Class Actions for "no class" actions

We may have to change the name of the documentary. At very least it is turning into several stories of interest, with different information streams.

Class actions are being mentioned at every turn we take.
As we interview industry people, ex-industry people, clients, ex-clients, regulators, ex-regulators, journalists, politicians, wanna-be politicians..........one theme keeps repeating itself:
1. The system is busted up pretty bad, and needs repair.
2. Those who are responsible for it's condition are not about to be the ones to repair it.
3. Lawyers, class actions, huge penalties and similar amounts of shame and disclosure are likely to descend upon various aspects of the industry if what many people say is true.

We are currently in Toronto, but have meetings scheduled back in Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia with more of the above.

Too much to describe. Too much to even grasp right this minute, but I will try and update what I can when I can. Thanks to all those stand up people who truly "stand up" and make thier voice heard about the types of financial abuse we are witness to. Elder abuse. Client abuse.

Abuse of any kind is the responsibility of every single one of us. If any one of us were to stand by without standing up when someone is being abused, I think we would have some serious work to do on ourselves.

The film is starting to be a who's who of people that not only "stand by", during financial abuse, but manage to profit from financial abuse of the public.
