Okay, I get email from I AM CANADIAN because there's sometimes some good offers. However, I get this email asking me
"We know you've got Canadian Pride. But how much exactly?"
The whole promotion is pushing a MasterCard with the I AM CANADIAN labelling all over it. At first I was truly tempted. However, I looked in the fine-print for the bank that was financing the card.
Well, to start... I have enough Canadian Pride not to get a credit card from MBNA, which is an American-based bank.
We have five banks based in Canada... so even though there's a Canadian flag on it, I find it more Canadian to give my money to a Canadian institution, than pay an American to label me as a Canadian.
