This is how you spend a long weekend #pouzza #goodriddance #newfoundglory #NFG #May24 (at Foufounes Electriques)

When a patient says they want natural remedies after you spend hours explaining the informed consent to them for a medical procedure

Bill C-31

I already hear that argument in favour of this bill, we need to stop people from sneaking into our country to get free health care. Do you really think that rich foreigners are trying sneak into our long cues and wait for health care. I find that doubtful at best. Instead we have a bill to ensure those most vulnerable do not receive the care they need.

Never thought I would ever see the day when Manchester Orchestra and Grouplove would collaborate on a track together. But then I remembered of a little thing called Record Store Day where the most unlikely of splits and teaming ups happen and it all made sense. The track “Make It To Me” is an electronic genre-blending extravaganza that really compliments the strengths of both bands at play. The expert pop sensibilities of Grouplove coupled with the dark, introspective lyrics from Manchester really give this a unique spin.

The single along with a Manchester Orchestra/Frightened Rabbit track “Architect” (which you can listen to here) will be out on a 12” on Record Store Day, April 20th.

Such a wonderful and unique collaboration, plus it’s always nice to hear some new Manchester Orchestra

Establishing a Risk Management Framework for Domestic

Systemically Important Banks

Economic Action Plan 2013 will implement a comprehensive risk

management framework for Canada’s systemically important banks.

Canada’s large banks are a source of strength for the Canadian economy. Our large banks have become increasingly successful in international markets, creating jobs at home.

The Government also recognizes the need to manage the risks associated with systemically important banks

—those banks whose distress or failure could cause a disruption to the financial system and, in turn, negative impacts on the economy. This requires strong prudential oversight and a robust set of options for resolving these institutions without the use of

taxpayer funds, in the unlikely event that one becomes non-viable.The Government intends to implement a comprehensive risk management framework for Canada’s systemically important banks. This framework will be consistent with reforms in other countries and key international standards, such as the Financial Stability Board’s Key Attributes of Effective Resolution Regimes for Financial Institutions, and will work alongside the existing Canadian regulatory capital regime. The risk management framework will include the following elements:

Systemically important banks will face a higher capital requirement, as determined by the Superintendent of Financial Institutions.

The Government proposes to implement a “bail-in” regime for

systemically important banks. This regime will be designed to ensure that, in the unlikely event that a systemically important bank depletes its capital, the bank can be recapitalized and returned to viability through the very rapid conversion of certain bank liabilities into regulatory capital. This will reduce risks for taxpayers. The Government will consult stakeholders on how best to implement a bail-in regime in Canada. Implementation timelines will allow for a smooth transition for affected institutions, investors and other market participants.

Systemically important banks will continue to be subject to existing risk management requirements, including enhanced supervision and recovery and resolution plans.

This risk management framework will limit the unfair advantage that could be gained by Canada’s systemically important banks through the mistaken belief by investors and other market participants that these institutions are “too big to fail.”

Some more extreme blogs label this as “Cyprus-Style “Bail-Ins” are Proposed in the New 2013 Canadian Government Budget!” (http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/cyprus-style-bank-account-confiscation-is-in-the-new-canadian-government-budget) and although I do not share their doomsday mentality, I am concerned about the idea of a bail-in written into our budget, and the lack of current discussion.
