   Go have a good hard look at how many Canadian Banks went tilt, conway. For   
   sure, we helped bail out the auto industry, we didn't, however, have to do   
   anything like the same with "our" banks and for the simple reason that in   
   1996 our finance minister, Paul Martin, introduced measures that prohibited   
   them from the utter stupidity your American banks engaged in.   
    They fully understood the consequences of their corrupt practices and they   
   now fully understand that they are both bullet-proof and Teflon-coated, as   
   just demonstrated by this latest omnibus bill passed by the house.   
      
     cheers....Jeff
