Sunday Cinema: Oh Canada...
Great little low-budget big-message movie about how the private banks in Canada have been given the power to create notes from nothing. Funny how when they do it it's called business, commerce, banking, etc... yet if we as individuals were to try this we'd be charged with fraud... shakes head...
