Yes, I agree about loosing their founding values, but isn't that poised to happen when membership increase for any cooperative? How large is Desjardins?
BTW, I own shares of french financial cooperative La Nef where the founding values are very much alive. They have more than 13 000 shareholders. Jacky Blanc is a very energetic speaker BTW :).
Desjardins has a little more than 5 million members and around 40 000 employees. "Dieu se rit des hommes qui se plaignent des conséquences alors qu'ils en chérissent les causes" Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet
