Take Action to Regulate Banks’ Funding of Fossil Fuels

For years, Canada’s big banks have been using our money to fuel the climate crisis. Not only have they refused to divest from fossil fuels, but Canadian banks are actually increasing their funding of fossil fuels — and are now among the worst 15 fossil fuel funders in the whole world. [1] RBC, ScotiaBank, TD, BMO, and CIBC provided over ONE TRILLION CDN to fossil fuels since the global climate change treaty known as the Paris Agreement was signed. [2] It’s time for the government to step in to defund fossil fuels.

You can read more about Motion 84 here, - which was brought forward in an effort to hold financial institutions accountable by bringing them into compliance with the Uniated Nations' Paris Agreement on climate change - and you can read our official letter to these MPs here.

Join us in asking these key MPs to support the regulation of Canada’s financial institutions and make them aligned with the United Nations Paris Agreement on climate change.

Reminder:

Our goal is to encourage these politicans, not to tear them down, so please follow these guidelines.

Be encouraging

Keep it factual

Be aggressive

Attack MPs' personal lives
