I am not talking charity.
Why not have more of  these bank Braniacs spend more time looking for/nurturing good (Canadian) business investments (loans) ?
They are chock full of "experts" who will sell you stupid (and risky) mutual funds (with a 1 %% fee)...but they (and the CPP etc) take no such risks...
Our economy could certainly use some advice (from experts with capital)
No...apparently they want to plow those profits into US branches 
etc..
.
To be honest I think a lot of this "profit praise" by bank investors is partly a righteous attempt to avoid  having to admit they have had similar thoughts.....
Meanwhile;happy investing.
