And we used to be first .... our banks have this radical policy of lending money only to those who have a good chance of being able to pay back the loan ..... maybe a little old fashioned ... but that's what we are

By the way, the Bank of Canada is predicting that Canada will be out of the recession next year, with real growth in our economy.

Not disputing the list, but it is always nice to have a source as to where it came from, and how 'sound' was arrived at.

Not like you to be sloppy.

He's not on Facebook as well, which is most unusual.

Perhaps he's under 24/7 protection, until a new identity can be found.
