**I've told you all, several times, that you shouldn't trust #BCNDP & that they're #sellout #neoliberals. They pander to #CorporateLobbyists invested in #Ecocide & exploitation of unceded #IndigenousLands. #RCMPCIRG = #CorporateMercenaries funded by #PublicMonies - our #Taxpayers funds. I told you that #DavidEby was groomed by #JohnHorgan too. I wasn't lying. They both lied to public though.**

This time, the resulting clash centers on a basic question: Should federal #law require more #financial professionals to put #retirees’ needs above all else — including their own paychecks — when they offer advice about how to #invest?
In April, the #Labor Dept finalized rules that would subject a wide array of #brokers to a higher #legal standard, requiring them to act as #fiduciaries. -
