Can anyone confirm if the banks are down in your Canadian City?
I just got a call, that they were. Seems very panicy, I checked CNN could not find anything.

Thanks.

Hmm.. that's definitely odd. I guess since they are connected to some form of the internet, that could be why they are down?

Everything is up for me (i'm in Montreal).

I've checked Royal Bank, TD Bank, Scotia Bank, Bank of Montreal... they are faster than ever.

I find it funny that automatically you are jumping to the conclusion that it could be a Terrorist attack.

Lame.

infinity7, just stating what I heard,
Its on the news now.

If the banks staff can call it a terrorist attack then why not me?
Is'nt it terrorism that people attack the net?

Think about it, then go tell the sources they are lame.

I stubbed my toe. Damned terrorists.
The ring won't come off my pudding can. Damned terrorists.
Don Cherry's wearing an obnoxious tie. Damned terrorists again!

TemplateGuy, just because "the news" says something doesn't mean it's true. In fact, a comparatively small portion is usually true and has been blown up out of proportion. "The news" is nothing more than a bunch of people hired to report things. People make mistakes. They get facts mixed up. They lie outright.

I'm in Toronto, by the way, and I can online bank just fine. Just paid a bill, actually. So your facts aren't straight.
