You sound mad?
I sound correct.

What effect did the fraud north of the 49th have on the fraud south of that line on the map that justifies his stated rationale to end all rationales, early election con job of the people of Ontario?

He couldn't even get within "being an invisible faceless face in the crowd" milling about in the distance making pip squeak noises far, far away from the fraud 47.

What they don't like is our strict banking laws so they can fuck around and get bailouts.

My SO btw works for an American company's Canadian branch. With multiple international offices.

You really are just talking out of your ass now.
Let's start out with a simple statement that has been reinforced by about every economist and economic publication.
The United States is the most open market in world trade.

I believe you are right about banking laws. Canadian banks have higher reserve requirements.

Branches are one thing, but the real way banks make a dent in a market is through acquisition. It's usually not practical to go into an established market in a major push and try to steal customers from other banks. Having a few locations in major cities is not a big platform. It's quite common for major U.S. banks to have a few offices in the major economic hubs around the world.

What I am curious to know is how open the Canadian financial services market is to foreign investment? Canadian banks have routinely bought U.S. banks and expanded into the U.S. TD Bank in the Northeast, BMO in Chicago and RBC Bank in Los Angeles are the most prominent.

By the way, Canadian banks also get caught violating U.S. banking laws.

Moronic reply. We are not the ones in a cult. We are not the ones drinking the Kool Aid. trump loves the poorly educated.
Jokes are all you're good for. You have 4 years of hell in front of you and jokes may be the only thing that get you thru it. You have to laugh to keep from crying. :ROFLMAO:

So where's the deal???? :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
That was the point. All trade agreements are deals. And if you don't think there aren't continuous discussions and further negotiations after a trade deal is established, you're not paying attention.

Why are you laughing so hard at your own comment?

Banks can except deposits over 150,000 and remain foreign owned. The other option is to start from scratch as a Canadian registered bank for smaller retail banking. US banks repreabout 50% of foreign owned banks in Canada. I'm assuming they facilitate multinational and some large depositors with US interests.

Personally I don't see wide open banking as an asset. They are imo supposed to be run by little Grey men who are careful with money. What has occured is investment houses became linked with them resulting is the deregulation pushes. And problems. Too much risk taking. Depositors don't want risk. And activist shareholders Don't belong in banking stock. It should be the safe option.

TD tried to do the US bank thing and got caught. Good. They deserve it.

If this is your position then Donald Trump folded.

We still have the the same trade agreement and Canada's initial offer about border security hasn't changed.

I'm laughing at all of you. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

I suppose I look at trade agreements as one long, continuing process.

I've been clear here that Canada doesn't seem to be the big target. I still think Mexico was the big target this go- round.
And oh yeah, Trump and Trudeau hate each other so there's that. 🤣 🤣 🤣
