Donald Trump: “They have their banks here, Bank of Canada, big beautiful banks.” Buddy. The Bank of Canada is Canada’s Federal Reserve. It is not a retail bank. It does not have a branch in America. You cannot open a chequing account there, refinance a house there, or wander in and demand the manager. That is the institution that sets interest rates, not the one that hands out debit cards and toasters. Bank of America is a bank. Bank of Canada is a central bank. One sells you a credit card. The other sets the price of money. Different job. Different building. Different continent of competence. The “big beautiful banks” you’re thinking of are RBC, TD, BMO actual commercial banks that do operate in the United States. The Bank of Canada is the maple-flavoured Fed. It does not have a drive-thru in Florida. If this is how you’re handling a basic two-word institution name, maybe don’t put yourself in charge of a trade negotiation. You can’t hammer Canada for “not allowing American banks” while simultaneously inventing a Bank of Canada branch that does not exist. That’s not tough bargaining. That’s mixing up the central bank with Bank of America because both names contain the word “Bank.” Please stop naming institutions after hearing two words and assuming they have a kiosk. Next week you’ll be demanding we close the Royal Bank of England stand at JFK.

Mark Carney's team made the right call by not letting certain disruptive reporters into the press release. It's not about censorship; it's about ensuring the event focuses on policy and vision, not on being derailed by fringe wackos. 🇨🇦💪
