and Big Brother Canada as of next week but I mean I am preparing for the off season for the end of May so their can be content coming out on the off season but planning one every 2nd week which I will talk about in a blog post in the month of May. But the fact of having a lot going on, does make a difference of me not able to remember everything at once, so this is why I got reminders all over the place, sticky note on my desktop, sticky notes on my desk or sticking to my stand for my 2 monitors, this does help me a lot to remember these things.
Finally I wanna make a note there will be NO Blog post tomorrow, taking the day off from Chris B On The Web, blog posts resume on Tuesday for those here in Canada that are celebrating Family Day Holiday, have a safe and happy Family Day and I will be back on Tuesday, back to the grind of things!

Where Have I Been Lately?
I know, I haven't been quite as active on social media and missed out days here on the blog and the reason for it, my mom had surgery so I have been taking care of her and like I have said many times, my family comes first and I have been busy taking care of my mom while she recovers from day surgery. Let me assure you, she's doing well now being 4 days since the surgery was done and recovering quite well.
Now I am sure you will say, but Chris what about the blog, podcast, well with this week being a very hectic week, the schedule is going to be a bit different from what it usually is but you guys read the blogs and you guys listen to the podcast even if it isn't on the schedule as it says on the website, please do not pay attention to it if I mention it here on the blog, on social or even I think I will change the scheduled time on the website this way it is always up to date and actually I can do that via my desktop calendar so it makes it easy for me to change the schedule and I did that for today's blog post.
If you wonder, don't think I don't do anything between helping my parents out since my mom is laid up in her recliner, I have very much been busy behind the scenes, offline working on the off season podcasts & of course working on the 100th episode notes for Everything About Reality TV which mind you now have to get tweaked a bit but that's OK with me, you have to make tweaks to make things better or to improve on it, so been working on that, made a few tweaks to the website this week as well with my mug shot at the top of the website and on the about page as well needed a better picture and think this fits it very well. Also been talking to the individuals who will be appearing or hopefully will be popping by the studio next Thursday, giving them details of the 100th episode. Just got a couple of concerns. So I have been busy behind the scenes, don't think I am not doing anything, because I am quite busy with the busy schedule ahead of me. Between helping my mom and also my dad with dinners, I am very much on a very hectic schedule but still keeping up with everything here in the studio as well, but busy is a good thing, keeps me out of trouble, LOL!
Have a great night!

Degrassi: Next Class Returning?
I have been watching Degrassi since 2001 when it was still known as Degrassi: The Next Generation and here and there seen the next class but not as much. Please note I have seen Degrassi: Junior High, Degrassi: High and of course the movie Degrassi: Schools Out, so I am very familiar with the franchise, note I was only a baby when it started out in the 1980s or not yet born.
I know I noticed that the series went mysteriously off air for a little while. I started to guess hiatus? the series could of been cancelled? That was my first thought at first but I just looked before writing and season 5 is coming out sometime in the summer but do not know when it is coming out at this moment exactly in the summer. I am guessing sometime in July at least which gives them plenty of time to tape all 10 episodes for the season as it is 10 episodes a season right now. I knew though, that Degrassi isn't over and it would be back, I guess the writers and producers needed time to come up with ideas for the episodes, writing the script, read through then the taping of the episodes, editing the episodes then sending it to the networks it's on, so it does take time to do all of this.
I know Degrassi has been on the air for a very long time over 10 years, 17 years it's been running since 2001, moving from the Next Generation to Next class, Linda Schuyler has done an amazing job with each and every season and trust me it kept me on edge the entire time from episode to episode. I really am excited to see what the new season brings but I do need to catch up on Season 4 so I get the jiff of what is going on. I had that feeling they needed time to figure out the story lines in the series to where it will end up in the upcoming season or seasons, Finally I can see this series lasting as long as the Next Generation did.
Have a great day!
