This panel discussion is a chance to learn about the many shortcomings of the existing private banking system in Canada and of the potential of a public postal bank to address them! Predatory lenders are draining money out of low-income communities; could postal banking be a public alternative?
By offering banking services through its existing network of postal outlets could Canada Post become the most accessible bank in the country and address the shortcomings of our private banking system?

Sounds interesting. I’d give postal banking serious consideration if it became available.
