Despite Turmoil in the Global Banking System, Canadian Banks Are in Relatively Good Shape
Commentary The world economy has seemingly entered its first widespread financial crisis since 2008, despite initial assurances by our political leadership that “there is nothing to see here folks!” As is the case in all these crises, things are barely noticeable at first, and then things fall apart at a breathtaking pace.
