RE:Lorne Steinberg comment on BNNFunny, I think I heard myself say that 4 weeks ago and a few times since, but none of use Hob Knob with the Laurentian Elite so what the heck could we know about it. Only chance LB has of being bought as an operating entity is if someone out of country wants to get into the Canadain Banking business, which histrorically has not worked out very well. There is a reason HSBC sold out to the Royal Bank. Tangerine, Presidents Choice, CitiBank, Wells Fargo, and a raft of other players could not make a go of it in Canada.
