No point in complaining as a bank customer because I make it up and more as an investor in the bank itself. More fees = more green for me. It's almost too easy.

So what are going to do here for next 3 months while waiting for DIV earnings? Citigroup just announced more job cuts. I see , you will rather stick with Canadian banks. Of course they are strong, less risky and very well regulated. The government darlings. Lol. Perhaps they both sleepi in the same bed. Did you noticed that after covid they raised the minimum deposit to $ 4000 to $ 6500 or you have to pay service charges? What a scam ! Trudeau look away and conveniently change them sure tax. Well indirect tax on middle class.
Now you know why Canadians banks are strong and sound. Sickening!!

Hahaha , Flaming do you really think that I pay bank fees? I came to Canada in 1989. Back then I didn't pay bank fees I don't pay them now and never will. Besides that I have " grandpa " checking accounts with minimum deposit of $1500. If not I would keep $6 000 there. This country is going downhill while screwing a little guy . A years back I made the list of the most hated institutions and companies starting from every level of government , banks ,insurance companies,telecommunication companies etc. giving them only as little as they deserve.
Running everything lean and mean. Never paid interest on credit card and never will, collectingg $ 500-700 worth of points a year on average out of my credit cards , my home phone is for free, my cellphone with Public mobile with taxes $ 31.50 a month , 50 Gigs, unlimited calling texting , messaging Canada & USA. . Telus towers. Never paid income tax back to government. Getting sick and tired from this governments crewing and destroying once such a beautiful a prosperous country.
I remember when I emigrated in 1988 communist Czechoslovakia I was making $100 US a month gross. A few years after Berlin Wall collapsed and democracy came in couple of years the Czech Republic surpassed the Portugal in GDP and now coming close to Italian GDP. In mean time Canada is going backwards with productivity and GDP dropping to the last of G 7 countries thanks to retard Trudeau. Country with so many resources and so much land. It is so sad.
Country specific statistics for such emigrants, or reverse migrants, are not available. But official data obtained by Reuters shows between 80,000 and 90,000 immigrants left Canada in 2021 and 2022 and either went back to their countries, or onward elsewhere. Some 42,000 people departed in the first half of 2023.
