One of my former client firms saw this fiasco as the last straw. They are located in Canada and have a U.S. operating group as well.

In 2020 they began moving some of their operations down to “red” states in the U.S. simply because of the ridiculous COVID-related restrictions north of the border.

Yesterday they announced that they were closing their Canadian operation down completely.

That’s not as dramatic a move as it may sound. The Canadian COVID restrictions were so infantile and ludicrous that hardly anyone was still working up there anyway.

When I was in high school I remember a textbook mocking French people living out in the country that didn’t trust banks so they hid their money in mattresses often in the form of gold. Seems they made the RIGHT decision.

In 1980 three year T-Bills were issued paying almost 15% interested. Compounded that was a pretty good deal when they matured.

He opened at least one bank account in every town he visited while in vaudeville, so he always had some money available no matter where he was. And every account he opened was under a different name. And most of the names were nonsensical. I remember reading about all of that in one of his biographies I read while I was in grade school. Some things just stick with you.

If some bank froze my account at the behest the government, the nanosecond it was unfrozen is the nanosecond it would be closed by me.

What choice did the populace have but to cause a real
headache for Ottawa?

They were peaceful, but loud. “Oh my!”


Right. They honked!!! so loudly! 😱

I saw a clip of one of the Parliament fools claiming honking was a new symbol for supporting Hitler.

Wouldn’t the correct term be “thaw” not “unfreeze?”

I mean, they didn’t “Unthaw” them in the first place, right?
