Do you think that really matters to a bank?

True story....wife and I were shopping in Chinatown Vancouver, nobody would accept a $100 bill so we wandered down to E. Hasting and Columbia to Pigeon Park Savings. Behind us in line two guys were smoking crack in the bank line up. Out from an office comes the bank manager who said "sorry, we won't be cashing your cheque, you can go to Money Mart".

I have to assume that is because they were smoking crack in the bank. If they were just waiting in line normally they would most likely have been served.

The governments want to know who we are and what we are saying, the police and other
authorities would merely be gathering the information. The reason is quite simple, until
now they could tap the phone or read your mail, now we have social media and they have
a difficult time trying to control it. If people actually had a means to speak their mind with
real truths that the government could not influence, control or monitor that would be a very
bad thing indeed. How can you control ideas and thinking when you know some of the
content and you don't identify who said it? The government is afraid of us having such a
liberating experience therefore they must find a reason for us to accept and give up our
new found freedom. There is one positive thing about this, both the Liberal and Conservative
elements of power are equally as afraid.
See the Internet could be what draws us together or indeed sets the seeds of our own social
destruction, and it all depends on who controls the leavers and who gets control first.
In any event if we could come back a century down the road we would not even recognize the
landscape socially or politically. Have a good day my fellow lemmings if we allow the government
to control the Internet.

It's still a refusal.

Not a refusal based upon it being a welfare check. The refusal was based upon illegal activity on private property which is quite legitimate. They are very lucky the cops weren't called.

Cashing your Government of Canada Cheque for Free
Under Canadian law, you have the right to cash your Government of Canada cheque for free.

You can cash a Government of Canada cheque for free at any bank, even if you are not a customer.

If Canadian companies were to pull out of all the resource ventures world wide, you'd be unemployed and starving by the end of next week.



Why would I, or anyone else be unemployed if Canadian Companies pull out of resource ventures around the world?

Probably because quite a few Canadian resource companies would cease to exist, and those Canadians employed, and the spin offs created by that, would end. It's a funny thing how the economy works.

So if Goldcorp or others pull out of African or South American mines that would do what to Canadians employment numbers?
