Wrong once again Tal, go to Canada and walk into any independent operator and pay with you debit, credit, whatever card.

Slovakia tested half of their population over this past weekend, 2 million+ rapid antigen tests, 6000+ locations and 20000+ workers. We can't figure out how to test the handful of tourists that show up here after 12 weeks of planning and 9 months into a pandemic. pathetic!

Talk about fake news. Antigen tests are less accurate than a PCR, but they detect symptomatic and asymptomatic with the same accuracy. Some people who are asymptomatic slip through, but most are caught. Is it better to catch 9 out of 10 people with active infections or spend 10 times the amount on a test that takes 10 times as long. Rapid antigen tests taken often is the best approach we have to this virus and getting back to any semblance of a working economy.

How many times a month do you get a new credit card, take out a loan, sign documents, and get new cheques? Also, what are you talking about eliminating the informal/cash economy? You do realize that informal/cash economy means that it is outside of the banking system? How is closing a branch stopping that?

They have no idea whether there is a peak. They are doing no testing. The fact that you have to pay for a test in this country means no one gets tested unless they are sick at the hospital. Their test rate is coming back at 30%+ positive. They have no actual data to of what's happening. They are completely unable to even understand the problem. And yet these are the people who are determining our health and well being.

Canadian banks are not having any issues dealing with the US since weed legalization. That is a bunch of nonsense.

To what end? Is there some conspiracy about people investing in real estate development?

The people we need to be in our leadership roles are the ones that know better than to run.

8 months in and still the only solution they have is lockdowns. 8 months with no new game plan. They have no idea what they are doing.

There is no oil. We have had super corrupt governments since independence, you don't think someone else would have bribed our politicians to take that oil by now? This is a game by the oil exploration company to get investments in their penny stock. No development company has signed on as a partner (as is usually the case in exploration, a junior explorer acquires some rights and then partners with a development company to actually drill a well after they have shown that there is a good chance of finding something. Then that joint venture is sold off to a producer who actually drills production wells and starts to take oil out). BPC could not convince any development company to partner up because it is extremely unlikely that they will find anything based on their findings so far.
