Malawi team getting ready in Ottawa

My journey to Malawi begins in Ottawa. There I met about 24 fellow credit union-ers who, like myself, were about to travel to 1 of 3 countries in Africa to work with local credit unions by providing advice and guidance to support the growth of their system as part of the Management Coaching program with the Canadian Cooperative Association.

Most people are not aware that 97 percent of our "money" in Canada is created in the form of credit or debt with interest cost attached for no other reason than bank profits. I propose mass education on the incredible potential for real growth in Canada if we, through our government, were to begin using the Bank of Canada to create all currency in this country, for the benefit of all of our citizens rather than for the benefit of private bankers.

Below is my response to the thread here.

You're right: banks don't have a stake in social networking. But Vancity isn't a bank; it's a community-based financial institution that is as interested in making our community work as it is in making money. And these days, community is more and more about what happens online, which is why we thought we could play a role in helping use the Net as a tool to support community development in the Lower Mainland and Victoria.

I just discovered this Vancity blog site....  Hmmmm.... very nice but why would a financial institution put up a web site for bloggers....  

Change - interesting theme considering people do not want to change, hate change and try to avoid change at all costs.  Why does the credit union want me to change?

Looks like Vancity staff are the ones posting.  I wonder if they do this while at work or on their own time.  The truth is out there! Let's get to the bottom of it.   peace
