I never said anything about 2008-2009 Canadian banks being bailed out. I said they sold every speck of gold they had so in a way yes the government bailed them out. Most my comments on this thread were related to the weakness of the entire western banking system. Also around 20 months ago during the euro crisis can you read?

But in looking for info to fill your ego related to that time line it looks like Canada is even worse off now. And now they don't have any gold to bail them out. So it would behove you to look at the Cyprus style BAILIN that I said all countries have in place now. Whats that? The depositors will be hit with the bill, as the bank and investors get paid.

Really,then why did the Bank of England hire away the Governor of the Bank of Canada? Why does Royal Bank pay me ten times the interest that Bank America does. You really need to take into account that the favourite American pastime is dissing our neighbours to the north.

BTW if you went into a bank up there and said derivatives they would wash your mouth out. Why is it always America that comes up with these hair brained systems?

Considering the way gold pricces fluctuate we sold our gold also, you can't eat it.

Maybe that's what the contraceptive brouhaha is all about. BC pills are two small to adorn with Old Glory. Decidedly unpatriotic.

Obamacare Website Company Had Ties to Obama Fundraising, Michelle Obama

Urgent: Should Obamacare Be Repealed? Vote Here Now!

CGI Federal, which secured a $678 million no-bid contract to build the Obamacare exchange web portal, has come under increased scrutiny for ties between senior executives and the Obama administration following the disastrous rollout of the healthcare website.

Toni Townes-Whitley, a senior vice president at CGI Federal, is a Princeton classmate of First Lady Michelle Obama, the Daily Caller reported. In addition to being college classmates, both Obama and Townes-Whitley are members of the Association of Black Princeton Alumni.

According to Federal Election Commission Records, Toni Townes-Whitley gave $500 in 2011 and 2012 to Obama's reelection, and another $1,000 to the Obama Victory Fund.

Close access to the White House was also enjoyed by other senior CGI officials, reports The Washington Examiner.

The Examiner reported that visitor logs show that "CGI Federal President Donna Ryan visited the White House six times prior to her company being selected to do the IT design work behind the high-profile website."

"Two of the meetings attended by CGI executives were with Vivek Kundra, Obama's chief information officer. Kundra was a key figure in Obama administration information technology initiatives across the government," the paper reported.

I love fact checkers bias. All the while they say the dots line up, their conclusion is contradictory.

The salaries for one thing would be a huge cost savings.

On the partnership with the industry IIRC that was done after it became apparent Single Payer or a Government option would not pass the GOP/Tbagger wing.

Not to mention duplicative staff and facilities up and down the line for the hundreds of health insurance companies in the country. Maybe Whell has never heard of economies of scale.

I am not going to completely disagree here. I am sure there was some cronyism going on there. There always is, has been, and will be. No bid contracts are always suspicious to me.

On the other hand, my friends are the first people I go to when I need a job done. I think that is pretty much human nature. If I were to run for office or need money for some other reason, those same friends would donate/loan to me in a heartbeat. Especially the token amounts you listed. It isn't like they were "major" campaign contributions. I would also hope that the company president visited the white house at least a few times before the contract was awarded. No visits would leave me far more suspicious than six does.
