Letters: We can no longer bank on exemplary service
Because I was not a client, the employee refused to fulfil my request.
I then tried TD Canada Trust. After asking for a photo ID, that employee checked his computer, only to tell me he could not make the change.
He suggested I go next door to a currency exchange outlet where I was welcomed with a friendly greeting and the immediate cash exchange, no questions asked.
The two banks in question make billions in earnings. What has happened to friendly banking services?
The days of giving exemplary service seem to be no more. Maybe my request wasn't substantial enough.

Diabetes Barbie adds to our ills
The Mattel toy company is introducing a Barbie doll with Type 1 diabetes 'in a bid to foster a greater sense of inclusion and empathy among children.'
When is the left going to understand that it is fuelling the kind of backlash that U.S. President Donald Trump and his supporters have for years been exploiting to swing the pendulum in the complete opposite direction?
It should be clear by now that the left's aggressive and progressive agenda has contributed to the adoption of a more right wing and authoritarian one by the U.S. administration — with far-reaching consequences not only south of the border, but in Canada and throughout the world.

An English-speaker at the White House
Re: ' Trump asks Liberian leader where he learned 'such beautiful English' ' (NP Montreal, July 11)
It is a sad state of affairs when a U.S. president is so ill-informed about the language spoken by visiting heads of state.
When Donald Trump remarked on Joseph Boakai's 'beautiful English,' the president of Liberia — a country where English is the official language — seemed genuinely unable to return the compliment.

Trump says Coca-Cola will use real sugar in its US flagship drink. The company isn't confirming that
WASHINGTON (AP) — Make American Coke Great Again? President Donald Trump said Wednesday that Coca-Cola has agreed to use real cane sugar in its flagship soft drink in the U.S. at his suggestion — though the company didn't confirm such a move. Any switch from high-fructose corn syrup in Coke sold in the United States would put Coca-Cola more in line with its practice in other countries, including Mexico and Australia. But it wouldn't affect Trump's drink of choice, Diet Coke, which uses aspartame as a calorie-free beverage. 'I have been speaking to Coca-Cola about using REAL Cane Sugar in Coke in the United States, and they have agreed to do so,' Trump wrote on his social media site. 'I'd like to thank all of those in authority at Coca-Cola. This will be a very good move by them — You'll see. It's just better!' A spokesperson for Atlanta-based Coca-Cola Co. said in a statement that the company appreciated Trump's enthusiasm and promised that more details on new offerings within its products would be shared soon. Coca-Cola didn't elaborate. But the company has long indulged U.S. fans of cane sugar by importing glass bottles of Mexican Coke to the U.S. since 2005. Returning to sugar in U.S. production, meanwhile, might affect the nation's corn farmers, whose yields are used in artificial sweeteners. 'Replacing high fructose corn syrup with cane sugar doesn't make sense,' Corn Refiners Association President and CEO John Bode said in a statement. 'President Trump stands for American manufacturing jobs, American farmers, and reducing the trade deficit. Replacing high fructose corn syrup with cane sugar would cost thousands of American food manufacturing jobs, depress farm income, and boost imports of foreign sugar, all with no nutritional benefit.' Trump himself is such a fan of Diet Coke that that he had a red button installed on the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office that he can press to have a White House butler bring one in for him. Wednesdays Columnist Jen Zoratti looks at what's next in arts, life and pop culture. Despite his fondness for Diet Coke, his relationship with the company hasn't always been sweet. In a series of posts in 2012, Trump suggested diet soda might be connected to weight gain before eventually writing, 'The Coca Cola company is not happy with me — that's okay, I'll still keep drinking that garbage.' A bottle of Diet Coke could be seen sitting next to his chair years later, at a G20 summit in 2017. And The New York Times reported in 2018 that he was drinking a dozen Diet Cokes daily. __ Associated Press writer Dee-Ann Durbin in Detroit and Josh Funk in Omaha, Nebraska, contributed to this story.

Trump slams his own supporters as ‘weaklings' for falling for what he now calls the Epstein ‘hoax'
President Donald Trump speaks during a meeting with Bahrain's Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa in the Oval Office of the White House, Wednesday, July 16, 2025, in Washington. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon) NEW YORK — U.S. President Donald Trump is lashing out at his own supporters, accusing them of being duped by Democrats, as he tries to clamp down on criticism over his administration's handling of much-hyped records in the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking investigation, which Trump now calls a 'Hoax.' 'Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this 'bull——,' hook, line, and sinker,' Trump wrote Wednesday on his Truth Social site, using an expletive in his post. 'They haven't learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years.' 'Let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work, don't even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don't want their support anymore! Thank you for your attention to this matter,' he went on. The rhetoric marks a dramatic escalation for the Republican president, who has broken with some of his most loyal backers on issues in the past, but never with such fervor. Though Trump cannot legally run for another term, he will need strong support from a united party to pass his remaining legislative agenda in a narrowly-divided Congress and an energized base to turn out in next year's midterm elections. Dangled documents The schism centres on the Trump administration's handling of documents related to Epstein, who was found dead in his New York jail cell in August 2019, weeks after his arrest on sex trafficking charges. Last week, the Justice Department and the FBI acknowledged in a memo that Epstein did not maintain a 'client list' to whom underage girls were trafficked. They also said no more files related to the investigation would be made public, despite past promises from Attorney General Pam Bondi that had raised the expectations of conservative influencers and conspiracy theorists. 'It's a new administration and everything is going to come out to the public,' she had said. The reversal sparked fury among Trump's most loyal defenders, who have turned on Bondi, in particular. But Trump has repeatedly said he maintains confidence in his attorney general and had instead chided those who continue to press the issue. 'I don't understand what the interest or what the fascination is,' he said Tuesday, after unsuccessfully urging his ''boys' and, in some cases, 'gals'' to stop wasting 'Time and Energy on Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody cares about.' In an Oval Office appearance Wednesday after the Truth post, Trump made clear that he was done with the story and said he had 'lost a lot of faith in certain people.' 'It's all been a big hoax,' he told reporters. 'It's perpetrated by the Democrats, and some stupid Republicans and foolish Republicans fall into the net.' He complained that Bondi has been 'waylaid' over her handling of the case and has given out all 'credible information' about the wealthy financier. 'If she finds anymore credible information she'll give that, too,' Trump said. 'What more can she do than that?' Trump and many figures in his administration, including FBI Director Kash Patel and his deputy, Dan Bongino, have spent years stoking dark and disproved conspiracy theories like those surrounding Epstein, including embracing QAnon-tinged propaganda that casts Trump as a savior sent to demolish the 'deep state.' Anger still brewing Trump's comments have not been enough to quell those who are still demanding answers. Some of the podcasters and pro-Trump influencers who helped rally support for Trump in the 2024 campaign said Wednesday they were disappointed or puzzled by his comments. Far-right conspiracy theorist and podcaster Alex Jones called Trump's handling of the Epstein situation 'the biggest train wreck I've ever seen.' 'It's not in character for you to be acting like this,' he said in a video Tuesday. 'I support you, but we built the movement you rode in on. You're not the movement. You just surfed in on it.' Benny Johnson, a conservative podcaster, said on his show that he is a fan of Trump's movement but is trying to 'give tough love and speak on behalf of the base.' 'Maybe it hasn't been framed correctly for the president,' Johnson said. 'I don't know.' House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., in an interview on Benny Johnson's show Tuesday, had called for the Justice Department to 'put everything out there and let the people decide.' His first-term national security adviser, retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn implored Trump in a lengthy message to correct course. 'All we want at this stage is for a modicum of trust to be reestablished between our federal government and the people it is designed to serve. That's all (PERIOD!),' he wrote. 'With my strongest recommendation, please gather your team and figure out a way to move past this.' Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk on his podcast attempted some damage control on Trump's behalf. 'Don't take too seriously this whole Truth Social here,' Kirk told his audience. 'I know some people are getting fired up about this. I don't believe he was trying to insult anybody personally.' He also offered a message to Trump. 'The grassroots is not trying to make you look bad,' he said. 'We want to try and make sure the bad people that have done such terrible things to you can finally be held accountable.' Other Trump allies have stuck by his side, suggesting he does not need the influencers who have capitalized on Epstein conspiracy theories to make money and earn viewers. 'He lent you his clout and voters,' Brenden Dilley, the head of a group of meme makers who have lent their support to Trump, wrote on X on Wednesday. 'They don't belong to you.' Broader disapproval While those speaking out represent a fringe of Trump's most vocal online base, they are not the only ones dissatisfied with the government's handling of the Epstein case, according to recent polling. A CNN/SSRS poll, for instance, found that about half of U.S. adults are not satisfied with the amount of information the federal government has released about the Epstein case. About 3 in 10 said it doesn't matter either way and about 2 in 10 didn't know enough to offer an opinion. Almost no one said they were satisfied with the amount of information released. Looking ahead to 2026 midterm elections, some Democrats are clear-eyed that the Epstein files may not be a front-and-centre issue for voters who tend to put a premium on kitchen table issues, but they see it as part of a broader pattern that could hamper Trump and the GOP. 'There is something breaking through to voters getting at this idea of a Republican Party working for these big, corrupt, wealthy, famous people and not fighting for their constituents,' said Katarina Flicker of the House Majority PAC, Democrats' super PAC for congressional races. ___ Associated Press writer Ali Swenson, Amelia Thomson DeVeaux in Washington and Bill Barrow in Atlanta contributed to this report.

How Canada is responding to the U.S. steel and aluminum tariffs
OTTAWA – U.S. President Donald Trump introduced 25 per cent tariffs on all imports of steel and aluminum on March 12, and doubled the levies to 50 per cent in early June. The Canadian government has responded with a number of measures. Initial response The day after the U.S. tariffs came into effect, Canada imposed a retaliatory 25 per cent tariff on American goods. The government said the levies cover $29.8-billion worth of imports in total, including $15.6 billion worth of steel and aluminum. The tariffs also cover a variety of other goods including gold, jewelry, platinum, scrap metal and waste, ceramics, iron products, umbrellas and candles. There are more than 530 products on the list ranging from screws and sewing needles to pipes and railway tracks, stoves and barbecues and, yes, even the kitchen sink. New protections On June 19, the government announced protectionist policies, including new federal procurement rules that limit access to Canadian suppliers and reliable trading partners, and pledged to adopt measures to address overcapacity and unfair trade practices in the steel and aluminum sectors. Prime Minister Mark Carney also said Canada will adjust steel and aluminum counter-tariffs on July 21, depending on how the trade negotiations with Trump were going. Later that month, tariff rate quotas were set on steel mill products imported from countries Canada does not have a free-trade deal with. If imports exceed 2024 levels, a 50 per cent tariff would kick in. The government said the measure was meant to address the risk that steel that had been intended for the U.S. market is redirected to Canada. Additional measures Tariff rate quotas will be expanded to countries that Canada has a free-trade deal with starting on Aug. 1, except for the U.S. and Mexico. Any imports above 2024 levels will be subject to a 50 per cent surtax if a trade deal is in place. Steel from countries with no trade deal with Canada will be subject to the tariff after imports exceed 50 per cent of the 2024 levels. Imports of steel that was melted and poured in China will also be subject to a 25 per cent levy, unless they're imported from the U.S. Canada has had a 25 per cent tariff on Chinese steel and aluminum products since last October. Business-specific relief Monday Mornings The latest local business news and a lookahead to the coming week. Businesses can apply for tariff exemptions or refunds in some circumstances, for example, if they are importing goods that are exported or used to produce goods for export within four years. There's also an exceptional relief program in cases where the imported goods cannot be sourced outside the U.S. or where there are 'exceptional circumstances that could have severe adverse impacts on the Canadian economy,' the Finance Department says. A $10-billion loan program for large companies aims to help businesses with a liquidity shortfall. Initially the program was for companies with more than $300 million in Canadian revenue to apply for at least $60 million in loans, but on Wednesday the government revised the criteria to $150 million in revenue and $30 million in minimum loan amount. The government has also announced temporary changes to the employment insurance program to waive the one-week waiting period for applicants and to allow businesses to reduce their hours without laying off workers. This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 16, 2025.
