This advertising-free site depends on assistance from readers. Contributions only partially offset costs such as site hosting, computer equipment and software, internet and telephone services, and subscriptions to the many journals and news sources that inform the writer.

E-transfer may be the best way to contribute. You don’t share financial information with the recipient and the transfer is immediate and cost. Here’s how to send money by Interac e-Transfer:

1. Log into your online or mobile banking app, choose transfers and select the account from which you wish to send money.
2. Choose or add Norman Farrell to your contacts, using the email address: NORMANFARRELL.CA@GMAIL.COM
3. Enter the amount.

Or, you could forward a cheque to:

• Norman Farrell, 1261 Seymour Blvd., North Vancouver, BC V7J 2J7

PAYPAL transfers money quickly and charges the recipient a fee of about 3 percent.
