Do we really want a (former?) banker pre-chosen as the visible head of Canada?
How about we take a clue from a few (of many possible) who knew (or were) bankers and had the chutzpah to say what they knew.
Josiah Stamp | English industrialist, economist, civil servant, statistician, writer, bankerAnd last, but not least, a definition from Canada’s own:“Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take away from them the power to create money and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money.”Irvine Sprague | former chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and author*
(Said to be from an informal talk at the University of Texas in the 1920s).

https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Irvine_Sprague“I hate banks. They do nothing positive for anybody except take care of themselves. They're first in with their fees and first out when there's trouble.”Carroll Quigley | noted American historian, polymath, professor, author,* theorist of the evolution of civilizations

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_Warren“The powers of financial capitalism had a far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences.”Thomas Jefferson | American statesman, planter, diplomat, lawyer, architect, philosopher, Founding Father, third president of the United States (1801-1809)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carroll_Quigley“And I sincerely believe, with you, that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies; and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale.”Baron de Montesquieu | French judge, man of letters, historian, political philosopher

John Ralston Saul | Canadian writer, political philosopher, public intellectualSo, please, fellow Canadians, do not fall into line with the mockery of NGPowers picking for us a Liberal (banker) candidate2 to run for Prime Minister. And while we are thinking politics, let us not forget the names and excuses of every EO who voted down rights and freedoms during and after the Plandemic. Let's dox the voting records; let there be NO denial or doctoring of them.“Bankers - pillars of society who are going to hell if there is a God and He has been accurately quoted.”
