"Canada’s banks rated most stable in the world"
[http://www.thestar.com/business/article/858886--canada-s-banks-rated-most-stable-in-the-world]


Canada’s banking system has been ranked the world’s soundest for the third straight year by the World Economic Forum.

The Geneva-based think-tank also puts Canada in the top 10 countries for availability of financial services, corporate ethics, and overall quality of the educational system.

“It’s good to be No. 1,” Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said Thursday in Kitchener. “It has made a big difference in terms of Canada’s reputation in the world, and our leadership in the world in the G8 and the G20, particularly with respect to fiscal matters.”

Canada’s big banks withstood the financial crisis without taking government bailouts, and recorded only a fraction of the $1.3 trillion (U.S.) in writedowns taken by banks and brokers worldwide.

I would say this more to do with former Liberal Finance Minister Paul Martin than anything the Conservatives have done.
