People often spend the entire time allotted for their midday meal practices: there are precious relegated to a line-up comparable to that of a Russian breadline. some rural combanking ingenuity like at some Toronto Dominions when one simply cannot make withdrawals from tellers. The list goes on. And while the banks make billions, they claim a need to merge with one another due to "the realities of the global market." Surely, this a load of crap. The fact is, by merging, two banks can make twice as much money with almost half the employees, and send share prices soaring. Thankfully the federal government has given a thumbs down to the mergers, for now. But if they do go ahead the loser will be those of us, students included, who represent low-end customers. The banks' interest is not to serve Canadians, rather it is to increase profits and the value of their stocks. Bill Gates makes software, farmers give us food. General Motors makes cars, and tailors make pants. Banks make money out of money: They don't actually produce anything for students except headaches. We owe them nothing.
