Subject:	Ottawa wants to hear your financial worries

Hello

I am writing this email after reading an online article titled Ottawa wants to hear your 
financial worries. I was born in Toronto but I am currently living in Vancouver BC. The 
thing that bothers me about the banks these days is that we invest our savings with 
them and they give us ZERO percent interest. Then they turn around and charge us for 
every single transaction be it writing a check, making a deposit, or using our bank cards. 
They give us credit cards with ridiculously high interest rates ( 19% )
Then they turn around and tell us they have made record profits again this year. Where 
do these profits come from? The people who put their money in the bank which is 
basically almost everyone in this country.

Financial worries? Yes we Canadians have worries. Although I think we have it better 
here then other parts of the world. Most Canadian families have both partners working 
full time jobs to make ends meet. To many people who were born here, owning a 
home  is a dream that seems very unrealistic. The rent in Vancouver is actually what the 
cost of a mortgage should be. Just have a look at the Craigslist and try to rent an 
apartment here. There will be 20 people fighting for any given over priced apartment on 
any given day of the week. Retirement seems to also be another dream you can have 
only once you are dead. That is my two cents. Thank you.
