]]> Have you seen Mint.com? If you haven’t you should check it out, because it is awesome.

I think there is an opportunity here to really innovate the online banking experience in Canada, it’ll be interesting to see who’s going to make it happen.

“The economy is now in a recession,” he said. “It will last longer and be deeper than the last two recessions, which lasted only 8 months from peak to trough. It could well be longer and deeper than the recession in the early 1980s that lasted 16 months.”
