Border agents have intercepted tens of thousands in counterfeit currency from China
according to Jonathan McGrath, CBSA intelligence manager for Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland and Labrador.Officials have previously discovered counterfeit Canadian currency in the country with links to China.
In December 2023, RCMP seized hundreds of notes in PEI that included $100, $50 and $20 notes. The currency had Chinese symbols on it.
In 2022, RCMP charged one individual after police seized more than 10,000 counterfeit toonies in the Toronto area.
It is suspected that additional counterfeit coins made their way into the currency system.
The counterfeit coins have a “split-toe” on the right front paw of the polar bear, resembling a claw, RCMP said.Authentic Canadian bills have the following security features: the words “Bank of Canada”/“Banque du Canada” are raised and can be felt, the colour in the metallic portrait in the transparent window changes if the bill is tilted, the image in the metallic portrait in the transparent window will match the portrait on the front of the bill, and the numbers in and around the large window will match the value of the note.
CFIB also said authentic Canadian bank notes will have maple leaves around the border of the large window, and the frosted maple leaf window will have a transparent outline. The word “Canada” will also feel a little raised, according to CFIB.https://tinyurl.com/35knbs7s

It appears that this Senator hit a sour chord with this young lady!!
Jeff Smith, a Senator from Quebec, calls senior citizens the "Greediest Generation" as he compared , Old Age Security to "a Milk Cow with over a million teats".
Here's a response in a letter from Patty Johnstone in Ontario ..
I think she is a little ticked off! She also tells it like it is!
"Hey Jeff, let's get a few things straight!!
1. As a career politician, you have been on the public dole (tit) for FIFTY YEARS.
2. I have been paying CPP & OAS for 48 YEARS (since I was 15 years old. I am now 63). Being a Canadian citizen for over 20 years & paying my taxes, I am eligible at 65 to apply for Old Age Security - OAS (paid for through my taxes).
3. My Canada Pension payments, and those of millions of other Canadians, were safely tucked away in an interest bearing account for decades until you political pukes decided to raid...
