Canada's Banks: 3rd Worst Of The G7 Countries


The sorry spectacle of Conservative cabinet ministers flying around the world defending banks from a tax to cover their next, inevitable, meltdown is bad enough. What is perhaps worse is that it is being largely justified by the perpetuation of the myth that Canada did not have to bail out its banks.
Wrong.
We are, according to the IMF, actually the third worst of the G7 countries, behind the US and Britain, in terms of financial stabilization costs.
First, we put up $70 billion to buy up iffy mortgages from the big five banks, through the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation, taking them off the banks’ balance sheets. That is almost the exact equivalent the US bailout – it spent ten times as much, $700 billion, and its economy is about 10 times as large.
Secondly, the Harper government established a fund of $200 billion to backstop the banks – money they could borrow if they needed it. The government had to borrow billions – mostly from the banks! – to do it. It’s euphemistically called the Emergency Financing Framework – implying that our impeccable banks might actually face an emergency. It is effectively a line of  low-interest credit and while it has not all been accessed, it’s there to be used.  Could it help explain why credit has not dried up here as much as it has in the US

  1. If the Oligarch banksters could get their Bank of the World by just bringing down only the USA they would. Alas, they must destroy all the fiat currencies around the globe.

    Buy silver. Buy gold. Get rid of as much paper as possible.

  2. Well, I called my wife to read this article and I will rehash what I said leaving out the interspersed profanities that seem to drag down so many
    otherwise good blogs.This really has my blood boiling.
    I DON'T remember seeing or reading about these effectively tax payer ripoffs in the main stream media. All I keep reading is how Canada is a safe haven country with a sound currency.
    First a bank like CIBC can offer mortgages for "self employed" that do not need income verification because the CMHC will insure it.
    Then Canada employs quantitive easing to lower the value of our dollar.That's debasing any savings you may have, also known as theft.
    The recepiants of that Q.E. is rightly the taxpayer, so where is it?
    Lately Canada has saw fit to trade 30 billion CDN for euros without debate to save a sinking European economy.
    Now our government has seen fit to backstop the banks to the tune of 200 billion!
    Because in Canada, even with Obama, Canada is an even worse socialist dictatorship. Thats why Canadians are so unaware.You get to know about it from the American media.
    So, should I write my MP? I have an even better idea. Vote with your wallet. Buy gold by selling CDN dollars, because Canada's central bank is run by a Goldmanite named Mark Carney, and it has 0 gold reserves.
    Which means our dollar is totally fiat and backed by illusions. Shop in the US where you get better value for your money.And prepare for some very hard times when reality finally hits the great white north

  3. When; exactly would that reality be setting in ?

    A month ?

    Two ?

    A year ?

    Two ?

    Five ?

    Ten ??

    You will drive yourself fucking crazy trying ( key word for forget it ) to figure this mess out & I guarantee you - whatever provisions you make ?

    They will be the wrong ones !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  5. 3:55 when it hits you in the face...TOO LATE

    ReplyDelete
  6. 355 most people that prepare have made the right choices, you who are not, not so much

    ReplyDelete
  7. I think what 3:55 was trying to say (I could be wrong) is that everything is so very unpredictable to begin with that when people analyze all the "symptoms" they essentially become blind to the overall condition.

    While many who prepare (a discriminating portion) will be better off than the great majority, it may be so that some people out of those who didn't prepare might somehow do better than a few of those who did prepare (attempted to).

    The best thing to do is not analyze all the many little things happening, which are huge problems on their own, and try to see things as a whole so that everything becomes simplified. By doing this all the new events that take place will be more comprehensible and one won't even need to pay attention anymore.

    going to start my own blog in the near future but I'm having a tough time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for
    something unique. P.S My apologies for
