Hey, Why Not?
It's one of those fascinating ideas which comes up as a joke, but sticks around, because I can find nothing inherently wrong with it.
Introducing...
The Revenue Canada MasterCard!
That's right. Rather than putting money into the pockets of big financial corporations and banks, now your interest fees (which start at a low introductory rate of 5% for six months) can go directly toward the national debt! Get all the convenience of a regular credit card, combined with the satisfaction of knowing that you're contributing to the financial health of your country, every time you swipe your card.
What's more, that low introductory rate will be back. Unlike commercial cards, the Revenue Canada card doesn't just stay at the high rate forever. Just bring your RevCanCard to any polling station, next time you vote in any civic, provincial, or federal election... swipe your card at the door, and your interest rate drops back down to the intro rate for another six months!
Also available is the RevCan / Air Canada AeroCan card, which gains you air miles every time you use it - miles which count double for all Canadian domestic flights onboard Air Canada. Sign up for either version when you renew your passport, and Immigration Canada will put your passport photo right on the back of your card - add security to your signature! - for no extra charge.
Your grandmother relied on Canada Savings Bonds. Today's generation of patriots have a new financial option. The RevCanCard. Get yours today. As a limited time offer, each card comes with a transparent sew-on envelope patch, for your backpack or jacket. Go hitchiking in Europe with the maple leaf proudly flying... and swipe the leaf today.
