Canadian banks 'earn' $6.55 billion

Dumb poll question.

Do bankers deserve their wages? Sheesh.
Yes they do. It is becoming increasingly harder to recruit officers and directors because of the inherent risk. Would you take a job if you could be sued if something goes sideways, especially in the States where strict liability applies? Civil law is often scarier than criminal law because there is no such thing as "beyond a reasonable doubt."

if bankers were liable for the last fiascoes then the jails would be full. the only bankers that went to jail were in Iceland. and most of the crooks got away.

whos bright idea was it to have crooks in banks launder our money anyways? especially if we as a country can trump the private banks anyways?

Bank of Canada Facts

June 21st, 2012

“Until the control of the issue of currency and credit is restored to government and recognized as its most conspicuous and sacred responsibility, all talk of the sovereignty of Parliament and of democracy is idle and futile…Once a nation parts with control of its currency and credit, it matters not who makes that nation’s laws…Usury once in control will wreck any nation.”

Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King



In 1974 Prime Minister Trudeau stopped using our Bank of Canada which served Canada so well keeping us out of serious debt. He handed over control of our monetary system to the Private Bankers.



We have lost our Democracy because the power is concentrated in the Banks and Corporations that control our politicians.



Today half your taxes go to pay the private banks interest on our needless debt of 582 Billion.



Thats million per month out of every riding.



A total $ 170 million per day in every riding in interest



That is $50 billion per year



Every man, woman and child owes approx. $17,000.00


A Family of 4 owes $68,000.00



Compound interest on the debt keeps increasing the debt.

It is never paid down. We have paid the debt 3 times over yet it is still there.



The Canadian Action Party would return to the use of the Bank of Canada for the original purpose for which it was intended.



Keeping Canadians out of heavy debt and improving the quality of life for all Canadians.



Using the Bank of Canada we built the railways, universities, St Lawrence Seaway, brought in the CPP and Medicare. What have we done since?


nothing of import that is for sure.

Every President that tried to get rid the Federal reserve system and have gold or silver backed currency was either assinated or had attempts on his life, so the cowards and thieves we elect to Ottawa will never even try.

Diamond, and del Missier, a Canadian.

Both deserving of their wages for posessing the most necessary ability for bank executives to lie. Non?
