Hate to break it to ya, but you're under survelliance by the powers that be.

Here's the deal. You make a lot, (probably an understatement), of money from a relatively UNKNOWN source, (to the bank business world). In the banking world, you fall under "suspicious activity". They want you to PROVE where the money is coming from so they know you are not laundering money. I guarantee the RCMP has a file on you and are watching your transactions like a hawk. Bascially they're covering their asses just in case it turns out you're laundering drug or terrorist money.

I've been through the training for this and this is a perfect example. One thing to note is if an employee at the bank tells you that you are under survelliance, they could be fired. BUT I guarantee you this is the situation. You can change banks if you want. But it won't change the fact that you make too much money from a relatively unknown or should I say, misunderstood source. That = suspicious activity and that = WG being watched. The good news is as long as you keep your nose clean, nothing will happen.

Overall nothing but standard procedure. This occurs in Canada AND the U.S. (The u.s. is even more paranoid, rightly so)
