Could you elaborate? I just looked it up and Canadian banks have swift codes. Am I missing something?

[–] QuillcrestFalconer@hexbear.net 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The implication is the US will kick Canada out of the swift system. It's not gonna happen, but it would be pretty funny if it did

[–] Sundial@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

Ahh. Thought it was in reference to something that happened and I didn't know about. Thanks for clarifying.

Just think about how funny it would be if Graham followed through on his threat and it caused BRICS to start recruiting from former US allies

[–] Sundial@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago

The US would panic at the thought of Canada joining BRICS more than any other country given Canada's geographic location. America needs Canada to be on their side.
