Some of that stuff, like what if I don't have a phone accessible, I've argued with some financial companies. One game me a special "work around" that I had to agree to (i.e., take on some risk). The other, fortunately, manages to recognize my primary machines and only calls now and then.
But a new degree of idiocy has appeared! I wanted to add a bank account (actually, change the account number since I changed them all some years ago when I lost a data-filled jump-drive). Well, the only way to authenticate oneself to them is by giving them your cell phone and them checking the identity of the account owner. My ing phone is on an account with my daughter/son-in-law as part of a group plan. So, it always fails. They don't seem to care. (I will vote with my money),
As implied in one of my tag-lines, the idiots just keep evolving.

Yeah, like trying to change my phone number at one of my banks. They need to call to verify it's really me. On the number they have. Which I want to change. Because it's no longer valid.

No worries, I thought that as long as we don't namedrop and point fingers all will be ok, I think few people will actually disagree. (Now I'm going to read the rest of the thread. )

I think the saying applies to countries in which people can choose their leaders. But you knew that already.

I have only been to Canada once maybe, and I did like it. But I don't know Quebec.

Think of it as something in Canada "you don't want to step in" (and all associated implications thereof).
