>>>But if I get chance, having something in Canada might be a really good idea.<<< I have considered that repeatedly and looked into it. Maybe a safe deposit box. I think you can also convert Canadian Maple Leafs into a cash account without paying sales tax in some provinces. To some extent owning CEF is like owning your own gold and silver in a bank vault in Canada.

I suppose that those in the 1930s who had to give up their gold also thought that it would never get confiscated. I think Faber is thinking that if it hits the fan, which is possible, Jews will be singled out: Goldman Sachs, Blankfein, Rubin, Lehman, Greenberg, Madoff, and a host of others aren't exactly High Episcopal WASPs. It's happened before, you know, in places where it was thought unthinkable. I definitely see his point and it is not insane. Whether it calls for Jews to emigrate, well, that does seem a bit extreme at the moment.
