Personally, I see no insights here that have not already been potificated upon adnauseum by numerous geopolitcal and military analysts on all media platforms.

Excellent interview, growth in government is a great subject. Tribunals should also be looked at. The liable chill and powerless state of Canadians who are attacked by these stacked arms of government and quasi judiciary

👏

To his credit, he implicitly admits that he spent his career fleecing his banker clients, and now wants a book advance to confess his mea culpa. That said, I believe that he lacks the moral authority to speak on the subject. I don’t want to hear his confession or buy his book.

Good luck with Dictator we have that destroys western CanIndia.

Great interview Pamela. We perhaps could talk about how price regulation affects taxed produce. It would seem that many of our major chain grocery stores, despite the tax breaks given by Prime Minister Trudeau, are increasing prices, as opposed to, giving consumers the chance to benefit from the certain taxable food items (or any other related tax reduced items).. Are they,? Or is the cost of inflation, that, is said to have gone down over the last year, a myth? Thank you again F/

CRAP with "Pamela Wallin"

The finance minister is an un-succesful journalist without having done accounting 101, nothing more than an incompetent nincompoop and idiot.

If it is true that banks earn half or more of their revenue from fees and the rest from lending, we better hope that housing (mortgages) and business investment loans don't drop or we will may see significantly higher fees in the coming years to offset Bank losses.

Great positive outlook....but....the reality is ....Canada to be kinked out of NATO, CF 18 cannot participate in NATO exercise since they are out of order, no tanks, no ammo, no recruits no navy for the artic costal waters....etc these issues cannot be solved in a 4 YEARS PERIODS.

A significant number of Canadians are illiterate in politics, finance, law, and public affaires.. and a big number are simply illiterate. So it is unlikely to expect some active efforts by Canadians to deal with misuse of price by oligopols within the private sector, and misuse of taxes within the public sector.

Don't have a cell phone, still write some cheques and don't trust online banking. Also I get a lot of cheques still from clients for payments. Forcing people to use methods they don't want to or don't trust is a recipe for disaster. Also, because computerization didn't lower fees there is no advantage to the client to use new methods they don't want or trust. The big lie is that everything is done for our safety - BS - it is done for the convenience of the bank and to reduce their costs and increase profits. It is the big lie that they are concerned about their clients' needs and wants. I know, I know....I'm a Luddite. Since the Government can freeze or take my money, or control my use of it with online-only banking, no one should be in favor of this.

The percentage of Canadian bank's revenues via fees and charges is more like 60%. And growing.

Pamela Wallin was sitting on the Senate that voted for the Covid mandates.

I will be moving over 2 million dollars out of Scotiabank into a credit union this year.

Get the wef out, the only solution

Very interesting interview thank you.

AB has a publically anti wef and anti cbdc financial institution, and advocates 4 gold and silver. Bow valley credit Union. The issue of importance is the wef agenda in the banks, and most of the paper financial institutions,, get out of them quick

And a completely incompetent, uncaring and disinterested Government.

Funny I am not an economist but came to the same conclusion by living it. Thank you from the people we are fighting "300 ecconamist" quote the WEF/China/Carney/BoC puppet masters.

minus 50 ?!? that's a climate catastrophy!

Before the banks were ALLOWED to deal in mortgages, all mortgages were contracted at a fixed rate for the life of the mortgage. We really need competition and laws for the Canadian citizens and not for the closed competition bank.

We need banking reform as much as or more than political reform.

Our family lost their life savings in 1923, due to the failure of the Home Bank Of Canada

I switched to the Canadian western bank, they always answer their phone

The late great Canadian author Walter Stewart wrote 'Towers of Gold,Feet of Clay's decades ago. I recall the opening sentence being something like ' The Canadian banking system was set up and run by carpet baggers and still is'. A book worth finding and reading for context.

Thanks Pamela for this interview. I was previously with HSBC for the reasons stated by your guest. I will be pushing a new conservative government to get up to date with the banks in Canada. People can use EQ bank, Tangerine, Simply Financial, Neo or a few others out there for no fees.

Our entire economy.... and indeed our 'freedom' within what we think of as a 'society' is as follows: "we are truly only FREE to be no more than a good little consumer" Think about it.... and then understand that increasingly that 'freedom' is entirely predicated upon greater and greater Debt servicing to maintain the system of financialized 'entitlements' denominated and accrued within whatever currency valuations.... those same 'enitlements' indeed determinative of societal policy ?..... and very simply because you will VOTE for whatever Policy/Politician you are told to for fear your plight may become even worse ! The Big Banks/Telecoms and LARGE monopolies are merely the "facilitator" of Financial obligations we work and PAY/SERVICE the cradle to Grave DEBT maintaining the financialized 'entitlements' of too few determining Policy.

Allow American companies into Canada!

Since our banks are publicly listed companies, the oligopoly and regulatory environment protects our banks from mergers and acquisitions or redomicile activities. Thank goodness our banks are protected from Hedge funds and private equity!

AOC on climate change is nothing but simply a dumb ignorant bartender, table server.😅😅😅😅🍸🍺

Present day democrats are the stupidest party of the United States.😅😅😅

Windmills of Biden’s are killing the whales.🤬😡

Is boiling ocean mother Al Gore still alive? Hmmm I’m hoping he’s gone.😅😅😅😅😅

Please, Mr. Maher just do the presentation of the book without her! Or, I think he should do an interview with a more knowledgeable and objective source. Pamela Wallin is a relic.

I have about as much confidence of competition happening in Canada as I do for health care reform...and they almost have the same root problem, one of which is cultural (i.e. Canadians don't really want competition...that's too American, and therefore bad). Will never happen in my lifetime as there is just to much social, political and economic incentive to keep things the way they are.

Just ordered a copy

i hate my bank. was hoping your guest would have a brilliant option. no luck. Canada's entire system has squeezed everything out of me. want to vote with my money, but they took it.

​ Moore, a LIAR. Paid by fossil fuel because of ego, retired, out-of-the-show, and just don't give a damn anymore.

Just as expected! "Patrick Moore is a policy advisor at The Heartland Institute, a conservative and libertarian think tank, and has been funded by industry." That is, he's with PROJECT 2025!

All denier claims with credentials are on the take. It's often hard to find as possibly in this case. Googling now. I've done this dozens of times finding truth in financial bias EVERY TIME.

I feel like Batya has read my mind everytime i hear her. Retired 40 yr union railroad engineer in the U.S./CDN making a decent pension...so frightened for my kids, my families kids and my close friends kids. Thank You Batya!!

Crisis what were, I don’t see any crisis, I go out and see a beautiful world. I’ve lived 60 years nothing has changed the climate is great. We used to be concerned about the environment and trying to look after it. Now it’s all about this climate crisis lies.?????

Great talk, thank you!

Your podcasts are always excellent. Thoughtful questions and really good guests.

Great interview - as always. Pamela, how can we help you get to 200k subscribers? IMHO changes in public sector only happen from external forces that interrupt the the direction of the "moving object" called bureaucracy. I think of simple physics. Great guest and we need to promote his writing and thinking! Thank you!

thanks pamela, what are your thoughts about edmonton? would you live here

An ignorant fearful population are easier to manipulate. Add poverty, which will be a result of this narrative, and everyone will passively stand in the breadline.😢

It's kind of funny that a critical thinker and knowledgeable man like Patrick seriously believes that Earth is the only place in the INFINITE (!) Universe that is able to support life. Intelligent life including.😆😆😆😆😆 It is the more so funny in the light of the most recent Congress hearings where Pentagon and CIA officials testify under oath about NUMEROUS sightings and encounters with the tech that is, by all accounts, not of this civilization. Yes, Patrick, it's true that the scientists are sending out messages into the INFINITE Universe. But how do you know that there is no reply?😆😆😆😆😆 And what kind of reply are you expecting? A Christmas card?😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣As it happens with some people, they may go on looking for reading glasses all over their house, in order to discover in the end that...they're wearing them.😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

The Government can't manage the money they get, now! What makes them think they can legislate how business does business! Axe the Carbon Tax, manage what you get, and invest what you get instead of trying to tax, legislate, and strip the money from the real producers in this country! Whatever the Government takes over eventually fails, spectacularly!!
