Oh Canada

A movie about fractional reserve banking and the Canadian Banking system.

Has anyone watched this? Are all of the points valid? Is the Analysis correct?

Has a good interview with paul Martin - the former Finance Minister and Prime Minister attempting to explain it all away...

It took you that long to figure that out?  As soon as he started talking about "printing it ourselves"...  I stopped watching at that point.

Yeah well I enjoyed some of the interviews - but otherwise it is very hard to watch - I skipped ahead and found that.

Lots of bible references as well - odd.
