Some Snowbirds Flying Without a Safety Net
(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 10/08/13 -- As Canadian snowbirds plan their annual trips south, Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC) is issuing a timely reminder that U.S. dollar deposits in Canadian banks are not covered by CDIC in the event a bank fails.

The show will air on the following dates (all times ET):
