1638903482844364803 | @harleyf @CanadaKaz @mgeist C-11 & C-18 are symptomatic of a gov’t that does not understand tech enough to properly regulate it | 1 |

1638552807660740610 | @CanadaKaz Zero bank failures is not the optimal number! | 0 |
1638566891043037184 | @CanadaKaz @arampell If I remember correctly small to medium-sized banks tend to do more lending to small-to-medium-sized businesses. I ~think~ the U.S. has better SMB access to capital than most other countries (and fintechs also stepped up a lot post-2008). | 0 |
1638557853513551874 | @CanadaKaz Although! https://t.co/N2NNdNMIMe | 0 |
1638557730612076547 | @CanadaKaz Check out CMHC to see a large reason for this. | 0 |
1638555539457056770 | @CanadaKaz Be curious as to what the Canadian government did during that time. But currently there are over 4000 banks in the U.S. but only 34 domestic Canadian ones, so a bank failure in the U.S. doesn’t hit the same way it would in Canada. | 0 |
1638555493269397505 | @CanadaKaz Making US banks act exactly like Canadian banks probably induces huge credit contraction in US.... ideal answer likely somewhere in between | 0 |
1638554787632279552 | @CanadaKaz Yes I agree... Just making the point that i think the risk-averse attitude in Canada (of which I am a proud citizen) carries over from banks to VC$ and elsewhere.... | 0 |
1638553332150050821 | @CanadaKaz True... but how would you rank quality/quantity of VC $ in Canada vs. US? Linked | 0 |

1638567829921230851 | @CanadaKaz @colinwilhelm So much of lending is real estate related and almost every developer/house fixer/etc uses a local bank because they are the only ones who “get it” | 4 |
1638649239147356160 | @vibhor_chhabra @CanadaKaz This is a really great read on the number of banks in the US. @fintechjunkie is also a great follow: https://t.co/Lhbcd0e9zQ | 2 |

1638967969693724685 | @CanadaKaz @mgeist @mgeist substack is exceptional. If this legislation passes, I fear people will not have an opportunity to easily find it. | 1 |
1638572115577405440 | @CanadaKaz Do you think the same challenges apply with Canada having fewer than 40 banks and the US having more than 4,000 banks? | 1 |
