Canadian banks are stabler because of the cost and missed opportunity costs are passed on to the customer.

I'm not too upset it's harder to qualify for a mortgage here because it saved us from getting hit even harder ten years ago.
I've been banking for about 15 years and never had much to complain about. Sometimes I get an NSF fee from TD, I just call them and they reverse it as a 'one-time courtesy.' I've lost count of how many times I've done that and they've never said no. My credit card has no yearly fee and I pay $15 a month for my chequing account with unlimited transactions and E-transfers. You can go cheaper but I use debit and e-Transfer a lot. That's the sum of my personal banking fees.
For my business account I use FirstOntario's eChequing account with no monthly fee. Only thing I ever pay on this account is a $1.50 e-Transfer fee when I pay myself or others. I did have to buy shares when I opened the account as it's a credit union but they were only $25. The shares have appreciated by $10 in the few years I've had the account so I'm not complaining.
Really not that bad for me. What's your situation?
English has so many words that depend on context. Polish? An act or cleaning or a people..
