CORY MORGAN SHOW: Junkies aren’t harmless

HANNAFORD: It's worth looking at who gets unbanked and what they do to not deserve it

It’s not unheard of for banks to fire clients. However, when somebody like high-profile lawyer Eva Chipiuk gets unbanked, it should catch your attention.
The details are somewhat opaque and protected by client confidentiality. According to the correspondence from the Royal Bank of Canada that Ms. Chipiuk released, the situation was triggered by a Bitcoin transaction.
And if transactions appear suspicious, banks are actually required by law to take action.
On the other hand, lots of people buy and sell Bitcoin.
So, that was all it was?
And it was nothing to do with Ms. Chipiuk’s public support for the Freedom Convoy, and her counter-establishment political views?
Well, nobody’s saying that. So, perhaps we shouldn’t say it, either.

EXCLUSIVE HANNAFORD: Smith's save now, spend later plan gets a boost

With today’s $2.8 billion contribution announced earlier today by a clearly elated Premier Danielle Smith, Alberta’s Heritage Fund reached $30 billion — almost double what it was five years ago.
For the premier, this is an old goal — she was writing 25 years ago that instead of spending resource revenues as they are received, Alberta should build up a fund to make up for when those resources, and the funds they generate, are exhausted.
