The Canadian Community Reinvestment Coalition is a coalition of
100 anti-poverty, consumer, community economic development, labour
and small business groups representing more than three million
people from every province and the Northwest Territories that
advocates for bank accountability in Canada. This weekend, I had

Via Mark: Britain has just approved the first Islamic Bank of
Britain, the first bank of its kind which neither charges interest
on loans nor pays interest on savings. "The bank will not pay
or charge interest and will offer financial products that comply
with Islamic law." http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/3547374.stm
This is similar to the principles of operation of the Swedish
JAK Members Bank. (http://jak.aventus.nu/)

Perhaps we are making progress.
