SAID CHICKEN LITTLE.
And a lot of people believed him
for a while. Until (thank goodness)
it was pointed out that what
had. hit Chicken Little on the
head wasn't sky at all, it was just
a small acorn.
Now these days, a lot of people
• believe that the country is falling apart.
• And because we at Scotiabank
have been a part of this country for
150 years, we think it is really important
to point out that while the economy is
not in very good shape, it is not all
over, finished, kaput.
But most of the reports—what you
read in the papers, what you see on
TV—seem to us to be leaving the impres-
sion that the situation is almost
hopeless.
Which only adds to the fear and
pessimism.
Sure times are tough. But we've
believed in this country before it even
was a country
This year, we're celebrating our
150th anniversary And through the
millions of Canadians we've met and
dealt with, we've been left with a posi-
tive and optimistic outlook for the long
term.
Canada is still rich in resources,
and richer still in people.
Our institutions are basically
sound and stable.
Most of us have been through
tough times before. And made it
through. And we will again. We're going
to make it.
Maybe we should all start acting
that way.
