This man in the article is the type of person I help just about EVERY week and it frustrates me to see a whole article written on this in Halifax and they interview professionals in Toronto. The typical story is a bank lender or a financial advisor told them they were declined. The industry changes rapidly and unless the broker keeps up and has options with several insurance suppliers, not banks, they may not be giving you the best advise. Seeing this story in my own backyard... tells me I need to be much more vocal. Come talk to me even if you think you are a lost cause. Marijuana use, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, MS, occupations such as offshore drilling or diving... The list goes on. This is what other insurance brokers/financial advisors in various parts of Canada call to consult with me on, so why don't you? My secret is out. PM me if you have a questions.
