🚨🇨🇦 Royal Bank of Canada REFUSES Customer their own cash ‼️
Try not to get mad as RBC stop this man (with ID) withdrawing his own cash.
This is now happening throughout the West – Banks make it as difficult as possible – they fear a ‘Run on the banks’.

Ontario is going to see a big jump at the pumps later this week as gas prices in the province hit levels not seen in nearly two years, according to one industry analyst.
Dan McTeague, the president of Canadians for Affordable Energy, told CP24 Wednesday that both Ontario and Quebec will see a 14 cent per litre increase overnight Thursday.

The opening lines of the Liberal government’s new budget accurately sum up the situation Canadians are facing:
“A fair chance to build a good middle class life–to do as well as your parents, or better–that’s the promise of Canada. For too many, especially for young Canadians, that promise is at risk.”
A lot of Canadians reading that line, particularly younger ones, would nod in agreement. It’s the line that follows, though, that will have them do a double take.
Russia’s military death toll in Ukraine has now passed the 50,000 mark, the BBC can confirm.
In the second 12 months on the front line – as Moscow pushed its so-called meat grinder strategy – we found the body count was nearly 25% higher than in the first year.
BBC Russian, independent media group Mediazona and volunteers have been counting deaths since February 2022.
One big thing has changed between the 2024 budget and the one Justin Trudeau’s government delivered last year — and it all revolves around an air of inevitability.
No matter who one wants to win the next election, there is a sense that this current government is winding down to some kind of conclusion. It is impossible to view this eighth budget from Trudeau’s government through any other lens. Granted, this may not be the last budget before a 2025 election, but it begs the question: what, if anything, will last?
The IDF has decided how it will counter-strike Iran and its proxies but has not yet settled on the timing; multiple sources told The Jerusalem Post on Tuesday.
Because the timing is still variable and because of all the necessary complex preparations, the current decision could change.
However, the very development of a decision shows the severity and determination of Israel’s leadership to strike back, though all indications are that Jerusalem still seeks to tamp down the attack to avoid spiraling into a regional war.
… The study, titled “Six months after October 7th: An analysis of terror attack responses by Canada’s religious groups,” had its origins in author Rahim Mohamed’s shock at the “wave of public displays of religious intolerance—mostly targeting Jewish Canadians—that would have been unthinkable just days earlier.”
A senior fellow at the Aristotle Foundation and a National Post columnist, Mohamed undertook a careful analysis of post-Oct. 7 statements, both formal and informal, by Canada’s leading Muslim organizations. From his findings, he concluded that interfaith relations in Canada are arguably “even worse than the headlines would suggest; indicating that it is not just a small, vocal minority who’s turned against Canada’s Jewish community, but in fact much of the Muslim community’s leadership.”
No offense but the good guys are not exactly legion and Justin funds votes.
A powerful force is stalking the world’s gold market. It is operating in the shadows.
None of the normal footprints are visible on the London bullion market or the Chicago Mercantile. Retail goldbugs have not been buyers: ETF gold funds have been shrinking since December. The crowd is piling into the Bitcoin scam instead.
Yet gold has smashed through a four-year barrier around $2,000 an ounce, rising in parabolic fashion since mid-February, and hitting an all-time high of $2,431 on April 11. Is somebody preparing for an escalation of the shadow Third World War?
As Canadians deal with a crushing housing shortage(opens in a new tab), high rental prices and inflationary price pressures(opens in a new tab), now Equifax Canada is warning that Canadian consumers are increasingly “under stress” from the surging cost of living.
“Our data says about 50 per cent of Canadians are living paycheque-to-paycheque(opens in a new tab),” Sue Hutchinson, the president of Equifax Canada, told CTV News Channel on Tuesday.
The Liberals have already announced a bevy of measures to help put a dent in Canada’s housing crisis, with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau(opens in a new tab) pledging to “meet the moment” as younger generations increasingly feel “middle-class stability” is out of reach.
Some people said it couldn’t be done. But after spending the winter warm and dry in her insulated RV, Carrie Steeves feels triumphant.
“It feels good that it was successful,” Steeves said in a recent interview. “It feels good that so many people told me that we couldn’t do it and that it was not doable to live in a camper for the winter, and I knew that it could be done.
“We survived it. Not only did we survive it, we thrived.”
Just over a third of American voters believe former president Donald Trump acted illegally in the hush-money case brought against him by Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg, according to a new AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research survey.
If a belligerent state launched 186 explosive drones, 36 cruise missiles, and 110 surface-to-surface missiles from three fronts against civilian targets within the United States, would Joe Biden call it a “win”?
Would the president tell us that the best thing we can do now is show “restraint”? What if that same terror state’s proxy armies had recently helped murder, rape, and kidnap more than 1,000 American men, women, and children? What if this terror state were trying to obtain nuclear weapons so it could continue to agitate without any consequences?
Do you think that the constant catastrophising of weather and climate in the mainstream media, politics and science has just appeared by accident? Over the last few years, the BBC and the Guardian, as of one mind, decided to float improbable ‘tipping point’ scares under cover of ‘scientists say’, while UN officials concluded that we had two years to save a ‘boiling’ planet and the ubiquitous ‘Jim’ Dale has been given free rein to make it up as he goes along on Talk TV and GB News. Of course all this didn’t suddenly happen. Each of these examples is testament to an extraordinary corruption of the true scientific process – an “amazing tale” according to political science writer Roger Pielke Jnr., “a story of how wealth and power sought to shape climate science in pursuit of political goals”.
The US has provided assurances to the high court in London in an attempt to prevent a last-ditch appeal by Julian Assange against extradition, but the WikiLeaks founder’s wife has dismissed them as “weasel words”.
Last month, two judges deferred a decision on whether Assange, who is trying to avoid being prosecuted in the US on espionage charges relating to the publication of thousands of classified and diplomatic documents, could take his case to an appeal hearing.
They granted him permission to appeal but only if the Biden administration was unable to provide the court with suitable assurances “that the applicant [Assange] is permitted to rely on the first amendment, that the applicant is not prejudiced at trial, including sentence, by reason of his nationality, that he is afforded the same first amendment [free speech] protections as a United States citizen, and that the death penalty is not imposed”.
