Fintech poses 'long-term and dangerous' threat to golden goose of Canadian banks, analysts warn
Toronto, ON--Canada's banks may be pitching their big push into technology as a growth platform, but in reality it is just a way — and a costly one at that — to try to preserve their "golden goose" of dominance in personal and commercial banking, according to a new report from analysts at National Bank Financial, says Peter J. Thompson of the National Post.
"We think the Big Six Canadian banks have all embarked not on offensive, growth-oriented strategies – as recent rhetoric from all suggest … but rather, they have gone on the defensive," bank analyst Peter Routledge and two associates wrote in the report.
"We now see all Canadian P&C banking fintech or digital initiatives as necessary responses to a long-term and dangerous competitive threat."
The defensive strategies to protect revenue and earnings in their profitable personal and commercial banking franchises — along with the imperative to invest in technology — could "overwhelm the earnings growth imperative" of the big banks, the National Bank analysts wrote in a report distributed Sunday evening.
The report predicts the big, dominant banks will prevail in their showdown with fintech rivals. But they suggest it will be a long and expensive battle that won't allow the banks to weather cyclical and economic challenges to earnings growth — as they have in the past — by cutting costs.
Canadian banks have been reviewing their operations and looking to cut costs for months amid concerns about an economic slowdown and curtailed borrowing by over-leveraged consumers.
A report from Reuters on Monday said several hundred employees could be cut by TD in a series of cuts that began last week. Canada's second-largest bank has about 85,000 employees in its retail, wholesale and investment banking operations in Canada and the U.S.
A TD spokesperson told the Financial Post an organizational review that began in the first quarter focusing primarily on the United States has now shifted to Canada and should be complete by the end of the year.
"Its focus is primarily on clearly defining our executive and corporate management structure," the spokesperson said in an emailed statement. "As a result of the review, some roles are changing and some are being impacted."
Earlier this month, National Bank of Canada announced cuts that will affect a few hundred employees of the Montreal-based bank.
Investor conferences held by Toronto-Dominion Bank and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce this month convinced Routledge and the other National Bank Financial analysts not to take the bank "messaging" about tech and digital innovation at "face value," according to their report this week — though their conclusions are not confined to those two banks.
TD and CIBC showcased strategies for their business, and highlighted the strengths of the personal and commercial lines which have been a key driver behind all the Canadian banks' profit growth over the past several years.
Of particular note to the National Bank analysts were comments executives at TD and CIBC made about partnerships forged with outside "fintech" companies that are innovating in traditional business lines such as payments.
"Why, we asked ourselves, is the boring but profitable Canadian oligopoly inviting third parties into their most valuable, profitable business line?" the analysts wrote. "Simply put, we think they are worried … worried that innovators will nip away at, and ultimately fleece, their Golden Geese."
The report noted the personal and commercial franchises of the Canadian banks have been largely insulated from competition in the past, due to their individual and combined market share and regulations that have made it difficult for foreign players to enter via acquisition.
The most imminent threat from the fintech firms is to the payments operations of the Canadian banks' domestic personal and commercial banking franchises, the report suggests.
Those nipping at the heels of Canada's dominant banks may not be of the magnitude of a Microsoft, which, the report points out, benefitted greatly from being invited to the table with IBM, but the National Bank analysts say they "do think the Canadian Big Six banks face a material threat to their most profitable business line."
The report concluded that the big banks will be forced to confront and combat the fintech firms over the long term.
"In other words," the analysts wrote, "this threat is clear, present, intensifying and has staying power – one or two simple alliances will not neutralize it."

This 1971 Porsche 911E was purchased new at Vasek Polak in Hermosa Beach, California by a husband and wife team of physicists. It remained with the original owners until being acquired by the seller in 2013. Now showing just 48k miles, the car is finished in Conda Green over black leatherette and powered by its numbers-matching 2.2-liter flat-six, which is paired with a 5-speed manual transaxle. Service within the last 1,000 miles included a clutch replacement, tune-up, oil change, alignment, new engine seals and gaskets, and new tires. This 911E is now offered with service records from throughout its history, an owner's manual, a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, and a clean Texas title in the seller's name.
The exterior is finished in Conda Green (2626), and a selection of paint meter readings in the gallery show between 3.7 and 5.4 mil. "It's got original paint [and] original interior" notes the original owner in a video interview about the car from 2013, which is included at the end of the listing. Closeups are also provided of the lighting and trim, which includes the US-market sugar-scoop headlight surrounds along with front and rear bumperettes.
14" Fuchs wheels wear Vredestein Sprint Classic tires that were mounted in August 2018, and an alignment was also completed at that time. Factory equipment includes ventilated disc brakes all around.
The cabin features black leatherette upholstery on the seats, door panels, and dash. The car is not fitted with a radio, though a center speaker and antenna were factory equipment.
VDO instrumentation includes a 150-mph speedometer along with a centrally-mounted 8k-rpm tachometer. The 5-digit odometer shows over 48k miles, around 200 of which have been added by the seller.
The fuel-injected 2.2-liter 911/01 flat-six had a factory-rated output of 155 horsepower at 6,200 rpm and 141 lb-ft of torque at 4,500 rpm when new. A service in January 2019 at Eagle Racing in Dripping Springs, Texas included an oil change, and other work within the last 1,000 miles has included installation of a new clutch, a tune-up, and replacement of seals and gaskets as shown on the receipt in the gallery.
Stamping *6210606* is shown above and matches the number listed on the Porsche CoA, confirming the engine as original. Transaxle #7114144 is also shown in the gallery below along with its type stamping.
The suspension components have been dry-ice blasted, cleaned, and repainted. The exhaust system was also prepped and repainted. Additional photos of the underside and wheel wells are included in the gallery below.
A binder of service documents includes records since the car was new, and a sampling of individual receipts is shown in the gallery below. An owner's manual and maintenance record book are also included.
The Porsche Certificate of Authenticity lists the original colors, engine number, and factory equipment. The video below was filmed prior to the seller's purchase and shows an interview with the original owners, as well as driving and ride-along clips.


We have just finished round of testing and are able to release drivers for PicoScope to be used on ARM powered platforms. We have decided to focus on 2 groups: specialized armhf build for RaspberryPi under control of Raspbian and more general amrhf build to be used with BeagleBoneBlack (cortex-A8 based devices) under control of Debian.
There are few remarks with this release as well with general notes to be taken into account before using those drivers on embedded devices.
It is recommended to use powered USB hub while connecting the devices. Some of the devices have increased power requirements and connecting them to the embedded system may cause a power surge, which subsequently may cause voltage drop effecting in OS/CPU hang or in extreme cases blowing a fuse or damaging the port.
Most of the embedded systems will be running below recommended system requirements for the drivers. This means that on some occasions while system is busy, the driver will not have enough resources to process the data, resulting in internal watchdog kicking in and dropping of the device / hanging the application.
Designing application you should have in mind memory requirements and adjust the sampling rate/amount accordingly to the device it is run under.
Although the use case in this topic shows PicoScope6 running on BeagleBoneBlack, there are no current plans on releasing it for mentioned platforms. Mainly due to system resource demands. We did optimize the application to the point of operation, but the real world usability is minimal.
The drivers may work on other platforms - but those cases we are not able to test or provide fixes for. Also they are delivered as Debian packages and extracting binaries for use with another system may cause the faulty behavior.
To compile the example, in the console/terminal navigate to the required folder.
The examples were taken straight from any other Linux releases. They may have values/configurations not suitable for every particular device so please be aware.
Which version of Debian ?
Debian 7 or Debian 8 ( Jessie ) ?
I really appreciate the effort !
Debian 8 would be required for PicoScope, due to missing packages in 7, but 7 will be fine for your own application using the drivers.
I got the following error message: configure: error: libps5000a missing!
and after that, I couldn't continue.
I kindly appreciate your help as soon as possible !
This is due to Jessie having upgraded opencv to 2.4.
the application runs fine !
How might some of you use a Pico Scope with open-source hardware? I'd like to chat offline for a possible article on EDN or EE Times.
Is it possible to use the PicoScope 2208 series inthe Odroid-U3 plattform ?(http://www.hardkernel.com/main/products ... &tab_idx=2).
I appreciate so much your recommendation.
libps2000a *should work* on Ubuntu14 on any ARM based board as long as the OS support it. However we haven't tested this particular version of OS on the hardware in subject.
The problem you will definitely encounter is OpenCV version. Ubuntu14 supplies libopencv-core2.4 while libpicoipp, requirement for libps2000a, needs libopencv-core2.3. It can be attempted to solve in the same way as in previous posts for Pablo.
However, I would like to know if it is possible to use a graphical interface as is shown in the forum (http://www.picotech.com/support/post42037.html#p42037).
I would appreciate so much your recomendations.
There are armhf drivers in the repository (libusbtc08_1.8.10-1r07_armhf.deb), follow the instructions in the first post to access these.
I try to run the ps2000a driver on raspberry pi on the newest rasbian based on debian wheezy.
I have a little program which controls the signal generator. This runs nicely on a i386 system.
works but not in this case. I was rewarded with a memory problem in the usb library.
generator to drive a neutron spin flipper.
Apologies for the delay in a response back to you.
My understanding is that there has been a fix made to the drivers and a request has been made in order for these to be made available.
We will post back here once the repository has been updated.
Update: A new release of the drivers is now available resolving the opencv dependency problems.

Pope Prays For U.S. Capitol Victims, Urges Americans To Protect Democratic Values
By Matthew S. Schwartz
Pope Francis is seen giving a homily on Christmas Eve. Francis on Sunday condemned the violence at the U.S. Capitol and prayed for reconciliation.
Pope Francis offered prayers Sunday for those who lost their lives during the siege at the U.S. Capitol — and encouraged Americans to come together in a spirit of reconciliation.
"I extend an affectionate greeting to the people of the United States of America, shaken by the recent siege of Congress," Francis said, as reported by the Catholic News Agency. "I pray for those who lost their lives — five lost in those dramatic moments."
Violence is always "self-destructive," the pope said. "Nothing is gained with violence and so much is lost. I urge the authority of the state and the entire population to maintain a high sense of responsibility in order to calm the spirits, promote national reconciliation and protect the democratic values rooted in American society."
Francis asked the Virgin Mary, the patroness of the United States, to help "keep alive the culture of encounter" and "the culture of care" so that Americans can "build the common good together."
The pope's remarks come after he earlier told Italian news program TgCom24 he was "astonished" by the attack on Capitol Hill. "I was astonished, because they are people so disciplined in democracy," he said, adding that even in the most mature society, things can go wrong and some people "take a path against the community, against democracy, against the common good."
Francis condemned the violence, and offered a message of hope: Now that this division is out in the open, "it can be seen, so it can be remedied."

Some of DFW's Best Venue Managers Recall Their Favorite Bygone Venues
Jaime-Paul Falcon
| Dallas Observer Music Awards |
Jaime-Paul Falcon | November 4, 2013 | 8:42am
It's the 25th Anniversary of the DOMA. And while it's true that bands and venues come and go, many of the people behind them have been here all along. We asked a few of these long standing music veterans -- now behind the scenes at DOMA nominated venues The Kessler, The Foundry and Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studios -- about their favorite old venues.
Jeff Liles, Artistic Director/Talent Buyer at The Kessler Theater
The Bronco Bowl. People usually assume that the center of gravity for live music in Dallas had to be somewhere in Deep Ellum. While I spent many years there (born at Baylor Hospital, in fact) I'd still have to say that arguably the best Dallas live music venue of all time had to be the Bronco Bowl, which was located in North Oak Cliff. The track record there speaks for itself: The Clash, U2, The Cure, REM, The Smiths, David Bowie, Prince, Metallica, Peter Tosh, Elvis Costello, Public Enemy, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pearl Jam, Slayer, Bruce Springsteen, Beastie Boys, Wu Tang Clan, Skinny Puppy and literally hundreds of other amazing acts; in an intimate auditorium that held less than 3,500 people. Don't get me wrong; I will always love Deep Ellum. But most of these huge legacy acts like Bowie, Prince, U2 and Springsteen never played there.
The larger concert hall at the Bronco Bowl had perfect sight lines and great sound, and was part of a larger, "old school" entertainment complex that included bowling lanes, an archery range, a putt-putt golf course and a smaller 350-capacity venue called the Canyon Club. Getting to see some of these artists in a place like this - before they graduated to basketball and hockey arenas - provided countless amazing personal memories for thousands of people my age. (Trying to keep your balance while the entire audience jumped up and down - literally shaking the entire building - during a System of a Down show; watching the audience trying to rip Morrisey's clothes off; women diving on top of one another in an attempt to tackle a shirtless D'Angelo; that kind of thing.) Prior to the onslaught of indie rock artists that began around 1980 or so, the venue was known for hosting everything from acts like The Everly Brothers and Chubby Checker to Alice Cooper, Blue Oyster Cult and Grand Funk. The Bronco Bowl was the closest thing we've ever had to our own Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And the scene outside in the parking lot before shows was always a blast!
Jeff Biehler, Bar Manager at The Foundry:
My favorite venues that are no longer around are Club Clearview and Bar of Soap. Clearview was sweet because you had all these killer bands like Liabach, for example playing that tiny stage, some of my favorite shows ever were in that tiny room. Bar of Soap for obvious reasons. Bands -- mainly louder punk type bands -- set up in the corner by the door, and usually packed the place out. It was an anything goes type of place. I saw Bob Log III there several times before he blew up, loved that place.
Christopher Jeffers of The Foundry
One of the best bar jobs I ever had was at the Muddy Waters on lowest Greenville. There were several versions of Muddys, but the one I speak of was the one that flew under the Barley House flag. When I started Carter Albrecht was running it. There were just four bartenders total, all of whom had been there for years. Carter booked the bands, and I helped wherever I could. It was the perfect storm of live music during that period of time. Bands like Pleasant Grove, The Lonlies, and Radiant all had month long weekday shows. Bands like Slobberbone and Boys Named Sue would use the bar as practice space, and we would open just as an excuse to watch and drink beer. And when Carter had forgotten to book a band he would just play himself, or with his band, The Sparrows. They were as close to a house band that you could get. The place was a shit hole, but it was our shit hole.
The location also played a big hand in its success. The crowd was a perfect mix of lower Greenville residents, musicians, and drunks -- like myself at the time. We also had the best jukebox in town, and Carter would change out music weekly. It was also haunted but that's a whole 'nother story.
Josh Baish, Owner of Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studios
RICK'S PLACE
I saw Tripping Daisy here my first night in Denton, and never left. Ended up working there for five years, first as janitor, then 'light guy,' then bartender.
Favorite Bands I saw there: Tripping Daisy, Reverend Horton Heat, Deep Blue Something, Bass X, The Nixons, Slobberone. Hagfish, Brave Combo, Zeke, Edie Brikell, Frank Black, Course of Empire, funland, Mojo Nixon
THE ARGO
It sat two blocks away, and was Rick's biggest rival and complete opposite. It was home to Denton's core music community.
Favorite Bands, and People who made up the scene: Bed Head, Breadbox, Light Bright Highway, Choke Bore, Dooms UK, The Pulley Brothers, Will Johnson, John Freeman, Scott Danbom, Wanz Dover, Rob Peters, Trinidad, Phillip Crowley, Dave Willingham, and Matt Barnhart.
GALAXY CLUB
I really liked GC. Orbitnroom too. I once saw Sparklehorse play to a mostly empty room :,(
In the early '90s, the place to go to see any show in DFW bigger than a house show or mid sized venue. The old Trees will probably always be known by the whole Nirvana thing, which is actually a good story. Look it up.
HOUSE OF TINNITUS
Rob Peters ran a DIY house venue on the Denton south side. The best part about it was that no matter what day it was you could hear bands from three blocks away in a residential neighborhood. It was always loud and dark.
Bands, and people who made it great: White Mice, Liturgy, Shane English, Rob, Andrew Haas.
STEVE'S BBQ
Short lived as a venue, but no one who saw a "show" there will forgot walking into a 10'x10 smokehouse to be greeted by an ornery old black guy sitting behind the front counter in a trashed recliner, swigging from a gin bottle, and watching court shows, barking at you, "WHAT YOU WANNA ORDER?!?!? "
Seeing Astronautalis do early versions of audience-suggested topic freestyle with a crowd of 20 friends all sloshed on BYOB booze is a favorite Denton memory.
Bands, and people who made it great: Astronautilus. Steve. Batey. Wally Campbell (35 Denton Operations Manager) seemed to be around a lot.
GYPSY TEA ROOM/ BALLROOM
Just a really great venue. Sorely missed. I once had to break up an escalating confrontation between an ex and Mark E. Smith.
Bands that made it great: The fall, J. Mascis, Vic Chesnutt, My Morning Jacket, Gang of Four, Mastodon.
SECRET HEADQUATERS
Run by a gone too soon collective led by Mr. Scott Porter, it sat across the street from Dan's Silverleaf, the former DIY space now a Rusty Taco.
DAN'S BAR/ DAN'S SILVERLEAF
I first met Dan in '94? '95? Dan is a Denton treasure. I'd marry Dan. Has been the handsome older brother to me for longer than he'd probably like. He's the patron saint of Denton music.
Bands, and People who made it great: The Wrens, two Cow Garage, Drive-By Truckers, Slobberbone, Centromantic, Baptist Generals, Dan, Pam, Ashbaugh, brent, Kate, Bonnie, Issac
Bonus! Favorite new venue, sorta:
MACARONI ISLAND
My ex-roommate, Michael Briggs, hosted a web series. Violitionist Sessions, of endless bands in the front room of my house. I once made Ty Segal, Mikal Cronin & Co. some really stout drinks with 90% mix of alcohol, and whatever juice was left in the fridge
After I "kicked him out," he moved to a new house, and does the same thing, but now it's shows too, and he has a bunch of people over, whereas I wouldn't allow it. He calls it Macaroni Island, and he does it well, and I'm very proud of him. Briggs is a great guy with a genuine love for music. Sad to say I haven't been to MI yet, but that's only because I got married and had a couple of babies, and I'm old.
Keep up with DC9 at Night on Twitter or Facebook.

Drawing enormous inspiration from the ever-developing field of neuroscience, Jillian uses her her knowledge of anatomy and somatic integration (a therapeutic technique that combines the mental, emotional, spiritual to the physical body) to craft a proprietary hands-on approach to yoga that is informed by her own experiences with physical trauma and illness. With primary emphases alignment, mindfulness, and intuitive sound and movement. She uses grounding techniques to train her students how to self-regulate and navigate through potential triggers that may otherwise lead to flashbacks or unhealthy cycles of behavior, all of this with careful consideration to not re-traumatizing the patient. Over time she teaches her students not to avoid physicality, but to combat old fight-or-flight responses by engaging the initial response and creating new muscle memory in the brain and body grounded in safety and strength.
Jillian co-created yoga programs for Reasons Eating Disorder Residential Center and BHC Alhambra Hospital in 2009, where she works with adolescents and adults. She also founded the office yoga programs for NPR (National Public Radio) in Culver City and MTA (Metro Transportation Authority) in Downtown Los Angeles.

When I was in North Carolina, we took a family outing to Sea Life in the Concord Mills Mall in Concord. They have a green screen when you first enter and we were able to get some really fun group photos.
Christian was mesmerized from the moment we entered the aquarium. He loved watching all the fish as they swam by.
While Christian was watching the fish, Logan and Lily were over at the touch tank exploring and learning about the sea creatures there.
The kids had a great time with all the interactive spots. They had a passport they could get stamped throughout the aquarium and turn in at the end for a prize. I love that Logan made sure he and Lily completed each task required before getting the stamp.
There were tubes through out the exhibits you could climb into.
We had a blast with these photo opps.
I especially enjoyed the underwater tunnel where you could walk under the sharks and stingrays swimming by.
The highlight of our visit was the behind the scenes tour we took.
We got an exclusive sneak peek into how the dedicated animal care team looks after all of their amazing creatures.
Remember the tunnel we walked under? We got to see it from above. It was absolutely incredible. Even my 71 year old dad had a blast. It's fun for the whole family!
We live in SC so this is doable for us. Looks like a great place for family fun!
We love North Carolina. We've visited a few times since we live in South Carolina, but we haven't been there. That looks like a great family experience. My girls would love it!
Looks like fun. I have always preferred aquariums over zoos. They give you a look into something that can be so mysterious.
It looks like everyone had a blast! This would be so awesome to visit. I love looking at sea life. It's so calming!
The octopus is really beautiful.
What a great family fun day! I would love to take my daughters to an aquariam like this!
I would love to visit this awesome place………………I love all types of sea life………….
That looks like a lot of fun. We have an aquarium in my home town. It had sharks, fish sea horses and big turtles.
Concord Mills is only about an hour from us but I haven't been in several years and didn't know they have an aquarium there. The kids will be excited to visit!
What a fun and interesting place to visit! Love the pics.
I think it looks like a fun day. Kids would definitely enjoy seeing this.
That looks like so much fun! I've never been to an aquarium. I just recently moved to Springfield, MO and they have a Bass Pro that recently added some kind of Wild Life and Aquarium section but it is so expensive for such a small area.
Reminds me of the Ripley's Aquarium in Toronto!

Q: How can I plot posterior predictive checks with a data.frame of data and an array of posterior samples? I am looking for a solution to plotting posterior predictive samples after developing an MCMC Gibbs sampler. Trouble is, I am unsure how to plot the observed data (a data.frame) over boxplots of my posterior samples (stored in an array) where the row entires in the data.frame correspond to the columns of the array. Unfortunately, it took me months  to develop an algorithm to get my posterior samples, so I am not interested in changing the arrangement of my posterior samples. I have provided a simplified example of how my data is set up below (in reality I have 200 obs.y and 10000 posterior samples for each obs.y so I cannot plot it by hand as I have below).
set.seed(11)

#example data#
obs.y=rnorm(5, 0, 10)
obs.x=rnorm(5, 1, 10)
dat=data.frame(obs.y, obs.x)

plot(obs.y,obs.x, main="data")

#example posterior samples for each obs.y (pretend I have implemented a MCMC algorithm to come up with these datapoints)#
post=array(NA, dim=c(100,5,1))
for (i in 1:100){
post[i,,] <- mvrnorm(1, obs, diag(15, 5, 5))}

#desired result#
boxplot(as.data.frame(post[,,]), ylim=c(-30,30))
points(1,dat$obs.y[1], col="green")
points(2,dat$obs.y[2], col="green")
points(3,dat$obs.y[3], col="green")
points(4,dat$obs.y[4], col="green")
