Good morning all,A very interesting article about how Canada can set the stage for the rest of the world.
"Guess which country, alone in the industrialized world, has not faced a single bank failure, calls for bailouts or government intervention in the financial or mortgage sectors. Yup, it`s Canada. In 2008, the World Economic Forum ranked Canada`s banking system the healthiest in the world. America`s ranked 40th, Britain`s 44th.
Canada has done more than survive this financial crisis. The country is positively thriving in it. Canadian banks are well capitalized and poised to take advantage of opportunities that American and European banks cannot seize. The Toronto Dominion Bank, for example, was the 15th-largest bank in North America one year ago. Now it is the fifth-largest. It hasn`t grown in size; the others have all shrunk."
