	Canada's Banks
		Banks account for approximately 70 per cent of the total domestic assets held by the financial services sector, which includes insurance companies, trust companies, caisses populaires, credit unions and other financial institutions.
		The Bank of Canada guarantees settlement in the extremely unlikely event that more than one LVTS participant were to fail on the same business day and the sum of the exposures of failed institutions were to exceed the collateral pledged to support such positions.
		Shares of Schedule I banks were required to be widely held, with no single shareholder or group of shareholders holding more than 10 per cent of any class of shares, while Schedule II banks could be owned by eligible Canadian or foreign financial institutions.

	Lenin: 1916/ni-beta: JEIDELS, RELATION OF THE GERMAN BIG BANKS TO INDUSTRY
		A third form is attempts by the big banks to secure a place for themselves in an industry abroad by founding their own enterprises, or in many cases merely by acquiring an interest in existing ones”...
		In a § on the relation of the big banks to the cartels (253–58), the author has somewhat “spread himself” and become incoherent.
		N.B. “The striving of the big banks for concentration and purposeful guidance of industry is contradictory when it is restricted to certain branches of industry and thereby results in a still greater lack of co-ordination in other branches” (271).

	TD not boosting provisions Second Big Six bank to buck industry rush to raise loan-loss charge in fourth quarter @ ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		TD, the second-largest of the Big Six domestic banks by stock market capitalization, boosted its provisions for fiscal 2001 to $620-million from $480-million in late June, saying it would charge $190-million in both the third and fourth quarters.
		TD's announcement came a day after Bank of Nova Scotia chairman and chief executive officer Peter Godsoe indicated strongly in a speech in New York that, having boosted its provisions sharply early in the fiscal year, Scotiabank was not planning another hike in the fourth quarter.
		The most dramatic of the hikes came at Bank of Montreal, which last Friday disclosed it was nearly quintupling its fourth-quarter charge to $546-million from a forecast $166-million.

	Report on the Observance of Standards and Codes: Canada -- Banking
		Profitability of the domestic banks is good, with a return on equity of around 15 percent for the six large banks, although profitability of foreign banks has been weak.
		The banking system is regulated by a tripartite structure, the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI), which is the only agency responsible for supervising banks in Canada, the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC), and the Department of Finance-in charge of developing the policy and legislative framework for the financial sector.
		Where the bank has corporate bodies responsible for activities that are deemed to be of significance in relation to the risk profile of the consolidated group, OSFI will extend its supervisory processes to that corporate body.

	CBC News Indepth: Economy
		Canadian banks make buckets from what is termed "interest-based revenue." That's the difference between what they pay you in interest and what the banks charge someone else to borrow.
		Bank stocks are popular holds in hundreds of equity mutual funds too, because banks are such a big part of the Canadian economy, and because the market performance of the financial sector has been nothing short of sizzling over the last few years.
		But if you're a holder of bank stock (and directly or indirectly, we all are), rising profits have also meant rising dividends and stock prices that have, on average, doubled in the last four years.

	Tony Cliff: Capitalist Economy in the Colonies (1947)
		This banking and industrial system, which is ultra-modern, is based on an agrarian, feudal economy, from which it draws its strength and weaknesses alike, increasing the contradictions within both.
		The fact that banking and industry draw their sustenance from the feudal agrarian relations, while at the same time pre-serving them, does not keep them from coming into conflict with these relations; for the purchasing power of the masses is limited by them, and thus also the possibilities of industrial development.
		The fact that the industrial and banking system in the colonies is built on the same pattern as that of the most developed countries, proves that capitalism in the colonies, too, is ripe for the socialist revolution.

	Re-Examining Private Banking
		In this type of banking, future banking or banking for tomorrow mainly involves ways and means of providing the required secrecy, and the methods of compensating these high net worth clients.
		Banks are no longer regulated as tightly (pre 1980) and it is becoming easier for a collective group of investors to start a bank.
		The impact of these mega-mergers between banks and other financial institutions on the banking industry and in specific on private banking, we hope, will not be the undesirable effect of having created a perceived need for greater government intervention to regulate the world of finance.

		Simon Bailey continued: “We found that many banks are finding it difficult to define a business case for SEPA because of uncertainties on timings, standards and the degree of regulatory pressure.
		The research also highlighted that what the banks need to do is to clearly articulate what SEPA means for their customers as well as the banks themselves.

		The banks' annual shareholders' meetings are starting to look more and more like NDP policy conventions, with shareholder activists--federal NDP leader Alexa McDonough among them--taking over the floor, yelling at board members through the microphones during Question Period and tabling proposals to cap CEO salaries.
		Most bank branches, such as the CIBC at the corner of Sherbrooke and Aylmer, now post two sets of hours: the branch is open from 9 a.m.
		Twisted as the banks' logic may be, it is second only to the logic of bank customers themselves: we give the banks our money, then we complain because they have our money.

		In Canada, all the major banks are right up in the top 10, top 15 in any given year over the past decade which causes some critics to say it is not right that these financial institutions should gouge our profits at a higher rate than their business clients.
		It is hard to talk about banking services in North America in the year 2000, without mentioning the hype and enthusiasm that individual people have gained for taking control of their own investments and new found savings to be active in trading stocks.
