Banks Are Using Your Money for Politics

About this episode

The episode discusses how banks may be using customer funds for political agendas that do not align with their values.

What is your bank really doing with your money? You trust your bank but do you really know what they stand for? From decisions made behind closed doors to policies pushed at annual meetings, your money could be funding agendas that don’t reflect your values. Gina Pappano, former head of market intelligence at the Toronto Stock Exchange, exposes what Canada’s big banks are doing and saying, and Marco Navarro-Genie, VP of Research at Frontier Centre, break down what this means for you—and what questions you should be asking your banker. This is information most Canadians never hear… but need to.
