replies: text:  I don't think Scotiabank passes any more counterfeits than the other 4... If you wish to discuss quality control, I think it should relate to all of the banks. I think you are basing your discussion simply either on a personal reflection, or a rumor you heard from an unsolicited source.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.132.12.81 (talk) 12:15, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Inserted bombing in Mexico city.  
Perhaps a criticism section should be added (see earlier discussion) including atm problems, union complaints, and general latin american criticism (particularly the freezing of cuban assets in jaimaca).  
Still looking for purported reasons for the bombing of the bank branches.  Headlines today in canada make it sound as if Scotiabank is entirely unrelated to everything in Oaxaca, etc., and since i don't know otherwise, it would be quite interesting to find out the motivation.

replies: text: It may have perhaps been only coincidence that a bank was bombed at the same time as bombs hit the electoral commission and the right-wing political party offices; no group has claimed responsibility for any of the blasts so far.  But the timing's too weird, especially since the bank wasn't robbed.  So there must be some kind of connection between Scotiabank Mexico, or that branch (? why?), and the Oaxaca situation, or with the PRI or Mexican capitalist expansion or ??; where there was also a Burger King bombed in Oaxaca (or raided, don't have the article handy at the moment).  I've been monitoring La Jornada for the last two weeks so if I see any answers on the Scotiabank bomb I'll be back; in the meantime I'm wondering when even the bombing of a Canadian bank's branch in a neighbouring country doesn't merit further coverage, never mind the whole Oaxaca situation which has been near-completely blacked out; bizarre considering the depth of political crisis underway in D.F., never mind in Oaxaca itself.Skookum1 07:29, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You're on the same track as i am.  There's all this other criticism, and there's this this statement from the president cheerleading Scotiabank's growth in mexico (something to the effect of mexican gains proving how embracing the free-market there really <fill in neo-liberal statement here>.  So, i can see guess why, but there without a statement or even a printed speculation, there's nothing to add on the page about it.  Sigh.  --Chalyres 08:18, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: According to Miguel Angel Granados Chapa, it is just a modus operandi of these groups to target banks. Perhaps Scotiabank was most vulnerable. Also, President Elect Calderón used to work for the bank that was bought by Scotiabank to expand in Mexico.Hari Seldon 07:33, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Is Scotiabanks corporate headquarters in Halifax or Toronto ? Much like the Bank of Montreal and Royal Bank of Canada which have their corporate headquarters in Montreal, and their operational head offices in Toronto, I believe Scotiabank still has it's formal corporate headquarters in Nova Scotia. Even though all it's executives and operations are run out of Toronto. I can't find any info other than talk of their operational head offices or terribly written/Toronto-centric media junk.

However,  Moxy replied: I have no interests in the articles you mentioned above thus dont care all that much.  which I interpreted to mean  he was no longer  interested in championing Mrfrobison here and elsewhere,  but it appears I misunderstood.

message: The Controversies section dealing with missing money in Mexico has some copyright violations that need to be corrected.  The first two paragraphs, at least, are directly lifted from the first source for that section.  I don't have the time right now to go through the entire section (and to be honest, parts of each of the three sections under Controversies strongly look like they've been copied directly from a newspaper article), but will try to review and remove any copied text this evening. Ravensfire (talk) 21:26, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks, user:Ravensfire for pointing out that the first 2 paragraphs were copyrighted. I hope I have fixed that, however I did not get a chance to check whether the rest of this (interesting) section also needs to be worked on. Hopefully some of the other participants here will look into it. Ottawahitech (talk) 23:50, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I deleted the second section as it was just such a blatant and obvious copy.  I'm leery about the third controversy section as well. Ravensfire (talk) 20:53, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: @user:Ravensfire, Articles on Wikipedia should strive to be wp:NPOV. Removing information from the Controversies section is counter-productive.  Why not rephrase it in your own words instead? Ottawahitech (talk) 22:24, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Didn't have the time and such an obvious copyright violation should have been removed months ago when I first spotted it.  Copyright easily trumps NPOV. Ravensfire (talk) 00:47, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
