Again, another very well informed documentary that was easy to understand and appreciate about Canadian and American banking.
Thanks for the comment; I'm glad you enjoyed the documentary.
I love it when Mr. D'Allessandro says at 49:15 how in the past you had to work REAL hard to lose a billion dollars, now you can do it in a nanosecond.
Puts a different point on how banking and investing has changed over the years. That's progress, I suppose.
Thanks for the great comment. Mr. D’allasandro was a an incredible interview, shared a lot of great experiences and insights. At the end of the day he makes a good point.
Extremely high quality stuff here. Thanks for sharing it on UA-cam!
Glad you enjoy the content and find it interesting! I’m working on a follow up documentary now. Please like, subscribe and share if you want to support the channel.
@@FromWallStreettoBayStreetwill do! One small thing, at 37:40 the interviewee says the Yom Kippur war was in the “early 60s”, but it actually took place in 1973. I assume he meant early 70s.
Thanks and thanks for spotting that mistake. I actually spotted that mistake (and a couple of others) just before I delivered it WNED PBS…. Unfortunately it was already picture locked and mixed, so I couldn’t really make any last minute changes. It still bugs me though lol.
Do you have more interview footage on the Canadian Bank Mergers?
Yes, I might release a longer video on the subject.
@@FromWallStreettoBayStreetthat would be great
Excellent documemtary
Glad you enjoyed it
In the end, this plays like a one-hour commercial for the Canadian banking system and OFSI
Thanks for the comment. It does sometime feel that way. I honestly didn’t expect that it would turn out that way. I interviewed a lot of experts that were against oligopoly and Canadian banking in general. I think if you look at the system as a whole throughout history it’s hard not to call it a one of Canadas successes. They’re extremely stable because of their relationship with the government and they really helped grow and finance the country.
love this channel

I Love the content, learning a lot
Amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
Can you post the full 2h cut either here or somewhere we can send money? Great doc BTW. If copyright an issue geofence it for canadians only/
Thank you and I’m glad you enjoyed the doc. I’m thinking of posting the an earlier much longer edit but I’ll need some time to put it together. I’ll most likely post it here. I’m also working on a follow up documentary and some shorter mini docs that on the same subject matter. Btw if you want to support the channel, please like, subscribe and share. Thanks again for the comment.
Interesting film!
Glad you think so!
great documentary but a few less cuts, music lowered or cut out for periods and far less imagery may be more sophisticated and decent for the viewer experience. Let the speakers shine through and avoid the imagery and cuts that distract the viewers focus and highlight of whats being said.
I’m glad you enjoyed the documentary. Thanks for the suggestion, it’s always nice to get feedback. Please like subscribe and share if you want to support the channel.
Is this the full documentary? At approximately 9.58 Some gentlemen said the reason for being repulsed in the war of 1812 was because of a lack of financing from a bank. Is this true and is the reason a second bank was charted explicitly because of the this event? Edit also dueling is dumb AF.
Thanks for the great comment. Yeah this is the full doc, my original cut was 2 hours but PBS wanted it for an hour time slot so I had to cut. It wasn’t the only factor, but finance during the war of 1812 was a big issue. It was hard to outfit and finance on that level without a major national bank. Finance was also a big issue during the civil war, that’s going to be covered in my follow up doc. I agree, duels are pretty dumb.
So the Bank of Montreal plagiarized Hamilton’s document? 😅
They basically copied the charter completely and then BMO set the standard for banking in Canada. In a way Hamilton was the father of both systems but Jackson is the reason they’re so different. Thanks for the comment.
Casually leaving out the fact that the federal reserve is NOT a central bank nor is it a govt agency.
Lets ignore that its a private organisation
Thanks for the great comment Anubis. The FED is a central bank. Also, The Federal Reserve System is not "owned" by anyone. The Federal Reserve was created in 1913 by the Federal Reserve Act to serve as the nation's central bank. The Board of Governors in Washington, D.C., is an agency of the federal government and reports to and is directly accountable to the Congress. Awesome comment.
Hamilton was correct. Unfortunately, politicians waste money and spend it needlessly. The Canadian Banks, which has a population 8% the size of the USA, are far better controlled than American Banks. The Bank of Montreal is still strong and prosperous, as are the other 4 principal Banks. Interestingly, the Australian Banking system is equally strong.
Thanks for the great comment. You make some great points. I think Hamilton was really an economic genius with strong convictions and it’s no wonder that his impact is still felt today.
Wow! Incredibly out of date critique of Canadian banking. Our current mortgage market is hopelessly corrupt (2024).
Thanks for the comment. The documentary was made for pbs before the pandemic and I just got the rights back to post it now. I am working on a follow-up now that touches on currency, growth and the oligopolistic nature of the system.
The eyes means a deep secret, not involved with any fever today
Thanks for the comment, I don’t really understand it though.
Yes and then there's Bitcoin.
Thanks for the comment. I’m going to touch on bitcoin in the follow up documentary.
OMG. What apologists for the Central Banking cabal. I would love to hear Ron Paul's or G Edward Griffin's opinion of this completely biased "documentary".
Thanks for the comment Steven. I appreciate your feedback on this complicated issue. I interviewed a lot of experts on both sides of the political spectrum of liberalism and conservatism but was taken from a Canadian/American comparative view in mind. I know centralized banking vs unit banking is a more charged topic south of the board.
