Canadian Bank Will Let Its Hair Down For Super Bowl XLVI

Subject: Superbowl Sunday

As I’m sure you are aware, this Sunday is the Superbowl, one of the cornerstones of the sporting calendar. Despite being a Canadian bank, this is one event that many of us in the U.S. take pretty seriously.

As such, we invite you to wear the jersey of the winning team — the New York Giants or the New England Patriots — to the office on Monday, instead of usual work attire.

Please use your best judgment if clients are expected to be in the office or on the trading floor on Monday.

May the best team win!

    All the inadequate, non-producers from north of fifty-four forty will be sent home, massively unprofitable yet again…they can enjoy the pathetic five-figure bonuses and go back North to "start their own broker-dealer".

    Canada is the home of way-underpriced bought deals, the "clean-up print:, and toxic Bob et al. They shot their load early with Athabasca oil sands – ni hao bitches? Canada has 5 years latency on the bad shit, no forsight on the good shit.

    Oh, and remember: next Friday… is Hawaiian shirt day. So, you know, if you want to, go ahead and wear a Hawaiian shirt and jeans.
