Another hard hitting investigative report on the investment industry in Canada. These are the big banks and “professionals” that Canadians have placed a TRILLION dollars. Why will no one in charge talk to the reporters?
What is most concerning about this video is the last 20 seconds of the video where the reporter indicates that NONE of the so-called REGULATORS “that oversee this industry would talk on camera…”
In that the reporter was standing a street corner in Vancouver, one would think they would have contacted the BCSC. We are in the process of verifying this but in the meantime – let’s ponder WHY a government office that is responsible for protecting investors in BC would not openly discuss the topic with the press. Would they not want to make things better in this industry? To adhere to their mandate posted on their website? Isn’t this their fricking job?
Something is not right with our regulators – and it is time to start finding out what is going on! We, as Canadians, need to start making these people accountable for their actions – or possibly in the case of this advisor fiasco – their LACK of actions!
We encourage people to start phoning them – IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, OR CONCERNS ABOUT REPORTS LIKE THIS ONE BY THE CBC – CONTACT YOUR LOCAL REGULATOR AND ASK THEM TO EXPLAIN. This is your right as a Canadian!
