Please provide evidence that this hypothesis of yours accurately describes Canada's current economic situation. Thank you.

A simple bank run will cause the system to halt overnight and no government insurance scheme (if Canada has one) can stop that just like Cyprus couldn't stop it. Although not perfect measures they are close enough to show the magnitude -> as at 30-Nov-2013, M0=$69.3 billion while M1=$718.0 billion. Any regulations/measures implemented to try to prevent the bank run will cause a locking up of the financial system (capital controls), loss of money from the banking system (wealth loss and redistribution), hyperinflation or a mixture of all three. All of which will cause dislocation and consequent economic upheaval just like in the GFC-affected countries.
