2008..... another year of record profits. People talk about Canadian banks being profitable as if they were well run institutions catering to their target market and they like that spin. Major investors talk about Canadian banks being profitable because of practices like naked shorting that...

Top financial center and yet I am unable to purchase shares listed on the London Stock Exchange through the Royal Bank. If I can find someone to help me it is 250% higher transaction fee. Still worth it to get away from New York imo. 99% of all Canadian investment dollars flow through New York...

Because it is the most unregulated market in the world with no related federal oversight or intervention. Beyond the purview is the answer they give while they turn a blind eye to the gross money making schemes of their beloved banking community. What power does an elected provincial official...

Three times the expense in a remote community with every one grabbing what they can get. I've been told as little as 25% makes it to the job site. Winter road access can be both a blessing and a curse.

Those were the days before the municipal water meter idea came along. Slap a meter on every home and charge so much people won't dare water the lawn, then double the water meter charge as the sewage levy. It's a huge revenue stream and taxes haven't gone down one bit

I think both are influenced by the US dollar and the desire to sell goods to the American market. Haven't tracked it to know if both currencies move at the same rate. I have one Euro holding where the rate has moved in my favour. I consider it a safe haven from the Canadian economy fueled by...

the voting machines have spoken

Makes for a good euro exchange rate. Too bad the banks discourage trade with countries other than the USA.
