[Dave Gray-Donald @dgrdon]

Indigenous ownership of pipelines like TMX and CGL as well as other fossil fuel infrastructure is currently a major focus of oil companies, colonial governments, banks, and some Indigenous groups.

What's going on? My latest for @briarpatchmag. https://t.co/1npfA0kCsG

#NoMoreDirtyBanks

[Coast Protectors @CoastProtectors]

Canada’s big five banks have collectively provided over *one trillion* dollars to fossil fuels since the Paris Agreement.

@RBC was the top global financier of fossil fuels in 2022...

[Coast Protectors @CoastProtectors]

These banks have provided a preferential borrowing rate to Trans Mountain, who’s seeking to borrow an additional $10 billion to continue construction after the cost of TMX soared to $31 billion last month.

Frontline defence is difficult & essential work that requires reliable access to resources.

It's uniquely challenging due to constant harassment, discrimination, and racialized violence #AbolishCIRG

Donate today to support land defenders as they uphold #IndigenousRights ♥️.

[Coast Protectors @CoastProtectors]

It’s time to audit the Canadian Scientific Advisory Secretariat’s and DFO’s research, review decision-making processes to restore credibility, and address DFO’s longstanding infringement on First Nations title and rights.

[Coast Protectors @CoastProtectors]

We have a responsibility to current and future generations to protect and preserve
🐟#WildSalmon .

First Nations jurisdiction and laws MUST be included in all planning and decision making in the fisheries sector.

[Coast Protectors @CoastProtectors]

Important decisions about this vital resource should be grounded in the precautionary principle with respect to cumulative impacts, the dire state of🐟 #WildSalmon, and the scientific uncertainty around the full extent of harm caused by open net pen farms. #Cdnpoli

“Your financing of #TMX will be a litmus test of the sincerity of your commitments, and you propping up the pipeline will mean that your bank will forever be linked to Canada’s greatest boondoggle," @tsleilwaututh & @ubcic wrote in a letter to @rbc.

The bank has financed coal, oil and gas to the tune of $270 billion since 2016, including rights violating projects like CGL and TMX (both condemned by UN's CERD).
