12-year-old Ontario girl slams modern banking system, becomes YouTube hit

[arikara]

TORONTO — Canada’s banking system has been the subject of international praise from economists grappling with global turmoil, but one 12-year-old girl begs to differ.

Victoria Grant of Cambridge, Ont. is earning a reputation as a financial pundit after her tirade against her homeland’s borrowing practices went viral on YouTube.

Grant is already a veteran of the financial lecture circuit, but her appearance on April 27 is garnering unusual attention. A video of her address, shot at the Public Banking in America Conference in Philadelphia, has already attracted nearly 65,000 views since being posted a week ago.

3. How long has she been studying this issue, and how far will this spread among the populace?

I'm shocked that we're even able to find this video. The Plutocrats are failing miserably in the most obvious strategy to discredit her on the basis of her age. It may even be too late to control the damage this girl is doing. God willing...

4. I saw a video of her a few months ago

I thought it was a class project or something, but she seems to be extremely knowledgeable about financial matters.

If she's the future, then we have a little less to worry about.

5. I've been saying this for years.

I've been on vive le canada saying this is the answer and been laughed at for being so simple-minded. I am so happy it's finally getting some play on the internet. What a smart person.
I also have no use for steve harper.
