Hello,
I hope all is as well as can be with you and yours in this ongoing challenging time.
Thank you very much again for your support in signing on to the petition calling for key measures to Make Canada's Big Banks help during the coronavirus crisis, and after at:
https://www.change.org/p/make-canada-s-big-banks-help-during-coronavirus-and-after
Because of your support, and the support of tens of thousands of Canadians, the Trudeau Liberals promised some of the key changes during the federal election that the petition calls for, and if these changes are made and enforced effectively they will:
- Help stop bank gouging and help stop banks from abusing their customers by empowering the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC), and the Ombudsman for Banking Services and Investments (OBSI) to enforce better banking laws more effectively - click here to see the Liberals' promises, and;
- Require banks to pay more taxes because of their excessively high profits - click here to see the Liberals' promises.
Please click here to see Democracy Watch's news release from yesterday calling on Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland to include these key measures, and more, in this week's federal government budget.
With your ongoing support, we have a good chance to win these changes in 2022. Please click here now to help keep this campaign going until we win and, if you haven't already done so, please click here to send a letter to Prime Minister Trudeau and Finance Minister Freeland calling on them to keep their promises and make these key changes, and more, to help stop bank gouging and abuses as soon as possible.
Please also Share the Change.org petition linked above with friends, family and colleagues.
All together we can make a difference!
Thank you again for your support, and take care,
Duff Conacher, Co-founder
and the entire Democracy Watch team
