Is this a re-run?

How did "pressuring lenders to make loans to those unfit to pay them"
force Wall St corporate banks to extend their leverage on CDOs and
similar vehicles of unassessed risk?

Seems to me like the gripe is legit about 'privatising profit while
socialising risk.' And if you look carefully, instead of just
listening to the fascist tub-thumpers, you'll see that our neighbor to
the North has far less of a problem with their banks.

You clearly can't see the connection. So there's no point in wasting my
time on explaining it to you.

Yeah, Canada is a world leader in economics and banking. All five banks.
