"[The Royal Bank of Canada] continues to fund corporate colonialism, and displace Indigenous peoples from our lands at gunpoint – all for a fracked gas pipeline we cannot afford now or in the future." - #Wetsuweten Hereditary Chief Na’Moks

An amazing #FossilFoolsDay from sea to sea, thank you to all those who joined us in Montreal and across turtle Island as we recognize the fights against (neo)colonialism across turtle Island and the world.
Send a letter to the CRA to investigate charities for complicity in war crimes in #Gaza and violations of charity rules.

Since the Paris Agreement was signed, @RBC has invested billions into dirty oil, coal and gas. They want the public to think they’re climate leaders - but the money tells a different story. #FossilFoolsDay https://t.co/xnIORGk6Sl

Can you buy peace of mind? Can you remove fear surgically or mechanically? What destroys our peace of mind is anger and fear. If we cultivate compassion and love, we can counter anger and fear. So, we need to educate people about the way the mind works and our system of emotions.
Our message is loud and clear.
Yet governments and corporations, those that control resources and for decades have tried to control nature, bend it to their will, are looking away and counting their profits.
Scientists are risking their freedom. 1/4

Sometimes a crisis hits so hard that a country needs help from others to overcome it. That’s not one-way humanitarian saviourism, it’s international solidarity. 200 South African firefighters land in Edmonton, Canada to help fight the wildfire. Sound up 🔊
This is what #Greenwashing looks like.
Stop trampling human rights and Indigenous sovereignty, stop funding fossil fuels, and stop lying!
Also, call your mother. Or any mother! Sheesh.

We’re proud to introduce the @RBC Climate Action Institute. Our team of economists, tech experts and policy analysts will target Canada’s largest sources of emissions. We have an opportunity to inform, inspire, and build ideas on the journey to #NetZero https://t.co/IfsmARSoyA
Driving home from a week long assignment & get the news another Indigenous women’s body is found at a Winnipeg dump. 5 in one year!
So angry. What will it take to do something, Canada?
Join us in Saskatoon on Wednesday as we follow @RBC to the AGM they thought they could hide away in the prairies to avoid confrontation. Seems odd to have run to a bastion of Indigenous strength and solidarity. See you on Treaty 6, Dave McKay. #FossilFoolsDay#WetsuwetenStrong
Gidimt’en Clan member & Media Coordinator Jennifer Wickham told me she is comforting land defenders after the recent RCMP raid that “came out of nowhere” & said “CGL lies, the RCMP lies,” so the land defenders were concerned as to if the warrant was valid…
A great turnout on April 1st in Ottawa's #FossilFoolsDay of action. We stood in Solidarity with Indigenous land defenders calling on the @RBC to divest from the CGL pipeline and stop funding fossil fuels!

Canadian taxpayers fund the RCMP to harass, surveil, violently arrest & remove Indigenous Peoples from their homelands. Right now, taxpayers are funding multiple units of CIRG RCMP in remote British Columbia to assist Canada & industry in human rights violations @ricochet_en
Wet'suwet'en Strong.
The number one funder of fossil fuels in so-called Canada, and the corporation that loves to trample human rights and Indigenous sovereignty? Not strong.
