jdobbin Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 http://www.cbc.ca/money/story/2009/01/18/b...ks.html?ref=rss The BBC did not cite a figure, but the Times spoke of a $187-billion-Cdn "lifeline" being extended to such institutions as the Royal Bank of Scotland and Lloyds Banking Group. The Sunday Telegraph said the figure could be as high as $368 billion Cdn. Holy Toledo. That's a lot of coin to bail out the banks. Yikes.

Another 368 billion sounds almost meaningless, like a galaxy that's far far away. But you say its new, is it improved too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
