  • BANK MERGERS: IS BIGGER BETTER? Introduction
    BANK MERGERS: IS BIGGER BETTER? Introduction In January 1998, the Bank of Montreal and the Royal Bank of Canada announced plans to merge and create one superbank. A few months later, in April, the Toronto Dominion Bank and the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce announced similar plans. The proposed bank mergers caught many people off guard, including Minister of Finance Paul Martin. In a Macleans interview, Martin said, "Just because they decided to get into bed together doesnt mean that I have to bless their union." Martins message seemed to be that Ottawa, not the banks, would decide the future of banking in Canada. "There will be no mergers in the banking sector until we are convinced that [it] is what is best for Canadians, and we will not be stampeded into making that decision." According to the banks, the proposed mergers were a natural response to a changing and highly competitive global marketplace. Mergers, they said, provide a way of maintaining a strong Canadian presence in the banking industry. Certainly, recent technological advances have dramatically changed the manner in which the financial services industry conduct their business, and the above- mentioned banks feel, therefore, that they need to be bigger to compete and to have a substantial presence in the global banking community. Martin himself acknowledged the changed nature of banking when he said, "If you look back at banking five years ago, you might as well look back two centuries." While the proposed bank mergers brought attention to the challenges facing Canadas banks, these challenges are not peculiar to the banks alone.

  • Going National
    CHAPTER TWO Going National "Our Progressive Ideas" o A MARITIMER, STEPPING OFF THE TRAIN, MONTREAL IN 1887 WAS A CITY T of expanding wealth and possibilities. It was Canada's largest city: its population, just cresting 200,000 in 1887, dwarfed Halifax's, which had not even reached 40,000. From Montreal's stations, one could board the newly completed Canadian Pacific Railway and be in Vancouver in five days or - as Edson Pease and Tom Kenny would so often do - ride the Grand Trunk to Riviere-du-Loup and there connect with the Intercolonial for all points east. To varying degrees, Ottawa, Toronto, and the emerging cities of the West all seemed caught in Montreal's web. The iron tube of the Victoria Bridge, a marvel of Victorian engineering, had conquered the St. Lawrence and given the city access to its bustling American rivals to the south, Philadelphia, Boston, and New York. In their nineteenth-century passion for anatomical metaphors, economic commentators portrayed the St. Lawrence as the pulsing commercial aorta of Canadian commerce, with Montreal as its throbbing heart. If Halifax was struggling to maintain its frail hinterland, Montreal tapped its hinterland with rela­ tive ease and profit. Nowhere was the power of Montreal more tangibly displayed than on St. James Street, the bastion of the Anglo-Scottish entrepreneurship that had for over a century propelled the city forward. The narrowness of the street as it ran through the area just to the north of the port accentuated the seeming omnipotence of its looming commercial bUildings. The grandeur and solidity of the Merchants Bank of Canada, Molsons Bank, or the Montreal City and District Savings Bank were clearly evident.
