So it seems that the new narrative is that US banks are not allowed to do business in Canada. Honestly, I did not know that. Perhaps the reason I didn't know this is because I have a very poor background in finance.

Of course the other possibility is that it is simply not true.

See for example:

Citi Canada | Private & Commercial Banking

Citi is one of Canada's largest and longest-serving foreign banks serving clients with personal and commercial banking, treasury and trade solutions, and more.
