Comment : We could probably allude to the Canadian banks as the five sisters and to make the allusion clearer we could add The National Bank and Sun Life financial to talk about the Canadian 7 sisters ( others might prefer to include Caisse de Depots et Placements du Quebec and Caisse Populaire Desjardins ) , but the clouts of Canadian bankers is nothing to compare to the original 7 sisters we aluded to in the 70's , their power does'nt reach as far but it's just as substantial inside Canada's borders .
