Canadians trust they're getting good financial advice from their banks — especially in these tough financial times. But a hidden camera investigation by Mark...
I’m not old enough to know, have Canadian banks been less profit driven and corrupt in the decades past?
I’ve seen none of this from the credit union I switched to a few years ago.
Also that was a pretty shitty look for the finance minister dodging the CBC. She could’ve stopped and spared a few words, even if just lip service. Perhaps as a finance minister, she’s got the Big 5 permanently in one of her ears.
I’ve never had an issue, and only really once or twice had them try to sell me a credit card and a quick “not interested” completely ends it.
At this point I just expect that any customer service interaction is likely not in my best interest, and treat it with the skepticism it deserves. There just isn’t enough enforcement to trust that laws will protect you, so it is your responsibility to protect yourself.
