CBHA Webinar Talk – 150 Years of Canadian Banking

Join us for another in our CBHA/ACHA Webinar series.

150 Years of Canadian Banking and a Look Into the Future

Date:  Wednesday April 14th, 2021
Time:  2:00 pm EST

The Canadian Banking System has a stellar international reputation. This is NOT because of recent developments but rather it is because the Fathers of Confederation, based on their observations of the American Banking System, opted for banking as a Federal function NOT state nor provincial. Having made that decision they rejected the proposed 1869 legislation modeled on the American National Bank Acts and came up with a unique Canadian system. This was one of the greatest achievements of the Macdonald government, and arguably far more important than the protective tariff or the construction of the CPR. And yet few historians, other than Arthur Lower, even mention it.
