Depositor's Beware - Harper's Budget supports Canadian Banks - not Depositors

The banking crisis in Cypress has made every EU holder of an EU Bank aware that their deposits are subject to confiscation without recourse.

One thing that most people do not realize is that when a deposit is made into a bank account, the money no longer belongs to the depositor, it has been loaned to the bank and the depositor must make a claim, usually in the form of a withdrawal or transfer request, to have their money back.
