I love how they still say the Middle Class, the working poor is a real class. There is no middle class.

Defending the indefensible. Wake up supporters of this Liberal Government.

What business is it of the government to know my data? Just another example of a wasteful, imposing, bureaucracy, which is the Trudeau Liberals. I pray we vote them out next year resoundingly.

Is Trudopes bank account being invaded?

[emmaavila]

Take your money out of the bank and that's it

[vietdo]

Can we arrest this clown for invasion of privacy

I work hard and pay my taxes. What I do with the little money that’s left, after the government finishes taking the majority of my pay through various levels of taxation, is my business.

Thank you Mr. Harper for doing nothing on climate change.

Jesus doesn't anyone know a good Hitman? If it's a matter of money I would gladly contribute.

Trudeau would be right at home in East Germany's Berlin Wall era.Big Brother is watching you.

Justin doesn't get it! Canadians prefer Harper...he has so much more intelligence!

[aprilshendaruk]

I thought it was from 500, 000 people, not 5000? What’s the real number, or is it gonna eventually be ALL Canadians banking info they want and get? How can they be allowed to infringe on private, protected info, with ZERO authority to do so? Is there any way to stop them doing this? Love the “Big Brother on steroids” comment!

[stevenwhite]

Is the govt. really asking for this information? It is total BS...do
Canadians really trust the

Imagine if Trump had to take direct questions every week?

[jolanda]

[emmaavila]

They are fighting so hard for their high paychecks it's just so sad that they have to degrad themselves and any integrity that they may ever have had to do it it's so embarrassing to know that people like that have such important jobs

What do government programs have to do with my private financial information. 1984 citizens monitored 24/7 365 days - 2018- same old same old under the Liberals. I don't like Big (Trudeau) Brother.
