I can see that happening someday; you can only push people so far.

Cheers

And some food for thought.
"Revolution is the only thing they cannot outlaw", everything else is supposedly a privilege...

Meh

LoL vampchick21...

I just would like to say that I am not arguing in favor of Crown Corporations. That is a whole different beast.

Fine, whatever. The Bank of Canada is the boogyman responsible for all our woes around the world. Big, Mean, Evil, Nasty Bank of Canada! Kill the corporations! Kill the Universities! REVOLUTION!

PS: I am aware of what the Bank of Canada website says. Why? BECAUSE I ALREADY WENT THERE, READ IT AND LINKED FOLKS HERE TO IT!

Some days the Internet makes me want to crawl into a hole and deny my relation to the human race.

Hello montyloree and thank you for the greeting. Hello also everyone else. I apologize for coming on very strong in my previous post.

You are correct in the technical sense for being a crown corporation verses a private company. Because that is what we have been taught for along time. But here a link from the Bank of Canada site.

http://www.bankofcanada.ca/en/about/are.html

Here is a quote.
" The Bank is not a government department and conducts its activities with considerable independence compared with most other federal institutions. For example:

* The Governor and Senior Deputy Governor are appointed by the Bank's Board of Directors (with the approval of Cabinet), not by the federal government.
* The Deputy Minister of Finance sits on the Board of Directors but has no vote.
* The Bank submits its expenditures to its Board of Directors. Federal government departments submit theirs to the Treasury Board.
* Bank employees are regulated by the Bank itself, not by federal public service agencies.
* The Bank's books are audited by external auditors appointed by Cabinet on the recommendation of the Minister of Finance, not by the Auditor General of Canada."
As you see the only government official has no say in the day to day policies. So the only conclusion is that they must laugh out loud every time they view that page themselves. As it is a joke for them to say and I quote again the same page.
" Ultimately, the Bank is owned by the people of Canada."
or maybe it is suppose to say

" Ultimately, the Bank own the people of Canada"
I await your comments friends

Thanks
Now if I could just find my tin foil hat, maybe I wouldn't have responded to this site. LoL

The link I put up is not the Bank of Canada’s site. It might interest some people on here to go to that site and read her book about the Bank of Canada.

What, my stating the info I have came straight from the Bank of Canada itself isn't good enough?

Way to repeat what I already said TWICE.

Here is a good link about the Bank of Canada. The Bank of Canada was founded in 1934 as a private corporation; it became a crown corporation in 1938 belonging to the federal government.

Here is a good link that will tell you about the Bank of Canada listed below.
