Wow...for once I agree with something the NDP is saying [ATM's}

[IN HOC SIGNO]

Well it is a harmless diversion and keeps him from saying silly things about the rest of the world.

I guess it helps to keep the NDP busy with little guy stuff.

Services fees for transactions made from ATM that are not from your respective banks is the biggest crooks ever.

Specially, when you are wasted, and you have no money to take a cab. You go to these private ATM, for 20$, you pay nearly 40% in transaction fees from your bank, the network, and the private ATM mother company.

Sounds like a self-inflicted wound  ;D

You just got a 'Freddy' on that Trace.

That's a big problem right there, taking small amounts out and paying a fee each time, vs taking a larger amount out and paying the fee once...

 

[Brad Sallows]

Yes, it's certainly unfair that you would have to pay those charges rather than invest the money in cab fare and beer.  It's sure hard to do sound financial planning.

Earlier I wrote:

"The more we gripe about and restrict the profits of those who provide necessary or useful services, the fewer necessary or useful services we'll receive while other, more lucrative and less publicly maligned services dominate our economic activity.  Then we'll b!tch about "market failure" because not enough of the things we need are available.  Retarded."

Today on CBC's web site:

"Some doctors are scaling back their family practices to perform cosmetic procedures, spurring critics to ask whether the move will make current health-care waiting lists even longer."

...

"While a provincial health plan may pay a doctor $60 to do a 30-minute physical or $12 to remove a mole, patients pay more than $200 for a cosmetic procedure such as Botox that takes 10 minutes."

For those who thought they would have to agree with something the NDP came up with, rest easy now, it looks like Flaherty came up with the idea before Christmas and Layton just coatailed on it.  (gee, no surprise there that it wasn't an original thought)
