Jim Flaherty's Cyprus-style bank rescue plan: Walkom
Be prepared. If you hold the wrong kind of bank accounts, Jim Flaherty may have your savings in his cross-hairs.
That's the message from the finance department, which has been set the unwelcome task of having to explain the government's latest attempt to prevent a Cyprus-style financial meltdown in Canada.
