In Canada, the MasterCard version is called PayPass and I do have one of these PayPass-enabled cards and haven't had any problems with PayPass specifically (although my MasterCard was compromised just before Christmas but the bank reversed all the fraudulent transactions)
Yes, this is in effect in Canada too. I have a BMO Bank of Montreal MasterCard and BMO Bank of Montreal debit card, and both are chip and PIN enabled.
There's even a website with a bunch of information and FAQs on chip and PIN:

Full disclosure: I am a Bank of Montreal employee, but from my understanding, all major Canadian banks will be following suit if they haven't started already.
I think the question is if written comments like that should be construed as threats, or more like a journal where you'd just write for yourself. I'm also wondering if there's any other evidence that anyone on campus was targetted. The ban should have been lifted after the full story was found out.
A lot of data retention is because of legal requirements. At the bank I work at, we're required to keep *everything* for at least seven years - all our emails are archived, instant messenger communications, etc.
I've given my bank my work email address... which happens to be with the bank itself, thus allowing me to verify the sender because it'd be in the internal email system. I don't get much email from it at all though, just some newsletter from my investment account that I have with the bank I work at.
At least your airport security is run by the government in the USA. In Canada (at least at YYZ [Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport]), the security is outsourced to a third-party security company. Basically, the people responsible for security at our airports are rent-a-cops and NOT government employees.
Indeed. In a brokerage or (God forbid) a bank, you're lucky if the IT people have PCs that can run something later than Windows NT.
I work for a bank, albeit a Canadian bank that owns an American bank in Chicago, but we all have fairly new PCs - Dell OptiPlex GX520s or above... even the computers used by tellers are fairly good.
I'm curious as to why you don't seem to like banks... I only started there 3 months ago and am loving it significantly more than the hell-hole school board I used to work for. I've noticed that the bank cares a lot more about its employees in 3 months than the school board ever did (over 5 years!).

It's a sad day for Canada when we start doing this kind of stuff too.
If your life depends on (Twitter | Facebook | Government Money | Sports), you don't have one.
FTFY.
We have public health care in Canada, paid for through government money (although it originally comes from taxpayers)
They better stop advertising it as "unlimited" since it's not really truly "unlimited" anymore
IPV6 never caught on, like Windows Vista caught on. Better to wait for IPV7.
Wait for the first service pack too... IPv7, Service Pack 1
Yes it does. Zero liability will be assumed by anyone... and that's a promise!

I found your comment funny. In fact, I'm lovin' it!

About the price of an extra-value meal.
... and didn't it fail?

The + stands for the international dialing code... 011 So, to answer your question, to dial a +, dial 011

I guess they're not so "Direct" anymore.
Looks like this could become a good thing.... learning about the reality versus corporate-spin FUD
You must be new here. Welcome to Slashdot. ;)
... for everything else, including lawyer fees, there's MasterCard ;)
